Question 2588 Deck General
70% to passA cargo hose is marked with which of the following?
A
bursting pressure
B
maximum working pressure
C
safety relief valve setting
D
maximum temperature
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) maximum working pressure. Cargo hoses are marked with their maximum working pressure, which is the highest pressure the hose is designed to safely handle during normal operations. This is an important safety specification that helps ensure the hose is not overpressurized and that the cargo can be safely transferred. The other options are not what cargo hoses are typically marked with. Bursting pressure, safety relief valve setting, and maximum temperature are not standard markings found on cargo hoses, though those specifications may be available from the manufacturer.
