Preview Questions Maintenance Technician | Role Specific Skill

Question 1: How can you identify the root cause of an excessive temperature rise in an industrial furnace?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Assume the furnace is operating efficiently and continue monitoring

Ignore temperature fluctuations and continue operation

Adjust the fuel input without checking other parameters

Check for fuel/air ratio imbalances, malfunctioning thermocouples, or inadequate airflow

Question 2: How should a Maintenance Technician handle a situation where a safety device is malfunctioning during maintenance?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Continue work while bypassing the safety device temporarily

Proceed with the maintenance without checking safety features

Skip the repair of the malfunctioning device if the task seems minor

Isolate the affected system, use temporary safety measures, and report the malfunction for immediate repair

Question 3: How does temperature calibration affect the performance of process control systems in chemical plants?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Temperature calibration only matters for high-precision applications, not for general processes

Inaccurate temperature calibration increases downtime but has minimal effect on operations

Temperature calibration is irrelevant to the performance of process control systems

Accurate temperature calibration ensures precise control of chemical reactions and optimal process efficiency

Question 4: What is the first action a Maintenance Technician should take to ensure safety compliance when working with highly toxic substances?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Only check the ventilation system once a leak is suspected

Focus solely on equipment maintenance without considering chemical hazards

Verify the proper containment systems are in place, and that all PPE is worn

Start work immediately, as the toxic substances are contained

Question 5: During machinery installation in a chemical facility, what should be done to ensure that new equipment can handle the operational load?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Perform load testing and verify equipment specifications against operational demands

Begin operation immediately without testing for load tolerance

Verify only the manufacturer's recommended capacity and assume no need for further checks

Ignore load testing and focus solely on mechanical installation

Question 6: What is the most common cause of inaccurate temperature readings in a temperature sensor after calibration?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Incorrect programming of the sensor's range settings

A mismatch in the temperature coefficient of the sensor

Contamination or damage to the sensor or wiring

The use of incorrect calibration equipment
