Deck General USCG Q#1371 (Set 43)

What is acceptable flame screening?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option D — A fitted stainless steel screen of 30 x 30 mesh

USCG regulations specify that flame screens must be corrosion-resistant and have a minimum mesh size to effectively quench flames. A 30x30 mesh stainless steel screen provides the necessary surface area and heat dissipation properties to prevent flame passage while maintaining adequate venting capacity for the tank.
