Question 1 of 27070

Q

In accordance with regulations, ethylene oxide shall be loaded below what temperature?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Special tankship regulations for certain hazardous chemicals (46 CFR Part 153) • Difference between a cargo’s flash point and its maximum allowable loading temperature • Why ethylene oxide has very strict temperature limits due to polymerization and explosion risk

💭 Think About

• Which of these choices sounds like a specific regulatory limit that would be written into a table of cargo requirements? • Is ethylene oxide handled like an ordinary flammable liquid, or does it have extra‑strict temperature controls compared with typical petroleum products? • Think about whether the regulation is likely to say "below its flash point" (a variable number) or a fixed temperature value that applies every time.

✅ Before You Answer

• Look at the chemical tables in 46 CFR Part 153 for ethylene oxide and note the maximum permitted cargo temperature for loading. • Confirm whether the regulation uses a fixed temperature number instead of a relative statement like "below its flash point." • Make sure you are thinking about loading temperature limits, not storage pressure or relief valve settings.
