need to be followed. To prevent damage or erroneous readings, first make sure the gauge is compatible with the
compressed air source's pressure range. Check the tire valve stem and the gauge for any debris or damage that
can compromise the reading's accuracy or seal before fastening the gauge to it. To avoid over-inflating the tire,
which can result in blowouts or damage, use brief bursts of air when inflating it and check the pressure gauge
frequently. Wear the proper personal protection equipment, such as gloves and safety glasses, to further guard
against injuries from flying debris or unexpected tire bursts.
3. What are Outside and inside micrometers used for?
Precision measuring instruments, such as outside and inside micrometres, are widely utilized in the engineering,
industrial, and automotive sectors for accurate dimension measurement. External micrometres, sometimes referred
to as outside micrometres, are used to measure an object's exterior diameter or thickness with extreme precision.
Usually, they are composed of a spindle, a thimble, an anvil, and a C-shaped frame. Using a ratchet or friction
thimble, move the spindle toward the object until light contact is made. The object to be measured is positioned
between the anvil and the spindle. The measurement is then taken using the barrel and thimble scales, which
provide accurate readings to the thousandth or tenth of an inch or millimetre.

8. Which statement is not correct?
A. Micrometers should be handled carefully.

B. Micrometers should be left with a gap when not in use.
C. Micrometers should be closed tightly.
D. Micrometers need to be checked for accuracy.
9. Explain the operation of the outside micrometer when measuring an object?
To achieve precise and accurate measurements, there are multiple processes involved in the process of measuring
an object with an external micrometer. First, the measurement object is positioned between the micrometer's
spindle and anvil. After that, the spindle is adjusted by turning the thimble or by utilizing a ratchet mechanism until it
just barely makes contact with the object's surface. To prevent inaccurate readings, care must be taken to make
sure the spindle is perpendicular to the surface being measured.
The measurement is obtained from the micrometer's barrel and the scale on the thimble after the spindle makes
contact with the object. The micrometer's precision determines whether the thimble gives readings in tenths or
hundredths of a millimeter, whereas the barrel usually has graduations in millimeters.
The user must make sure the micrometer is held steadily and that there are no outside influences distorting or
deflecting the object being measured in order to get an accurate measurement.
10. Where would you use an inside micrometer?
When determining an object's internal dimensions, like the diameter of a hole or the breadth of a groove, an inside
micrometer is usually utilized.
11. Explain how to use an inside micrometer.
To assure precise measurement of inside dimensions, there are various stages involved in using an inside
micrometer. The diameter of the hole or groove to be measured should be used to determine the proper size of the
inside micrometer first. After that, turn the thimble of the micrometer until the anvils, or measuring tips, are
marginally smaller than the hole's or groove's diameter. Make sure the anvils on the micrometer are perpendicular
to the surface being measured before inserting it into the aperture. Turn the micrometer slowly so that the anvils
come into contact with the interior walls. After positioning the micrometer, read the measurement from the digital
display or scale, making sure to adjust for any zero errors. To ensure accuracy, take several measurements from
various locations inside the hole, and note the average measurement for precise results. Finally, retract the
micrometer carefully and store it properly to maintain its accuracy for future use.

12. What are the advantages of using a digital micrometer?
A. Measurements can be taken in both metric and imperial units.

B. Digital micrometers are able to take extremely accurate measurements.
C. The reading is instant and avoids user error by eliminating the need to interpret the scales.
D. All answers are correct.

13. Read the imperial micrometer below and workout the measurement. The graduations on the sleeve each
represent 0.025 inch.
A. 0.0212 inch.
B. 0.0775 inch.
C. 0.5280 inch.
14. What four (4) maintenance activities should be carried out on a micrometer to ensure accuracy?
 Cleaning: Using a lint-free cloth or brush, thoroughly clean the measuring faces, anvils, and the micrometer on
a regular basis to get rid of any dust, dirt, or pollutants. Refrain from using anything abrasive that might scratch
the surfaces.
 Calibration: To ensure the micrometer is accurate, calibrate it on a regular basis using gauge blocks or
calibrated reference standards. The micrometer's calibration guarantees accurate and trustworthy readings.
 Lubrication: To guarantee smooth operation and stop wear over time, lightly lubricate the moving parts, such
as the spindle and thimble. To prevent the micrometer from being damaged, use the lubrication that the
manufacturer recommends.
 Storage: To keep the micrometer safe from dust, moisture, and other pollutants, keep it in a dry, clean
environment. If possible, keep it in its protective case. The micrometer's accuracy and functionality may be
impacted by storing it in locations with high humidity or temperatures.

