Floor ( eng. Floor ) - in shipbuilding, transverse steel bottom beams or sheets in a set, as well as transverse steel beams or sheets in tanks in a set of the ship's hull, the frames from which are extended from the zygomatic part to the upper deck.
Species of Floors
- Waterproof flora or continuous deaf flora ( English watertight floor );
- solid flora with cutouts ( English solid floor );
- Bracket Flora or Lite Flora, or Open Flora ( English bracket floor ).
On large vessels, as a rule, cutouts in the bottom floras make the distance from the cutout to the bottom is 25 centimeters and the distance from the cutout to the deck of the hold is also 25 centimeters. Given that the height of a conventional tank between the bottom and deck is 96-100 cm, we can say that the height of the cutout of the flora is approximately 48 centimeters. The cutout in the flora can be round or oval. An oval cutout about 48 centimeters high (longer than the length) allows an incomplete person to crawl through to inspect tanks and other compartments.
Flora can be not only bottom. So, on the bulk carriers in the upper tanks, there are also flora; there are flora in the forepeaks and afterpeaks along the entire height of the tank. For free flow of water and liquid bulk cargo, as well as for the release of air in the lower and upper extremities of the flora, special cut-outs are made - cabbage rolls [1] .
