“7.2 Measurements and Sampling –7.2.1 General” of ISGOTT states the following about the method of working in 5) above:
Personnel should therefore keep their heads well away from the issuing gas and stand at right angles to the direction of the wind. Standing immediately
upwind of the ullage port might create a back eddy of vapour towards the operator. In addition, depending on the nature of the cargo being handled,
consideration may have to be given to the use of appropriate respiratory protective equipment.
The viscosity of cargo increases as the temperature of cargo become low. The viscosity of cargo decreases as the temperature of oil become high. Thus,
the viscosity at a specific instant of time shall be estimated based on the Viscosity –Temperature Conversion Table of Fig. S-3-1. Generally, kinematic
viscosity is used to express the viscosity of oil. Its units are centistokes (cSt).
(1 cSt = 10-6m2/S = 1 mm2/S)

Run Residue
* West African cargo Manji cannot be loaded for Japan or South Korea in winter this cargo would be of high viscosity.
* Since Oman Strait Run Residue has high viscosity, it is generally mixed with Oman Export Blend and Loaded.
Pour Point is the temperature obtained by adding 2.5°C to the temperature at which a preheated specimen stops moving for a prescribed time after it
has been cooled by a prescribed method.
2) Cargo should be continuously heated during COW for stripping the tank.
Some types of oil were listed up as unsuitable for COW in a part of the H.P.P. cargo initially when the MARPOL Convention came into effect, but
presently no such unsuitable oils exist. (COW is generally implemented even if high pour point cargo is carried and its effects have been
confirmed.)
