20%
33
What is the S.W.L of a 1/2" wire rope?
S.W.L = safe working load=breaking strength Formula = S.W.L = d^2 x 8 =0.5 x 0.5 x 8 = 2 tons
34
What is a snatch block used for?
NOT used for lifting. It is used to change the direction of pull on a load line and to gain mechanical advantage.
35
when dealing with wire rope. 1.What is left/right lay? 2. what is regular/lang lay?
Left lay or right lay refers to the direction of the strands. In a regular lay rope, the wires in the strands are laid in the opposite direction as the strands in the rope. In a lang lay rope, the wires in the strands are laid in the same direction as the strands in the rope.
36
Examples of fiber rope, Natural vs synthetic?
Natural - Manila, hemp, cotton Synthetic - polyproline nylon
37
S.W.L of 1" wire rope with an eye made with crosby clips
S.W.L = safe working load=breaking strength Formula = S.W.L = d^2 x 8 =1.0 x 1.0 x 8 = 8 tons 8 tons x 20% deficiency 8.0 x 0.80 = 6.4 tons
38
safety factor when lifting people
10:1 ratio
39
S.W.L of 1/2" rope when lifting personnel?
S.W.L = safe working load=breaking strength Formula = S.W.L = d^2 x 8 =0.5 x 0.5 x 8 = 2 tons safety factor when lifting people 10:1 =2 ton / 10 = 0.2 tons = 400lbs
40
What knot to use when joining two ropes of the same diameter
reef knot.
41
When lifting a load what happens to the the stress on a sling as you decrease its angle from vertical?
As the angle gets less the stress in each leg will increase. As you go from vertical to more horizontal the stress on the strap increases and as a result the lifting potential of the strap decreases.
42
What type of knot provides a non slip loop what is used for hoisting
bowline knot
43
What is a sheet bend used for?
Joining 2 ropes of different diameter
44
what is a spreader bar used for
used to suppport/lift long loads. keeps the lift horizontal
45
by how much % does a choker hitch reduce the lifting capacity
30%
46
Name the3 most common sling configuration
single vertical hitch Choker hitch Basket hitch
47
What is the recommended sling angle? what is the critical angle?
Recc- 45% Critical - 30%
48
what is the minimum thickness of a scaffold plank and what is the most common wood used?
2"x10" is minimum Fir wood is first choice
49
What is the safety factor for a sling
5:1
50
How many Crosby clips are used on a 3/4" wire rope
4 clips 1/8-7/16 =2 1/2-5/8 = 3 3/4-1 =4
51
how far apart should crosby clips be spaced?
6 x dia of rope
52
in hoisting and rigging what are thimbles used for?
protects the eye of a sling from abrasion and rubbing
53
hand signal for stop
arms crossing and moving out horizontally
54
hand signal for travel
move arms in circular motion around each other in front of body
55
hand signal for raise load
one hand, index finger pointing up, move in circular motion
56
using a block and tackle that has a mechanical advantage of 10, to lift 5 tons. what is the pull on the lead line?
5 ton = 10000 lbs 10000/10(M.A) =1000lbs a.k.a 1/2 tons
57
what is the purpose of a tagline
control/guide the load from a safe distance. keep the load straight or turn it.
58
6 foot prybar had a 2" long toe. what is the weight of load you can lift if you exert 150 lbs on the end of the prybar?
6 foot = 72" 72" x 150 lbs = 2" x load weight load weight = (72x150)/2 load weight = 5400lbs
59
what are the two major stresses a shaft is subjected to
twisting - the shafts resistance to turning bending - caused by the weight of the shaft to sag between bearing support OR a sidways pull on a shaft
60
Why do pump/drive shafts often have a center drill hole on the end of the shaft?
for mounting on a lathe to check for shaft deformation
61
how much will a 10 foot shaft expand when there is a temp rise of 50deg. the material has a coefficient of expansion of 0.000006.
C.O.E x length x deltaT 0.000006 x 120" x 50deg =0.036"
62
what are keys used for on a shaft
provide positive drive with no slippage
63
2 basic style of keys
rectangle and woodruff
64
what is a parallel key?
a square key - all sides are even
65
what is a pratt and whitney key
a boxed/square key that has both ends rounded
66
what is a taper key
bottom and sides are square, top edge is tapered so it wedges in and is self holding
67
what is a gib key
like a rectangular key but one end has a raised square of material for easy for removal
68
what si the taper of a taper key
1/8" per 12" 1:96
69
what is a feather key?
key with counter bored holes drilled in to screw/mount the key to the shaft
70
what is a saddle key
the key rides on top of the shaft, bottom of the key is ground concave so it sit in position
71
when would you use a step key
when the hub and the shaft are differently sized
72
how many set screws and at what position should they be placed on a shaft
2 set screws 90deg apart
73
What does a key number 608 designate
6 - width of key in 32nd - 6/32 = 3/16th 08 - length of key in 8ths - 8/8 = 1inch so woodruff is 3/16th wide and 1 inch long
74
What does a key number 1212 designate
12 - width of key in 32nd - 12/32 = 3/8th 12 - length of key in 8ths - 12/8 = 1 1/2inch so woodruff is 3/8th wide and 1.5 inch long
75
clearance fit vs interference fit
clearance - When the dia. of the hub is larger than the shaft. no force is required to put parts together interference - when the hub is the same size or smaller than the shaft to external force is required to put parts together
76
what are 4 methods for shrink fitting. to install a interference fit assembly
Oven, induction heater, oil bath, oxyacetylene dry ice, freezer, CO2, liquid nitrogen
77
what is ambient temperature
the surrounding air temperature
78
room has ambient temp of 70 deg. how much will a steel shaft with a 3" bore expand when heated to 480 deg. C.O.E of steel = 0.00000633
c.o.e x length x deltaT 0.00000633 x 3" x (480-70) =0.0073"
79
why do induced draft fans require much more maintenance than other fans?
the fan is subject to more exhaust gas/material/dust moving across/over the fan. as these contaminants build up they lead to imbalance and damage.
