A cargo oil valve is a specialized valve used in the oil transport industry, particularly in marine settings. It is designed to control the flow of oil cargo within storage tanks and piping systems on ships. The functionality of the cargo oil valve is crucial for ensuring safe loading, unloading, and transporting of oil, as it prevents leaks and regulates pressure.
Frequency of Use: The term is commonly used in technical and industrial contexts, particularly among professionals in shipping, marine engineering, and oil transportation. It is more frequently encountered in written contexts, such as manuals, technical specifications, and industry regulations.

The word oil is derived from the Latin word oleum, meaning grease or oil. The term valve comes from the Latin word valva, meaning a folding door or a leaf of a door, which later evolved to mean a device that regulates flow in a passage.
