Question 2593Deck General70% to pass
A large metallic device, mounted directly in the piping (usually located at the dock near the point where the vapor hose is attached), designed to prevent the passage of a rapidly moving flame through the piping is called a _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) detonation arrestor.
A detonation arrestor is a large metallic device installed directly in the piping, usually near the vapor hose connection at the dock. It is designed to prevent the passage of a rapidly moving flame through the piping, thus stopping the propagation of a detonation or explosion. This is a key safety feature required by US Coast Guard regulations for cargo transfer operations involving flammable or combustible liquids.
The other answer choices are incorrect because a "detonation blocker" is not a standard term, "flame arrestor" is a broader term that encompasses detonation arrestors, and a "flame screen" is a different device used for a different purpose.
