A pumpman is an unlicensed member of the Deck Department of a merchant ship.〔Military Sealift Command, 2008.〕 Pumpmen are found almost exclusively on tankers, and on oil tankers in particular.〔Pelletier 1995, p. 158.〕 Variations on the title can include chief pumpman, QMED/pumpman, and second pumpman.〔Employment Standards Administration, 2008.〕 A pumpman performs all work necessary for the safe and proper operation of the liquid cargo transfer system.〔 This includes but is not limited to: liquid cargo transfer pumps, liquid cargo stripping pumps, liquid cargo coalesces and separators, strainers, filters, associated piping, valves, fittings, and deck machinery directly related to the transfer of liquid cargo.〔 == Maintenance == The pumpman's job is to keep the liquid cargo system on a tanker running.〔 The liquid cargo system consists of several components. A major component is the pumps themselves, including not only the liquid cargo transfer pumps but also the liquid cargo stripping pumps.〔 Another component consists of the equipment that conditions the cargo, including liquid cargo coalescers and separators, strainers, and filters.〔 The third component consists of all the piping, valves, fittings, and deck machinery directly related to the transfer of liquid cargo.〔 The pumpman's job has three aspects: repairing equipment when it breaks, monitoring equipment to ensure it is working, and maintaining equipment to prevent breakage.〔 Many organizations, such as the United States Navy use planned- and preventive-maintenance systems to guide the pumpman in identifying and scheduling required maintenance actions.〔 Some common activities include rebuilding valves pumps and correcting leaks in the cargo system.〔 Pumpmen also often repack valves and glands.〔 Pumpmen also spend a lot of time lubricating parts, such as glands, bearings and reach rods.〔 On some ships, pumpmen are responsible for the ballast system, room heating systems, and other engine department duties.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pumpman」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
