°
F (-

°
C) for 30 seconds.
Center of Buoyancy (B)
- The center of buoyancy is the geometric centroid of the
submerged volume of the vessel; the total of all buoyant forces acting upon the vessel
may be considered to be concentrated here and acting upward thru it. The position of B
varies with vessel draft, trim, and heel.
Center of Gravity (G or cg)
- The point thru which all the weights constituting the
vessel and its contents may be assumed to act; the weight of the vessel and its contents
may be considered to be concentrated here with the total of gravitational forces acting
downward thru it. The position of G varies with vessel loading.
Check Valve –
an inline flow control device with a built-in ‘poppet’ to restrict or stop
flow in one direction. When a fluid freely passes through the check valve, this is termed
‘free flow’. When the fluid flow reverses, the poppet is pushed into its seat, blocking or
‘checking’ the fluid flow in the reverse direction.
Circuit –
An electric circuit is the path of an electric current. A closed circuit has a
complete path. An open circuit has a broken or disconnected path.
Coaming
- Raised edge around hatches to keep water out.
