A hydraulic power unit has developed a loud, irregular rattling noise. The reservoir sight glass shows the fluid at the correct level but heavily foamed, and cylinder motion has become spongy and erratic. The suction strainer was replaced three days ago. The MOST likely cause is:
Correct answer: A - Air being drawn into the system on the suction side
A double-acting hydraulic cylinder has a 4-inch bore and a 1.5-inch diameter rod. With 2,000 psi applied to the rod end, the maximum theoretical retract force is approximately:
Correct answer: C - 21,600 lb
In a compressed-air distribution system, branch drops should be connected to the TOP of the main header primarily to:
Correct answer: B - Keep condensate collecting in the header out of the branch line
A repair specification calls for an electrode that is low-hydrogen, usable in all welding positions, and rated at 70,000 psi minimum tensile strength. Which electrode meets ALL three requirements?
Correct answer: C - E7018
A 6,000 lb load is rigged with a two-leg bridle sling, with each leg at 30 degrees to the horizontal. The tension in EACH sling leg is approximately:
Correct answer: C - 6,000 lb
A technician is pressing a new ball bearing onto a rotating shaft, with the outer ring a slip fit in a stationary housing. During installation, the mounting force must be applied to:
Correct answer: D - The inner ring, which carries the interference fit
A maintenance manual lists a dry torque value for a critical fastener. If a technician applies that same torque value after coating the threads with anti-seize, the result will MOST likely be:
Correct answer: B - Excessive bolt tension, because less torque is lost to friction
A technician is regreasing an electric motor equipped with a grease fitting and a drain plug. The correct procedure requires that the drain plug be:
Correct answer: B - Removed before greasing and left open while the motor runs to purge
A rotary gear pump with no relief valve is started with its discharge valve closed. The MOST likely result is:
Correct answer: D - Discharge pressure will rise until something in the system fails
A steam-heated process coil has lost heating capacity, and loud banging is heard in the condensate line when the control valve opens. The steam trap serving the coil has MOST likely:
Correct answer: D - Failed closed, allowing condensate to back up into the coil
