UPMRC Fitter Maintainer (Civil) Paper with solution -2021

Ques.11. Which of the following is NOT considered as a lathe specification?

  1. Length of the bed
  2. Distance between the centers
  3. Maximum bar diameter
  4. Weight of the machine

Answer.4. Weight of the machine

The specifications for the size of a lathe include the following items:

1. Bed length:-  Bed length, or working distance between centers, is a fairly straightforward specification. It basically defines the distance between the headstock center and the tailstock center. Note that some lathe manufacturers offer extensions for their beds.

2. The length between centers corresponds to the maximum length of work that can be mounted between lathe centers.

3. The maximum bar diameter. This is the maximum diameter of bar stock (metal bars) that will pass through the hole in the headstock spindle.

 

Ques.12. Which of the following is NOT a plumbing tool?

  1. Elbow
  2. Pipe vice
  3. Pipe wrench
  4. Pipe die

Answer.1. Elbow

Explanation

A vice is used for gripping and holding a workpiece in position for carrying out on its various bench working operations.

Fitter Vice include

  1. Pipe vice
  2. Leg vice
  3. Pin vice
  4. Bench Vice
  5. Hand Vice

Hence Elbow is not a plumbing tool.

 

Ques.13. What is the allowable maximum pressure (in gauge) for acetylene gas cylinders in accordance with OSHA standards?

  1. 20 Psi
  2. 15 Psi
  3. 30 Psi
  4. 25 Psi

Answer.2. 15 Psi

Explanation:-

Acetylene is a flammable, colorless gas with a distinctive odor that is easily detected, even when strongly diluted with air.

Under low pressure .at normal temperature, when free from air, acetylene is a stable compound; however, when it is compressed in an empty container to a pressure greater than 15 psi [103 kPa], it becomes unstable. At 29.4 psi [202.74 kPa] pressure it becomes self-explosive, and only a slight shock is required to cause it to explode even when it is not mixed with air or oxygen. As a general rule. the technician should never allow the acetylene pressure in the welding system to exceed 15 psi [103 kPal].

 

Ques.14. Which of the following is the correct relation for selecting tap drill size?

D = diameter of the drilled hole, T = outer diameter of tap, d = depth of thread

  1. D = T  − 2d
  2. D = T + 2d
  3. D = T
  4. D = T + d

Answer.1. D = T  − 2d

Explanation:-

Tapping is the operation of cutting internal threads by means of a cutting tool called a tap. When the tap is screwed into the hole it removes metal and cuts internal threads which will fit into external threads of the same size.

Tap drill size

For tapping purpose, the hole size to be made through drilling has to be smaller than the tap size. The size of the drill is calculated by using following equation : D = T – 2d

 Where, D = Size of the drill (diameter),

 T = Diameter of the tap

 

Ques.15. Which of the following is correct about oxy-acetylene gas cutting?

  1. Gas cutting torch and gas welding torch are identical.
  2. Gas cutting torch consists of one more hole which carries acetylene for cutting action.
  3. Gas welding torch consists of one more hole which carries the mixture of oxygen and acetylene for cutting action.
  4. Gas cutting torch consists of one more hole which carries the pure oxygen for cutting action

Answer.3. Gas welding torch consists of one more hole which carries the mixture of oxygen and acetylene for cutting action.

Explanation:-

Oxyacetylene Welding Equipment:

Following equipment are used in oxyacetylene welding

Gas cylinders: Two gas cylinders made of steel are used. One is of black color used for oxygen and the other is of maroon or red color used for acetylene.

Pressure gages: Each cylinder consists of two pressure gauges. One pressure gauge shows the pressure of the gas inside the cylinder and the other shows the pressure of gas supplied to the blowpipe.

Pressure regulator: Each cylinder is provided a pressure regulator. The function of the pressure regulator is to control the pressure of the gas supply to blowpipe or to maintain the constant pressure of the gas.

Blowpipe or welding torch: The high-pressure blowpipe consists of two passages: one is for oxygen and the other is for acetylene. Both the gases are mixed in a chamber and then driven out through the orifice of the blowpipe nozzle with the desired velocity. These nozzles are usually known as tips and are made interchangeable so that the same blowpipe can be used for different sizes of tips.

Note: Acetylene cannot be filled alone in a cylinder due to dissociation at high pressure so it is mixed with a small amount of acetone.

 

Ques.16. What is the use of pipe die?

  1. To cut the pipe in two parts
  2. To turn the die
  3. To cut an external thread on a pipe
  4. To rotate the pipe

Answer.3. To cut an external thread on a pipe

Explanation:-

Pipe Dies:- Dies are used for cutting external threads on circular sections of metal, plastic rod, and pipe. Dies are available in a number of different forms and are held in ‘stocks’ so that they can be rotated around the rod or pipe. The split allows for adjustments to be made to the size or depth of the thread being cut.

 

Ques.17. A hole of 1 cm diameter is to be drilled on a mild steel plate. What will be the spindle speed (in RPM) when the cutting speed is 22 m per minute?

  1. 600
  2. 70
  3. 7000
  4. 700

Answer.4. 700

Explanation:-

The cutting speed is given as

vc = (π × DC × n)/1000 

Where

DC = Drill Diameter = 1 cm = 10mm

vc = cutting speed =22 per minute

n = Main Axis Spindle Speed 

22 = (3.14 × 10 × n)/1000

n = 22,000/31.4

n = 700.63

n ≅ 700

 

Ques.19. Dial vernier caliper is

  1. An instrument to measure the temperature of gas.
  2. An instrument to measure the pressure of gas.
  3. A modern instrument that incorporated all features of the micrometer.
  4. A modern instrument that incorporated all features of the vernier caliper.

Answer.4. A modern instrument that incorporated all features of the vernier caliper

Vernier Calipers used for measuring outside dimensions, inside dimensions, and depth measurements, all in one tool. They have a graduated bar with markings like a ruler.

Dial vernier caliper

A dial vernier caliper looks much like a standard vernier caliper and is also graduated in thousandths (0.001) of an inch. The main difference is that instead of a double scale, as on the vernier caliper, the dial vernier has the inches marked only along the main body of the caliper and a dial that indicates thousandths (0.001) of an inch. The range of the dial vernier caliper is usually 6 inches.

Ques.20. Which of the following is NOT a pipe fitting?

  1. Tap
  2. Elbow
  3. Tee
  4. Reducer

Answer.1. Tap

Explanation

The Fitting system type is assigned to connectors used in Pipe Fitting Families, such as tees and elbows. These types of connectors will inherit the flow, direction, and system characteristics of the components they connect to.

Many of the pipe fittings used in hydronic systems are the same as used in domestic water supply systems. They include:

  • Couplings: (standard and reducing):
  • Elbows: (90° and 45°);
  • Street elbows: (90° and 45°);
  • Tees: (standard and reducing);
  • Threaded adapters: (male and female);
  • Unions
