What is a micrometer used for?

75% Answer Correctly

measuring length around corners

measuring the diameter of cylindrical objects with high precision

transferring dimensions between objects

ensuring that a surface is level


Solution

Micrometers provide accuracy to the thousandths of an inch and come in outside and inside varieties. An outside micrometer is used to measure outside thickness, such as the diameter of a bolt, while an inside micrometer is used to measure the inside dimension of an object, such as the diameter of the hole of a nut or the width of a channel.


2

Which of the following is not a type of nut?

64% Answer Correctly

lock

wing

cotter

slotted


Solution

Wrenches are used with threaded fasteners like bolts and nuts. A bolt has external threads while a nut has internal threads and this thread pattern combination allows them to lock together and act as fasteners. Nuts come in a variety of configurations including wing nuts which provide appendages that allow tightening and loosening by hand, slotted nuts that use a cotter pin to lock the nut in place and prevent it from loosening, and lock nuts that also prevent loosening via nylon in their threads. Threads are identified by pitch which is the number of threads per inch.

The primary difference between a standard level and a bullseye level is which of the following?

54% Answer Correctly

a standard level has only one bubble to center

a standard level can measure across two dimensions

a bullseye level can measure across two dimensions

a bullseye level has only one bubble to center


Solution

Levels utlize a fluid-filled tube containing a bubble that is centered when the surface is horizontal (level) or vertical (plumb) along the direction of the tube. While a standard level can measure along a single dimension, a bullseye level is circular and can indicate the levelness of a two dimensional plane.


5

Which of the following statements about an 8-point saw is not true?

45% Answer Correctly

an 8-point saw has eight teeth per inch

an 8-point saw makes a finer cut than a 12-point saw

an 8-point saw makes a rougher cut than a 6-point saw

an 8-point saw makes a rougher cut than a 12-point saw


Solution

Saw blades are described by the number of teeth per inch (TPI). The higher the TPI of a saw the finer the cut it will make.
