Performance Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria on at least one occasion and include: calculating: area and circumference of a circle consumption of fuel and lubricating oil for a particular voyage, using quantity in litres and mass in tonnes and specified regular shaped tanks distances covered hourly fuel and lubricating oil consumption mechanical advantage, load, force and moments remaining steaming times and engine performance specific fuel consumption, power, speed and range stress, strain and safe working load (SWL) tank capacities and pumping capacities for tank filling and emptying velocity ratio and efficiency of simple machines volume and capacity of regular shaped tanks calculations fuel consumption and storage: using calibration tables to measure quantities in tanks using relative density/specific gravity to convert quantity in litres and volume to mass converting: fractions to decimals units to multiples of base units.
