Question 1250Deck General70% to pass
A tanker is loaded with 8,000 barrels of fuel oil. The temperature of the cargo is 50°F. API gravity is 37°. The volume correction factor (VCF) is .0005. What is the net amount in gallons of cargo loaded?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 337,680 gallons.
To calculate the net amount of cargo loaded, you need to use the formula: Volume (barrels) x VCF = Net Volume (gallons). Given the information provided:
- Volume = 8,000 barrels
- VCF = 0.0005
- Applying the formula: 8,000 barrels x 0.0005 = 4,000 gallons
Therefore, the net amount of cargo loaded is 337,680 gallons (8,000 barrels x 42 gallons/barrel).
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately apply the given information and formula to calculate the net volume.
