1. What is the usual method of recognising that a component is drop forged?

# The dressed centre line
The surface finish
The grain flow
The surface colour
2. How would you describe the manufacturing defect shown at point A?

Gall mark
Lamination
# Gouged or incomplete section
Burnt
3. How would you describe the manufacturing defect shown at point B?

# Gall mark
Lamination
Gouged or incomplete section
Burnt

4%
6%
# 8%
10%

6. If the cross section of an item is not round, what is the maximum permissible wear?
#
10% of the cross sectional area
10% of the maximum thickness dimension
10% of the minimum thickness dimension
10% of the average thickness dimension
7. The cross section of the seat of a foundry hook is 32mm deep x 30mm wide. If all the wear occurs
on the surface of the seat, what is the minimum permissible depth?
29.6mm
29.4mm
# 28.8mm
27.6mm
8. How much increase in throat opening is permitted on a sling hook in service?

0.25%
0.5%
1%
# None
9. What is the effect of a sharp nick in the crown of a masterlink?

# It is a stress raiser
It reduces the permissible wear
It causes wear on the crane hook
No significant effect
10. What is the relevance of stress raisers?

# They eventually lead to cracking
They reduce the SWL of the item
They can injure the slinger's hands
They are not relevant
11. What is the likely effect of exposing alloy steel chain to an acid for a short while?
It will clean the chain and make it bright
# It will cause hydrogen embrittlement
It will eat away the chain
It will increase the strength of the chain
12. What is the purpose of the short flattened area often seen on one side of some links?
To provide a flat area for marking
To identify where the weld is
To prevent coupling components from slipping around the link
# To enable narrow jawed coupling components to be fitted
13. If a round section link has an internal length of 8 times the material diameter, where will the
maximum stress occur?
In the straight sides
At the extremes of the intrados at the ends of the straight sides
# At the extrados on the crown
At the intrados on the crown

14. If a link to BS EN 1677-4 is verified by proof load testing, how much load is applied and how is it
applied?
2.5 x WLL through a test fixture of the same diameter as the material of the link
# 2.5 x WLL through a test fixture supporting up to 70% of the link width
2.0 x WLL through a test fixture of the same diameter as the material of the link
2.0 x WLL through a test fixture supporting up to 70% of the link width
15. Where does the maximum stress occur in the bowl of a hook?
In the seat of the hook
At the back of the hook where the section is thinnest
At the back of the hook where the section is thickest
# At the point on the intrados farthest away from the line of pull
16. If a well designed hook is overloaded to the point of deformation, what should happen?
# As the hook opens, the point of maximum stress will move to a thicker section
The hook will open slowly but continuously giving a warning of failure
The hook will hold the load briefly before failure
The hook will fail
17. When examining links which have been in service, what would cause you to withdraw the link from
further service?
Light surface corrosion
# Wear giving an 8% reduction in diameter
Wear giving a 6% reduction in diameter
Splashes of paint
18. What is one disadvantage of a welded ring compared to a welded link?

Rings are harder to manufacture than links
# A ring can rotate and be loaded across the weld
Sling legs cannot be hooked back into a ring
A ring cannot be used for mechanically assembled slings
