Question 3738 Deck General

The correct answer is B) 6,000 pounds per square inch. The reason this is the correct answer is that the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 46, Subchapter D, Part 95, Section 95.15-15 requires that CO2 fixed fire extinguishing systems on offshore drilling units must be designed to withstand a minimum bursting pressure of 6,000 pounds per square inch. This regulation ensures the system can operate effectively and safely under the high-pressure conditions present in offshore environments. The other options are incorrect because they do not align with the regulatory requirement specified in the CFR. Option A (5,000 psi) is too low, while options C (8,000 psi) and D (10,000 psi) are higher than the mandated 6,000 psi minimum.
