Which of the following is the pipe used to connect two separate piping systems on a tank vessel?
• Tank vessel cargo piping terminology • How different systems on a tank vessel (port/stbd, main/strip, loading/discharge) are interconnected • Typical names used in piping diagrams and cargo system line plans
• Think about what you would call a line that lets cargo move from one separate system to another, like from port to starboard or from one tank group to another. • Look at each word in the choices and picture how it would likely be labeled on a cargo piping diagram on a tanker. • Ask yourself which of these terms you’ve actually seen used in manuals, piping schematics, or valve line-up checklists for tankers.
• Verify which term is commonly used on cargo line diagrams and manifold line-ups to describe a line between two otherwise separate systems. • Eliminate any choice that sounds generic and not like a specific, standard piece of cargo piping. • Check that the term you pick is used as the name of a pipe or line, not just a general action (like moving or joining).
