Preview Questions Maintenance Technician | Role Specific Skill

Question 1: During machinery installation in a chemical plant, what should be the first step in ensuring proper alignment of rotating equipment?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Visually inspect alignment without using measuring instruments

Use only feeler gauges to measure gaps and distances between components

Use precision alignment tools, such as dial indicators or laser alignment systems, to check shaft alignment

Adjust the motor's position until it appears visually aligned

Question 2: 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

Adjust the fuel input without checking other parameters

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

Ignore temperature fluctuations and continue operation

Question 3: What is the most critical factor to check when performing preventive maintenance on pressure safety valves in a chemical plant?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

The valve's set pressure and seal integrity to ensure it can open correctly at the designated pressure

The external appearance of the valve and its surrounding piping

The ease of manual operation and inspection intervals only

The total time the valve has been in operation without considering pressure settings

Question 4: What does safety compliance require when conducting pressure testing on vessels and piping?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Using the highest pressure allowed to test the vessel's capacity

Relying solely on visual inspections without pressure measurements

Ignoring safety zones around the equipment to expedite testing

Verifying the integrity of the vessel, ensuring no personnel are in the danger zone, and following regulatory guidelines

Question 5: What is the first step when conducting a risk assessment for a high-pressure system maintenance?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Assume the system is safe and proceed without risk assessment

Identify hazards, assess the potential risks, and implement control measures to ensure safety

Skip the assessment and rely on previous maintenance records

Focus only on the technical aspects of the system and ignore safety risks

Question 6: How should hazardous gas detection equipment be used to ensure safety compliance during maintenance activities?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Only check the gas detector's battery life without calibration

Ignore calibration if the gas detectors are already in use

Use the equipment only if a gas leak is suspected

Test the air quality and calibrate the gas detectors before entering the work area
