When is it better for a tank to have no baffles inside it?
Correct answer: When the inside of the tank requires thorough cleaning.
Answer options
- AWhen the cargo expands a great deal as it warms
- BWhen the cargo is an extremely dense liquid
- CWhen the inside of the tank requires thorough cleaning Correct
Why
Sanitation rules bar baffles in tanks that haul food products such as milk, because the partitions make the interior very hard to clean completely. Dense or expanding liquids are handled by loading less and leaving outage, not by doing without baffles.
