Q

Which of the following describes the depth of a product in a tank?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Differences between ullage, innage, and outage in cargo tank measurements • What part of the tank (top vs bottom) each term is referenced from • How cargo surveyors and tankermen describe empty space versus liquid depth

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: which term is used when you measure how much LIQUID is in the tank, from a fixed reference point? • Which terms are commonly associated with the amount of EMPTY SPACE above the liquid, rather than the liquid itself? • Think about routine cargo operations: when loading, which measurement tells you how ‘full’ the tank already is in terms of product DEPTH?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option(s) clearly refer to empty space above the liquid instead of the product itself. • Recall which term a tankerman uses when taking a sound (depth of liquid) versus a ullage (space to top) reading. • Before choosing, make sure your selection refers specifically to depth of product and not the space remaining in the tank.
