Question 1861Deck General70% to pass
A carbon dioxide fire extinguisher is required to be recharged if the weight loss exceeds what percentage of the weight of the charge? (small passenger vessel regulations)
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) Ten percent.
According to the small passenger vessel regulations, a carbon dioxide fire extinguisher is required to be recharged if the weight loss exceeds 10% of the weight of the charge. This is to ensure the extinguisher maintains its full fire-fighting capability and can be effectively used in an emergency. The other options (1%, 5%, and 7%) are incorrect as they do not align with the 10% weight loss threshold specified in the regulations.
