Name: CORRECTED Student number: 13657

Each question has several answers, only one of which is correct. Select your answer by typing # in
the box.

When complete, save the file using the same name. Then use the upload facility to return it for
marking.

1. One of the main objections to the use of wrought iron chain was:
  It had low tensile strength
  It had poor ductility
# It work hardened in service
  It corroded quickly

2. Grade 40 chain was known by this name because:


  The breaking load of a standard 1 dia link is 40 times the material UTS
# The breaking load of a standard 1 dia link is 40 tons
  The proof load of a standard 1 diameter link is 40 tons
  The safe working load of a standard 1 diameter link is 40 tons

3. The grade of a chain with a proof load of 24d² would be:


  Grade 40
# Grade 60
  Grade 80
  Grade 100

4. Correct identification of the grade is important to the tester and examiner as it tells him:
# The material and heat treatment used
  The Ultimate Tensile Strength of the material
  The size of the material used
  Who the manufacturer is

5. The equivalent letter grade mark for a grade 80 chain is:


  M
  S
# T
  V

6. What is the factor of safety of lifting chain manufactured to BS EN 818


  2:1
# 4:1
  5:1
  6:1

7. In the case of grade 8/T chain the grade mark should appear:
  On every other link
  Every 3 metres

# Every 20th link or 1 metre, whichever is the lesser


  On a tag attached to the end link

8. In the case of chain to BS 3114 the grade mark should appear:


  On every other link
  Every 3 metres
  Every 20th link or 3 ft, whichever is the lesser
# On a tag attached to the end link

9. Medium tolerance chain is suitable for use:


# As sling chain only
  As load chain only
  As both sling and load chain
  Is not suitable for lifting purposes

10. The Harmonised European Standard for chain is numbered:


  BS EN 181
  BS EN 1663
# BS EN 818
  BS EN 4942

11. Fine tolerance chain is subjected to a finishing process which involves:


# Applying a tensile force to pull it to size
  Placing each link in a die and stamping it to size
  Pickling it in acid to remove oxides formed during working
  Polishing it to make it smooth so that it will easily engage in the pockets of load wheels

12. The maximum allowable wear in the link of a chain sling starting a further period of service is:
  5% of diameter
# 8% of diameter
  10% of diameter
  No wear permitted

13. The maximum elongation of a chain starting a further period of service is:
# 5%
  8%
  10%
  No elongation permitted

14. Sling chain requires a good level of ductility in order that it:
  Is resistant to elongation under stress
# Is able to resist shock loading
  Is able to resist wear in corrosive atmospheres
  Is hard enough to withstand dents, notches and indentations

15. When grade 8/T chain comes into contact with acids:
  The chain is softened
# The chain becomes subject to hydrogen embrittlement
  The wearing properties of the chain are improved
  The chain is known as annealed chain

16. The manufacturers of lifting chain initially apply a test force equal to:
  2 x WLL
# 2.5 x WLL
  3 x WLL
  3.5 x WLL

17. Calibrated chain is intended for use on:


  Sling chains
  Load lashing equipment
  Fishing gear
# Load chain on a lifting appliance

18. Load chains to BS EN 818-7 must not be used at temperatures of:


# 200ºC
  150ºC
  130ºC
  100ºC

19. Case hardened chain type DAT is used for:


  Load chain in manual chain hoists
# Load chain for high speed power hoists
  Load chain for power hoists in abrasive conditions
  Load chain in a lever hoist

20. Where is the least stressed part of the chain


  On the inside of the link at the crown
  At the weld
# On the outside of the link opposite the weld
  The link has equal stress throughout
