🔍 Key Concepts

• Requirements for fixed (permanently installed) gas detection systems on tank vessels in 46 CFR • Locations where flammable or toxic vapors are most likely to accumulate (enclosed spaces with cargo vapors) • The difference between spaces that are routinely exposed to cargo vapors vs. those that are only indirectly exposed

💭 Think About

• For each listed space (cargo compressor room, cargo pump room, air lock), ask: is this an enclosed space where cargo vapors can accumulate and pose a hazard? • Consider which of these spaces are explicitly named in 46 CFR as requiring fixed gas detection rather than just portable detectors. • Think about why an air lock is used in hazardous area design and whether that function normally relies on fixed gas detection.

✅ Before You Answer

• Check 46 CFR tank vessel construction and equipment sections for exactly which spaces must have fixed gas detection. • Verify whether air locks are treated as gas-dangerous spaces or as protective buffer zones between gas-dangerous and gas-safe spaces. • Confirm if regulations group cargo compressor rooms and cargo pump rooms together for gas detection requirements.
