Missing, corroded, damaged, dirty tools or FOD
What should you do with your toolbox when it is not in use? Why?
Locked and secured to a fixed object. This way neither the toolbox nor any of its contents can be stolen
What can you use when your toolbox isn’t located within an arms reach?
A toobag
How is the torque value of a wrench expressed?
Inch lbs or Foot lbs
What is the most common type of torque wrench used in the AF?
Breakaway
How do you reduce the torque setting on a torque wrench?
Turn the grip counter clockwise
If you drop a torque wrench, what action must you take?
Re-calibrate with a torque wrench tester
If a bolt or nut cant be tightened to a convenient locking position without exceeding the max. torque value, what should your do?
Replace the bolt or nut
What formula do you use to determine the correct torque setting for the torque handle?
S= TxLa/(La+Ea) Where S= handle setting T= torque applied at the end of adapter La= Length of handle in inches Ea= Length of extension in inches
For what purposes should you use a thickness gauge?
Measuring Clearance between two surfaces
When using the thickness gauge to check the gap between two surfaces what important point regarding accuracy should you always remember?
The accuracy of the gauge will depend on one’s ability to determine by feel when there is the correct tension or pressure on the blades
What are the parts of an outside micrometer?
Frame, anvil, spindle, barrel, lock, vernier scale, and thimble
What are the tree basic types of micrometers and their purposes?
Outside micrometers - measure outside diameters
Inside Micrometers, to measure inside dimensions
Depth Micrometer- Measures depth of holes or recesses
What is the longest calibrated movement possible between the spindle and anvil of a six-inch outside micrometer; and what is this movement called?
1in; the range
List four of the precautions you should take when using a micrometer
Do not close micrometers too tightly on the work; never swing it back-and-forth by the thimble; always hold the frame stationary and adjust the tool by turning the sleeve; before use clean the micrometer and the surface being measured; do not handle large micrometers roughly; and during cold-weather use a cloth to prevent heat transfer between your body and the micrometer
Which other measuring tool can you use while practicing with the micrometer to aid you in becoming proficient in using the micrometer?
The feeler gauge
How many revolutions would you have to turn the thimble of a micrometer to read .025 of an inch?
1
Which part of the micrometer has graduations that represent tenths of an inch?
The revolution line of the barrel
What measurement does the vernier scale on the micrometer provide?
Ten thousandths
What type of device is a dial indicator?
A mechanical motion amplifying device
What feature is common to all dial indicators?
The ability to greatly amplify movement
