Question 984Deck General70% to pass
Cargo hose carried on tank vessels shall be able to withstand a pressure of at least how many psi?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 150 psi.
The reason is that according to the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 46, Section 32.35-5, cargo hoses carried on tank vessels must be able to withstand a pressure of at least 150 psi. This requirement ensures the hoses can safely handle the high pressures typically encountered during cargo loading and unloading operations on tank ships and barges.
The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not meet the 150 psi minimum standard specified in the regulations. A pressure rating of 75 psi, 100 psi, or 120 psi would not be sufficient for the demands of tank vessel cargo handling.
