Normally which one will affect the final cargo measurement more when there is a 0.1% variation in their respective reading?
Direct Answer
Option C: Temperature measurement
Temperature variations have a significant impact on cargo volume and density. A 0.1% change in temperature reading can lead to a larger volumetric or mass discrepancy than a similar percentage variation in ullage, density, or water content, due to the thermal expansion properties of liquids.
