Q

The DEEP DRILLER is loaded as shown in the Sample Load Form #3 (Preparing to Drill). According to the deck load graph, how much additional deck load could be added to the unit?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Deck load graph interpretation on Sample Load Form #3 • Difference between allowable deck load and current deck load • Understanding units: long tons vs other ton units

💭 Think About

• How do you read from the deck load graph the maximum allowable deck load for the current condition of the DEEP DRILLER? • Once you know the allowable deck load, what simple calculation lets you find how much more can be added? • Are you sure all values you’re comparing are in long tons, and not a different unit?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm the maximum permissible deck load from the graph for the given draft/condition • Subtract the actual total deck load shown on Sample Load Form #3 from the maximum permissible value • Double-check that all values used in your calculation are in long tons and from the same condition/line on the graph
