🔍 Key Concepts

• Striker plate as used in tank sounding and ullaging operations • The basic parts of a sounding pipe and how a sounding bob/tape is used • Difference between parts meant to take impact vs parts meant to seal, limit travel, or absorb vibration

💭 Think About

• When a metal bob is lowered down a sounding pipe, what does it hit first at the bottom of the tank or pipe? What surface is needed there? • Which choice best fits something designed to take repeated impact from a weight, rather than to control movement of a valve stem or reduce vibration? • If you were designing a tank so that repeated sounding wouldn’t damage the tank bottom, what simple extra piece of metal would you add, and what would you call its job?

✅ Before You Answer

• Match the word “striker” with what it suggests about impact or contact • Check which choice specifically mentions a landing or contact surface for something being dropped or lowered • Eliminate options that deal with valves, stems, or vibration, since those are different systems from sounding operations
