According to the Coast Guard Pollution Prevention Regulations (33 CFR), what is the minimum number of bolts required in a temporarily connected standard ANSI coupling?
• 33 CFR pollution prevention regulations related to oil transfer connections • Requirements for temporary hose connections and standard ANSI flanges • How many bolts are needed to ensure a full, leak‑tight engagement of a standard flange
• Think about why the Coast Guard specifies a minimum number of bolts—what problem are they trying to prevent during transfers? • Consider how many bolts are typically needed on a standard ANSI flange so that gasket compression is even all around the connection. • Ask yourself: which of these choices would most likely be considered inadequate for a full‑size transfer flange under Coast Guard standards?
• Look up the specific 33 CFR section that covers oil or hazardous material transfer hose connections and ANSI couplings. • Verify the exact wording about "temporarily connected standard ANSI couplings" and count the minimum number of bolts specified there. • Confirm that the number you pick would realistically provide uniform gasket compression and prevent leaks during transfers.
