Your answer

What is the purpose of fitting a gas detector in a ventilation duct?

To trip the engines in case of very humid air.
Your answer
To detect all kinds of gasses with only one detector.
Your answer
To trip the ventilation air in case of a gas leak outside.
Your answer
To notify the bridge of the outside air temperature.
Your answer

What kind of gas detection is required in water ballast tanks adjacent to cargo tanks on newer tankers?

Portable gas detection is considered sufficient.
Your answer
Two fixed pipe gas detection points.
Your answer
One suction point fixed gas detection point.
Your answer
No gas detection is required in water ballast tanks.
Your answer

Why must the airflow in a ventilation duct be switched off during testing and calibration?

It increases the readout.
Your answer
It has no effect on the testing.
Your answer
It dilutes the calibration gas.
