Question 1445 Deck General

70% to pass

Each pressure gage used in an oil transfer operation must be accurate to within what percent?

A 1 percent
B 3 percent
C 5 percent
D 10 percent
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) 10 percent. According to the regulations set forth by the US Coast Guard, each pressure gage used in an oil transfer operation must be accurate to within 10 percent. This requirement is specified in 33 CFR 156.170(c)(1), which states that pressure gages must be "accurate to within 10 percent of the maximum expected pressure." The other options are incorrect because they do not align with the Coast Guard's regulations. A 1 percent, 3 percent, or 5 percent accuracy requirement would be more stringent than the actual 10 percent standard.
