Question 2623Deck General70% to pass
During the annual inspection by the owner, each nonmetallic oil transfer hose must not burst, bulge, leak, or abnormally distort under static liquid pressure of at least _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 1½ times the maximum allowable working pressure.
The reason this is the correct answer is that under 46 CFR 56.97-5, which covers the inspection and testing requirements for nonmetallic oil transfer hoses, it states that each hose must not burst, bulge, leak, or abnormally distort under a static liquid pressure of at least 1½ times the maximum allowable working pressure of the hose.
The other options are incorrect because A) the shoreside pump discharge pressure may not be high enough to test the hose to the required 1½ times the maximum allowable working pressure, B) the relief valve setting pressure may not be representative of the maximum allowable working pressure, and D) 100 pounds per square inch may not be 1½ times the maximum allowable working pressure for all hoses.
