Which of the following statements is correct concerning fixed carbon dioxide fire extinguishing systems?

Question 1 of 27070

Which of the following statements is correct concerning fixed carbon dioxide fire extinguishing systems?

🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR requirements for fixed CO₂ fire-extinguishing systems on inspected vessels • Purpose of distribution piping design (even gas flow and coverage in the protected space) • Restrictions on dual‑use piping for fire-extinguishing systems

💭 Think About

• For each option, ask yourself: Does this match the typical regulatory goal of ensuring adequate CO₂ to every protected space without unnecessary duplication? • Think about why regulators might limit what the CO₂ piping can be used for. What safety problem are they trying to prevent? • Consider how CO₂ must be distributed inside a space: Why might throttling and proportioning of outlets be mentioned in the rules?

✅ Before You Answer

• Compare each statement with the exact wording in 46 CFR sections on fixed CO₂ systems (e.g., cargo spaces, machinery spaces). • Check whether regulations allow one CO₂ supply to serve multiple spaces, provided certain controls or valves are in place. • Verify if the regulations explicitly say CO₂ system piping can be used with the fire‑detecting system, or if they require it to be completely separate.

Question 1 of 27070

Which of the following statements is correct concerning fixed carbon dioxide fire extinguishing systems?

A separate supply of carbon dioxide must be provided for each space protected.

The piping shall be used for no other purpose except that it may be incorporated with the fire-detecting system.

Distribution piping within the space shall be proportioned from the supply line to give the proper throttling to the outlets.

All of the above.
