Question 2289Deck General70% to pass
According to U.S. regulations what is the maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP) for each hose assembly used for transferring oil?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) more than the sum of the pressure of the relief valve setting.
According to U.S. Coast Guard regulations, the maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP) for each hose assembly used for transferring oil must be more than the sum of the pressure of the relief valve setting. This ensures that the hose can withstand the maximum pressure that could be exerted on it, even if the relief valve activates. The other options are incorrect because they either do not align with the regulations or specify an arbitrary MAWP value without referring to the relief valve pressure.
