    Under current UK legislation, the maximum period between examinations of lifting equipment (other than accessories) when another written scheme is not in place is?

    • 12 months

    • 6 months

    • Monthly

    • Before each use

    Correct Answer
    A. 12 months
    Explanation
    Under current UK legislation, the maximum period between examinations of lifting equipment (other than accessories) when another written scheme is not in place is 12 months. This means that according to the law, lifting equipment should be examined at least once every 12 months to ensure its safety and compliance. Failure to adhere to this requirement may result in legal consequences and potential hazards in the workplace.

    An eyebolt with link to BS 4278 can be used at the load stated up to a specific angle from the axis of the shank. The specified angle is?

    • 15°

    • 20°

    • 25°

    • 70°

    Correct Answer
    A. 15°
    Explanation
    According to BS 4278, an eyebolt can be used at the load stated up to a specific angle from the axis of the shank. The correct answer is 15°, which means that the eyebolt can be used at the stated load as long as the angle from the axis of the shank does not exceed 15°.

    The most common hardness test used for lifting equipment is called what?

    • Rockwell

    • Brinell

    • Isombard

    • Vickers

    Correct Answer
    A. Brinell
    Explanation
    The Brinell hardness test is commonly used for lifting equipment because it provides a reliable measurement of the material's hardness. This test involves indenting the surface of the material with a hard steel ball and measuring the diameter of the resulting impression. The Brinell hardness number is then calculated based on the applied load and the size of the impression. This test is suitable for lifting equipment as it can determine the material's ability to withstand heavy loads and resist deformation, ensuring the safety and durability of the equipment.

    In a roundsling, the load should be carried by?

    • The outer cover

    • The core

    • Shared between the cover and the core

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. The core
    Explanation
    In a roundsling, the load should be carried by the core. The core of a roundsling is the inner part that provides the strength and support to lift and carry the load. The outer cover is mainly responsible for protecting the core from damage and providing additional durability. However, the core is the main component that bears the weight of the load, making it the correct answer.

    Fine Tolerance Chain is intended for use in which application?

    • Load chain for a lifting device

    • Chain sling

    • Load chain or chain sling

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Load chain for a lifting device
    Explanation
    The Fine Tolerance Chain is specifically designed for use in a load chain for a lifting device. It is not intended for use in a chain sling or any other application. Therefore, the correct answer is Load chain for a lifting device.

    The API (American Petroleum Institute) recommended practice for offshore pedestal crane operation, inspection and rigging is called what?

    • API RP 2D

    • API RP 8B

    • API RP 9A

    • API RP 4A

    Correct Answer
    A. API RP 2D
    Explanation
    The correct answer is API RP 2D. The API recommended practice for offshore pedestal crane operation, inspection, and rigging is known as API RP 2D. This standard provides guidelines and best practices for the safe and efficient operation of offshore cranes, ensuring compliance with industry standards and regulations. It covers various aspects such as crane design, inspection procedures, maintenance, and personnel training requirements to ensure the safe handling of loads on offshore platforms.

    According to BS EN 818 what is the Factor Of Safety given currently to wire rope?

    • 2:1

    • 4:1

    • 5:1

    • 7:1

    Correct Answer
    A. 4:1
    Explanation
    According to BS EN 818, the current Factor of Safety given to wire rope is 4:1. This means that the breaking strength of the wire rope is four times higher than the maximum working load it is subjected to. A higher factor of safety provides a greater margin of safety and reduces the risk of failure or accidents.

    An izod test is to determine what attribute in a given material?

    • Toughness

    • Ductility

    • Tensile strength

    • Plasticity

    Correct Answer
    A. Toughness
    Explanation
    The izod test is used to determine the toughness of a given material. Toughness is a measure of a material's ability to absorb energy and deform without fracturing. It is an important property in engineering applications as it indicates the material's resistance to impact and sudden loading. The izod test involves striking a notched specimen with a pendulum and measuring the energy absorbed during fracture. Therefore, toughness is the attribute that the izod test is specifically designed to determine.

    Which NDT method uses electromagnetic induction to find defects in a given material?

    • Eddy Current Method

    • Magnetic Particle Method

    • Dye Penetrant Method

    • Radiographic Method

    Correct Answer
    A. Eddy Current Method
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Eddy Current Method. This method uses electromagnetic induction to find defects in a given material. Eddy currents are induced in the material by an alternating magnetic field, and any defects or changes in the material will cause variations in the eddy currents, which can be detected and analyzed to identify the defects. This method is commonly used for nondestructive testing of conductive materials to detect surface and near-surface defects.

    The WLL of a multi-legged sling is rated with a maximum load for use at?

    • Only at 90°

    • Only at 120°

    • Only at 0°

    • At any angle the user requires within the permitted range

    Correct Answer
    A. At any angle the user requires within the permitted range
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "At any angle the user requires within the permitted range." This means that the Working Load Limit (WLL) of a multi-legged sling can be used at any angle that the user requires, as long as it falls within the permitted range. This allows for flexibility in lifting and securing loads, as the sling can be adjusted to different angles depending on the specific needs of the user.

    The forging process of increasing sectional thickness is called what?

    • Upsetting

    • Swaging

    • Fullering

    • Compounding

    Correct Answer
    A. Upsetting
    Explanation
    Upsetting is the correct answer because it refers to the process of increasing the sectional thickness of a metal by compressing it in a direction perpendicular to its original length. This is typically done by striking the metal with a hammer or applying pressure to it. Swaging, fullering, and compounding are not specifically related to increasing sectional thickness in the forging process.

    If a wire rope is designated 6x19 what is the strand construction most likely to be?

    • Warrington

    • Filler

    • Seale

    • Combined Parallel Lay

    Correct Answer
    A. Seale
    Explanation
    The most likely strand construction for a wire rope designated 6x19 is Seale. Seale refers to a type of wire rope construction where there are six strands, each consisting of 19 wires. This construction provides flexibility and strength to the wire rope, making it suitable for various applications.

    In wire rope, the purpose of a 'filler wire' is to do what?

    • To strengthen the rope

    • To keep the rope from unwinding when under load

    • To increase flexibility

    • To keep other wires in the strand in place

    Correct Answer
    A. To keep other wires in the strand in place
    Explanation
    The filler wire in a wire rope is used to keep the other wires in the strand in place. It fills the gaps between the main wires, preventing them from moving and maintaining the structural integrity of the rope. Without the filler wire, the individual wires in the strand may separate and cause the rope to lose its strength and durability.
