Question 2589 Deck General
70% to passNo vessel may use or carry an oil transfer hose unless it meets certain requirements. Which of the following is NOT among those requirements?
The correct answer is A) Metallic reinforcement. The requirements for oil transfer hoses do not include metallic reinforcement as a mandatory specification. The other requirements listed - a bursting pressure at least four times the sum of the relief valve setting and static head, a working pressure more than the sum of the relief valve setting and static head, and identification markings - are all valid requirements as per the relevant regulations. While metallic reinforcement may be a common or desirable feature, it is not an absolute requirement for oil transfer hoses. The other answer choices accurately reflect the regulatory requirements for oil transfer hoses.
