How many bolts are required in a temporarily connected standard ANSI (American National Standards Institute) coupling?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 4 bolts.
According to the ANSI standards for temporarily connected standard couplings, a coupling should have 4 bolts to securely connect the components. This redundant bolted connection ensures the coupling remains stable and does not come apart during use. The other answer choices (2, 6, or 8 bolts) do not align with the ANSI standard requirements for this type of coupling.
