Question 3628 Deck General

70% to pass

Each fire pump on a MODU must have a pressure gauge located at _______________.

A the pump station
B each fire station discharge
C the pump discharge
D the manifold connection
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) the pump discharge. The reason this is the correct answer is that the regulations for fire protection systems on mobile offshore drilling units (MODUs) require that each fire pump must have a pressure gauge located at the pump discharge. This allows the crew to monitor the pressure being delivered by the fire pump, which is important for ensuring the proper operation and performance of the fire protection system. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not specify the location required by the regulations. Placing the pressure gauge at the pump station, fire station discharge, or manifold connection would not meet the regulatory requirement for the gauge to be located at the pump discharge.
