When oil approaches its pour point the rate at which viscosity increases as temperature fallsĪccelerates until sufficient wax has precipitated to solidify the product. Internal resistance varies with the temperature in a predictable and regular way. Oil ceases to flowīelow its pour point temperature when the wax content solidifies.Ī liquid depends upon the internal resistance of the liquid to flow. The distinction between viscosity and pour point should be made clear. It can also be described as a measure of the internal friction of a liquid. As the temperature of the liquid increases its viscosity decreases and therefore Time required for a fixed volume to flow under gravity through a thin tube at a fixed Viscosity is a measure of a liquid’s ability to flow and is usually determined by measuring the In viscosity when shaken or stirred) can be pumped at temperatures well below its pour point, Noted that cargo with thixotropic properties (the properties of showing a temporary reduction The pour point of a liquid is the lowest temperature at which the liquid will flow.

Non-solidifying Substance means a noxious liquid substance, which is not a Solidifying Temperature of less than 5☌ above its melting point at the time of unloading orĢ) In the case of a substances with a melting point of equal to or greater than 15☌ which is atĪ temperature of less than 10☌ above its melting point at the time of unloading. Solidifying Substance means a noxious liquid substance which:ġ) In the case of a substance with a melting point of less than 15☌ which is at a The cargo tank vapours pressure to be monitored carefully in freezing weather conditions to Prewash may be required if discharge temperature as per Annex II cannot be complied with. Solidifying substances discharge temperature to be complied (in consultation with shippers). Not insulatedĬargo lines used for high heat products pose a safety hazard as they may cause severe burnsĪdjacent tanks temperature limitation to be monitored. Products as non-insulated lines and vents may freeze and clog the systems. Caution should be exercised when carrying high heat High heat will also reduce steel strength,Īnd the risk of cracking will increase. Limitation could damage the tanks or their structure. Ship’s structure and equipment normally have limitations on high heat. The ship is trading will need to be heated in order to remain liquid. Products with a freezing point higher than the outside temperature in which Viscosity is instead used as a measurement for the products liquidity or handlingĬharacteristics. Some products, like lube oil additives, vegetable and animal oils, polyoils etc do not have aĭefined freezing point, but rather a freezing (melting) range or none at all. Most liquids have a defined freezing point, sometimes described as the melting point. The true vapour pressure of a liquid is the absolute pressure exerted by the gas produced byĮvaporation from a liquid when gas and liquid are in equilibrium at the prevailing temperature.īoiling Point The temperature at which the vapour pressure of a liquid equals that of theĪtmosphere above its surface this temperature varies with pressure.

The tanksĪnd vent systems are designed to withstand this pressure, plus the hydrostatic pressure of the Pressure equals the atmosphere pressure plus the pressure setting of the P/V valve. In a closed ship tank, however, the liquid will boil when the vapour The liquid will boil when the vapour pressure equals the externalĪtmospheric pressure. Vapour of every liquid exerts a certain vapour pressure at any given temperature called the The maximum vapour concentration is known as: The Minimum vapour concentration is known as: Gas or vapour in air between which ignition can occur. The flammable (explosive limits) are the minimum and maximum concentrations of flammable Requires to be raised to support self combustion.

The auto ignition temperature of a solid, liquid or gas is the lowest temperature at which it Vapour to form a flammable gas mixture with air, near the surface of the liquid. The flash point of a liquid is the lowest temperature at which the liquid will give off sufficient
