Preview Questions Maintenance Technician | Role Specific Skill

Question 1: When performing preventive maintenance on centrifugal pumps, what is the first task to check in the maintenance procedure?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Verify alignment and condition of the shaft and bearings to avoid misalignment and excess wear

Change the pump seals to prevent leaks during normal operation

Ensure the fluid is clean and there are no contaminants in the pump system

Check the pump's impeller for cleaning and general condition

Question 2: If a compressor in a chemical plant is producing abnormal noise during operation, what is the first thing a Maintenance Technician should check?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Examine the system's pressure and temperature settings

Verify the motor's current draw and electrical health

Inspect the compressor internals for wear, misalignment, or damage

Check the lubrication oil level and quality

Question 3: How can a Maintenance Technician diagnose excessive vibrations in a rotating equipment?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Replace the motor without inspection

Immediately shut down the system and replace all bearings

Check for unbalanced components, misalignment, or bearing wear

Ignore the vibrations as they are normal in industrial settings

Question 4: What is the significance of checking the pressure and temperature readings during troubleshooting?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

They are secondary checks and should only be done if primary troubleshooting fails

Pressure and temperature are irrelevant for troubleshooting complex systems

These readings help identify abnormalities in the system, such as leaks or blockages

They provide only theoretical data and are not used in troubleshooting

Question 5: How can a Maintenance Technician effectively manage spare parts inventory during preventive maintenance to prevent production delays?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By ignoring the inventory needs for preventive maintenance, focusing only on reactive repairs

By aligning inventory management with historical usage and criticality of parts for scheduled tasks

By reducing the number of parts ordered to avoid excess inventory

By ordering all parts in bulk to minimize delays, regardless of need

Question 6: When troubleshooting a malfunctioning automated control system, what is the primary action?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Replace the control system hardware without investigating the cause

Focus only on software issues, ignoring physical wiring or sensors

Check the control inputs, sensors, wiring, and calibration settings to ensure they are correct

Disregard the control system as it is secondary to mechanical failures
