MT101 Principal dimensions and structural parts Flashcards
is the length of a ship along the waterline from the forward surface of the stem, or main bow perpendicular member, to the after surface of the stern post, or main stern perpendicular member
Length between perpendiculars
is a vertical line extending from the point at which the stem of the vessel is intersected by the design load waterline on the profile view.
forward perpendicular
has been located to the outside plate or forward side of the stem
forward perpendicular
is the line perpendicular to the constructed waterline and the rudder post
Aft Perpendicular
is the length measured at the existing waterline from forward to aft end of the ship. It varies with the draft of the ship
waterline length (originally Load Waterline Length, abbreviated to LWL)
is the length measured between the extreme ends of the ship from forward to aft
Length over all
A middle parts of the ship
MIDSHIP
is a vertical line passing through the mid point of the LBP
MIDSHIP or AMIDSHIPS
is the distance taken at midship of vessel from port to starboard ( right to left).
Beam ( Breadth)
is the vertical distance from deck to waterline
Freeboard
is measured at the middle of the length, from the top of the keel to the top of the deck beam at the side of the uppermost continuous deck
Depth
is the vertical distance measured along the ship sides from the bottom of the keel to the waterline
Draft
outward curvature of a ships hull surface above the waterline
flare
is the narrowing of a ship’s hull with greater distance above the water-line.
Tumblehome
it is present when the beam at the uppermost deck is less than the maximum beam of the vessel
Tumblehome
is a measure of lateral main deck curvature in naval architecture.The curve is applied to a deck transversely, measured as the height of deck at centerline above the height of deck at side
Camber
is measured from the base line to the heel of the upper deck beam at the ship’s side amidships
Depth moulded
is measured at the midship section is the maximum moulded breadth of the ship
Breadth moulded
is taken from the lowest point of the keel to the summer load line.
Extreme draft
represents extreme draft
Draft marks
is the rise of the bottom shell plating above the baseline , this rise is measured at the line of the moulded beam
Rise of floor or Dead rise
is a horizontal line drawn at the top of the keel plate.All vertical moulded dimensions are measured relative to this line.
Base line
is a curvature of decks in the longitudinal direction.measured as the height of deck at side at any point above the height of deck at side amidships
sheer
is the section of the hull where the mid-ship cross section remains the same over a number of stations
Parallel Middle Body
