Bulk Liquids & SurgePregunta 16 de 60
When loading a compartmented tank, why must the driver check the weight distribution?
a.To ensure the liquid stays at a constant temperature
b.So no individual axle is overloaded and the vehicle stays balanced
c.To reduce vapor pressure inside the tank
d.To prevent the baffles from cracking
Explicación
Loading too much weight in the front or rear compartments can overload an axle or make the vehicle unstable and hard to handle. The driver should distribute the load so axle weights are legal and the vehicle balances properly. Uneven loading also worsens surge effects.
