AN EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF THE DISPERSION OF HYDROCARBON GAS DURING THE LOADING OF TANKERS

The International Oil Tanker and Terminal Safety Guide, compiled and published by the I.O.T.T.S.G., is based on data supplied by Group participants or derived from wind-tunnel experiments with models (carried out for the Group by Thermotank Ltd).
