How much does a super tanker weights?
A super tanker typically weighs around 200,000 to 320,000 metric tons when fully loaded with cargo.
Why Vehicles carrying inflammable material like petrol are covered with bad conductors of heat?
Usually, a petrol tanker would not need to be insulated from the ambient temperature.But there are substances such as LPG that have a quite low boiling point, and these could be insulated.And again, tankers carrying liquids with a very low boiling point, such as liquid oxygen or liquid nitrogen will almost always be well insulated.
Can you provide an explanation for the implosion of a tanker car?
The implosion of a tanker car can occur when the pressure inside the car becomes significantly higher than the pressure outside, causing the walls of the car to collapse inward. This can happen due to factors such as rapid changes in temperature or pressure, structural weaknesses in the car, or improper loading of the cargo. The sudden collapse of the tanker car can result in a dangerous release of the cargo and potential hazards to the surrounding area.
Why does oil tankers float?
Oil tankers float because of their buoyancy, which is the upward force exerted by a fluid that opposes the weight of an object immersed in it. The shape and design of the tanker, along with the volume of water displaced by the vessel, help to keep it afloat. Additionally, the material used in the construction of the tanker is designed to be less dense than water, further contributing to its ability to float.
How do you transport oil from one place to another?
Oil is typically transported through pipelines, tanker trucks, rail cars, and oil tankers. Pipelines are the most common method for long-distance transportation due to their efficiency and cost-effectiveness, while tanker trucks and rail cars are used for shorter distances. Oil tankers are used for overseas transport of oil.
Why is a petrol tanker sometimes connected to the ground by means of a wire before petrol in unloaded?
Because even if there's a slight static charge in the tanker, it could ignite the petrol and explode. If it's connected to the ground by a wire, then all the static charge in the truck is removed (ie grounding the truck).
How do you use tanker in sentence?
A tanker is used to transport the Petrol from storage tanks to the petrol station.
What is a petrol container?
Tank, Tanker or a Canister.
Why is a petrol tanker sometimes connected to the ground by means of a wire before petrol is uploaded?
Most likely, this is to discharge any static electricity that the tanker may have accrued during its journey. Such static can be dangerous because it may cause the petrol to ignite; therefore, the wire 'grounds' the tanker (i.e. it allows the electricity to pass harmlessly into the ground) and removes this threat.
What is a boat that carries oil or petrol called?
It is a ship known generally as a tanker.
Why is a metallic chain of a petrol supply tanker made to roll on the road?
A metallic chain on a petrol supply tanker is designed to roll on the road to ensure it remains grounded, preventing the buildup of static electricity. As fuel is transferred, static charges can accumulate due to the movement of fuel within the tanker and friction with the air. By grounding the tanker, the chain helps dissipate any static charge safely, reducing the risk of sparks that could ignite flammable vapors. This safety measure is crucial in preventing fire hazards during fuel delivery.
What do you call a boat that carries oil or petrol which starts with letter T?
I am not sure, I wrote tanker.
During the delivery of gasoline from a tanker to a local gasoline station the driver is disabled and taken to a medical facility Who has the responsibility for security on the tanker?
The oil company who provided the gas/petrol. However, the police would probably guard the tanker until another driver arrived.
Can one convert a petrol road tanker to a LPG road tanker?
Sure, just change the tank and all the plumbing. If you were trying to re-purpose the tank, no, the tank has to survive a 300 psi pressure test
Why is the body of an oil tanker connected with a metal wire at the ground?
As fuel is pumped from the tanker car to a reservoir, charge can quickly build up as the fluid flows through the hoses. This static charge can create sparks capable of igniting the fuel. By connecting the body of the tanker car to the ground, the static charge can be transferred to the ground. A metal wire is used since metals are conductive and allow charge to flow through them.
What are road tankers?
Road tankers are large lorries that carry large tanks that can hold bulk liquids or powder. A milk tanker will carry milk. And an oil tanker will carry petroleum products - petrol, diesel, oil, etc.
What causes an oil spill?
where an oil tanker collides with another ship at sea... i think
