(813) The gaseous oxygen (GOX) cart pressure gauge must be replaced if it varies from the aircraft gauge by more than what amount?
- A.
±2 psig.
- B.
±4 psig.
- C.
±8 psig.
- D.
±10 psig.
Correct Answer
D. ±10 psig.Explanation
The correct answer is ±10 psig. This means that if the pressure gauge on the gaseous oxygen (GOX) cart varies from the aircraft gauge by more than 10 pounds per square inch (psig), it must be replaced. This is important because a significant difference in pressure readings could indicate a malfunction or potential danger in the oxygen system.Rate this question:

(813) What is the maximum pressure of compressed air used for cleaning?
- A.
20 psi.
- B.
30 psi.
- C.
40 psi.
- D.
50 psi.
Correct Answer
B. 30 psi.Explanation
The maximum pressure of compressed air used for cleaning is 30 psi. This pressure is sufficient to effectively clean surfaces without causing damage or injury. Higher pressures can be dangerous and may cause harm to the user or the equipment being cleaned. Lower pressures may not provide enough force to remove dirt and debris effectively. Therefore, 30 psi is the recommended maximum pressure for compressed air cleaning.Rate this question:

(814) What is the service test pressure for a low-pressure gaseous oxygen system leak test?
- A.
300 to 325 psi.
- B.
350 to 375 psi.
- C.
425 to 450 psi.
- D.
475 to 500 psi.
Correct Answer
C. 425 to 450 psi.Explanation
The correct answer is 425 to 450 psi. This is the service test pressure for a low-pressure gaseous oxygen system leak test. This pressure range is necessary to ensure that the system is able to withstand the pressure it will experience during normal operation without any leaks. It is important to test the system at this pressure to ensure its safety and reliability.Rate this question:
