Your answer

How is Hydrogen Sulphide gas recognised by your senses?

It smells like rotten eggs.
Your answer
It smells like drying paint.
Your answer
It smells like almonds.
Your answer
It is not possible to sense, ever.
Your answer

How long are catalytical-type sensors expected to last?

2 years.
Your answer
They have no effective lifespan.
Your answer
10 years.
Your answer
5 years.
Your answer

What is normally NOT required according to IMO rules to enter an enclosed space onboard a ship?

A permit to work.
Your answer
Personal protective equipment.
Your answer
Gas levels to be monitored by portable equipment.
Your answer
A visual and smell check.
Your answer

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

It increases the readout.
Your answer
It reduces the temperature too much to get a correct reading.
Your answer
It dilutes the calibration gas.
Your answer
It has no effect on the testing.
Your answer

What is the function of a Flame Arrestor in the sampling system?

To prevent explosions.
Your answer
