🔍 Key Concepts

• Inert gas system purpose on tankers • Difference between preventing vapor formation and controlling atmosphere inside the tank • Meaning of lower explosive limit (LEL) and how gas concentration ranges affect ignition

💭 Think About

• Is the system mainly protecting the pumproom, the cargo lines, or the cargo tanks themselves? • Does the system work by stopping gas from being created, or by changing the oxygen/gas mixture so it cannot burn? • Think about what happens to oxygen concentration and flammable range when inert gas is introduced into a cargo tank.

✅ Before You Answer

• Which option correctly focuses on the cargo tank atmosphere, not just lines or pumprooms? • Which choice best reflects that inert gas systems keep the atmosphere non-flammable, rather than simply "below the LEL"? • Eliminate any option that suggests the system actually blows out lines or physically removes gas, instead of changing the tank’s internal atmosphere composition.
