External design pressure loads can be based on the difference between the

✓

Direct Answer

Option B: minimum internal pressure and the maximum external pressure to which any portion of the tank

External design pressure loads are calculated based on the differential between the minimum internal pressure and the maximum external pressure acting on any portion of the tank. This ensures the containment system can withstand vacuum conditions or external hydrostatic pressure without buckling or suffering structural deformation.

All Options

No need to consider any pressure while designing

minimum internal pressure and the maximum external pressure to which any portion of the tank (Correct Answer)

inside temperature and outside temperature

none of the above

Detailed Explanation & Context

Relevant Framework: STCW 2010 Manila Amendments • DG Shipping E-Learning & Exit Exam Standards • Advanced Training for Ships subject to the IGF Code (AIGF).
