Which of the following pressures represents the normal pressure setting of a pressure-vacuum relief valve as normally found on tank vessels?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option A — 16.7 psia - 14.2 psia

Standard pressure settings for cargo tank pressure-vacuum relief valves span from atmospheric pressure up to 2 psig, translating to an absolute pressure range of 14.2 psia to 16.7 psia.
