What are the pros of double hulls?

Environmental Protection


Protection against minor shell damage increased


Segregated ballast capacity


Stripping/ draining of cargo tanks more effective (well/sump vs. bell mouth)


What are the cons of double hulls?

Cost vs. protection


Salt water corrosion


Inadequate spacing against high energy collisions


Reduced Cargo carrying capacity


Fire/ explosion risks


Difficulty of gas freeing (tank entry)


Increased monetary cost for shipyard


Alternative technology


Economic disadvantages with phase in/ out schedule


Lack of proper maintenance on phased out vessels

When should we keep manifolds closed?

When there are no cargo transfer procedures being preformed.

what do valves control?

flow

What is direct piping?

this is characterized by 1 or more main lines oriented in a fore and aft direction from the cargo tanks to the pump room.

What is a bell mouth used for?

It's designed to minimize vortexing.

What is Vortexing?

A whirlpool effect due to cargo levels at the stripping stage.

What is a loop or main ring?

Another type of bottom piping system commonly seen on barges and dedicated carriers.

What is another name for crossover?

Mix Master and is piping used to interconnect different cargo systems or groups.

What is manifold?

It is the end of the line for deck piping.

What is another name for mechanical loading arm?

Chick sans

What flange is at the end of a manifold?

Blank Flange

Who sets the standards for flanges?

American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and OCIMF sets it internationally.

How many bolts on ANSI coupling? Non ANSI?

4 bolts for an 8 bolt hole. A bolt in every hole for non ANSI coupling.

What does a reducer look like?

What is a blank flange?

A solid plate used to seal end of pipeline such as cargo manifold (picture pending)

What is a runaround?

Temporary piece of pipe or cargo hose used to interconnect cargo systems or groups.

What is a spectacle flange?

A flange used to segegate or isolate a pipeline

What is a drip pen?

Allows excess oil to drip from manifold. collects it so it doesn't contaminate environment.

What is a riser?

A pipe that transports liquid up from the cargo pump to the main deck. Not to be confused with mast riser.

What is a dresser coupling?

Used for connecting piping on board tankers as they provide the flexibility necessary to withstand stresses caused by expanding/ contracting during temperature changes.
