Preview Questions Maintenance Technician | Role Specific Skill

Question 1: When installing pumps in a piping system, what should be checked to prevent excessive wear and failure?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Installing the pump without checking the motor's load capacity

Ignoring alignment to save installation time

Proper alignment, ensuring adequate support, and checking for correct direction of rotation

Using generic seals and gaskets without verifying compatibility with pump fluid

Question 2: In the installation of safety equipment, what is the most important safety compliance measure to consider?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Ensuring that safety equipment is installed according to regulatory standards and verified post-installation

Ignoring manufacturer guidelines as long as the equipment works after installation

Installing the equipment as quickly as possible without testing for compliance

Using outdated safety equipment as long as it meets basic functionality

Question 3: In a confined space entry situation, what is required to ensure safety compliance?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Only relying on the presence of a supervisor for safety assurance

Continuous air quality monitoring and ensuring that rescue plans are in place before entering

Entering the space with minimal equipment if the task is expected to be quick

Avoiding safety checks as long as the space has been previously cleared

Question 4: What is the recommended procedure for calibrating a control loop in a chemical plant's process control system?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Verify only the sensor's output without testing the controller's performance

Simulate process conditions and adjust setpoints until the system responds within acceptable tolerances

Only adjust the control valve's position based on feedback from the sensor

Perform calibration during a scheduled shutdown, ignoring real-time feedback

Question 5: In a centrifugal pump, if the discharge pressure is low but the pump is operating at the correct speed, what is the most likely cause of the issue?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Excessive bearing wear causing friction

Misalignment of the pump shaft

A clogged impeller or suction line restriction

Low voltage supply to the pump motor

Question 6: In troubleshooting a hydraulic pump, what would you check if the system is not reaching the expected pressure?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Let the system operate for a few hours to observe any changes

Assume the hydraulic fluid is contaminated and replace it immediately

Focus solely on the pressure gauge reading without inspecting the system

Inspect for air in the hydraulic lines, low fluid levels, or a malfunctioning pump relief valve