17. How do you read a Vernier caliper?
To accurately read a Vernier caliper and calculate the measurement, there are multiple processes involved. The full
number portion of the measurement is provided by the main scale, which is usually expressed in millimeters or
inches. By showing fractions of the smallest division on the main scale, the Vernier scale, which glides along the
main scale, enables more accurate readings. The first step in reading a Vernier caliper is to determine where the
zero mark is on the Vernier scale in relation to the main scale. Next, find the division on the Vernier scale that most
nearly matches a division on the main scale. The fractional portion of the measurement is represented by the value
on the Vernier scale that lines up with a division on the main scale. To get the entire measurement, finally add the
fractional portion from the Vernier scale to the whole number part from the main scale. To get exact measures
using a Vernier caliper, it's important to make sure that the main scale and the Vernier scale are both read correctly.

35. What is a tyre pressure gauge used for?
The air pressure within car tires is measured with a tire pressure gauge. It is necessary to keep tires inflated to the
recommended levels, which is necessary to guarantee tire performance, safety, and fuel economy. Drivers may
precisely check the air pressure in their tires and make necessary adjustments to meet the manufacturer's
suggested requirements by utilizing a tire pressure gauge. This helps avoid problems like possible tire blowouts,
poor handling, uneven tire wear, and decreased fuel efficiency. Using a tire pressure gauge to check and maintain
the right tire pressure on a regular basis makes driving safer and extends tire life.
36. Explain how to use a tyre pressure gauge?
 Remove the valve cap: Unscrew the valve cap from the tire's valve stem and set it aside in a safe place.
 Press the gauge onto the valve stem: Firmly press the head of the tire pressure gauge onto the valve stem.
Ensure a tight seal between the gauge and the valve stem to prevent air leakage.
 Read the pressure: After a moment, the tire pressure gauge will display the air pressure reading on its dial or
digital screen. Take note of the reading.
 Compare the reading: Compare the measured tire pressure with the manufacturer's recommended tire
pressure, which can usually be found in the owner's manual or on a sticker located on the driver's side door
jamb or inside the fuel filler flap.
 Adjust tire pressure if necessary: If the measured tire pressure is below or above the recommended level, use
an air compressor to inflate or deflate the tire accordingly. Recheck the pressure with the tire pressure gauge
until it matches the recommended level.
 Replace the valve cap: Once you have finished checking and adjusting the tire pressure, securely screw the
valve cap back onto the valve stem to prevent dust and debris from entering.

37. A compression gauge is used to measure.
A. Compression of the engine cylinders.

B. Pressure of the transmission hydraulic circuit.
C. The pressure of the fuel injection system.
38. Outline briefly how a compression gauge is used?
 Prepare the vehicle: Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is turned off. Allow the
engine to cool down if it has been running.
 Access the spark plugs: Locate the spark plugs in the engine. You may need to remove the engine cover or
other components to access them.
 Remove spark plugs: Carefully remove the spark plugs from each cylinder using a spark plug socket wrench.
Keep track of which spark plug comes from which cylinder.
 Prepare the compression gauge: Thread the compression gauge into the spark plug hole for the first cylinder.
Ensure its securely tightened but not overly tightened to avoid damaging the threads.
 Disable ignition and fuel delivery: To prevent the engine from starting during the compression test, you may
need to disable the ignition system or fuel delivery. This step varies depending on the vehicle make and model.
Consult the vehicle's manual for specific instructions.
 Start the engine: Using the starter motor or a remote starter switch, rev the engine for a few seconds while
keeping the fuel and ignition off and the compression gauge attached. This permits the compression gauge to
measure the maximum compression pressure reached by the piston.
 Note the reading: Take note of the gauge's indication of the compression pressure. One by one, go with this
procedure for every cylinder in the engine.
 Compare readings: After each cylinder's readings have been obtained, compare them to the manufacturer's
recommendations. Significant differences in cylinder performance could be a sign of engine faults like worn-out
valves, head gaskets, or piston rings.
 Reinstall spark plugs and any other removed components: Following the compression test, replace the spark
plugs and any other removed components.
Interpret findings: Additional diagnostic procedures might be required to identify any compression problems
with the engine, depending on the results received.
 Record outcomes: For future use or research, note any observations along with the compression readings.
 Seek expert guidance as necessary: It's best to speak with an experienced mechanic for additional diagnostics
and repairs if the compression readings are not within an acceptable range or if you have any questions about
the findings.
39. Why would you use an oil pressure gauge to check the oil pressure of an engine?
An oil pressure gauge is a vital diagnostic instrument for evaluating the condition and functionality of an engine's
lubrication system. It is used to monitor the oil pressure inside an engine. In order to prevent early wear or damage,
reduce friction, dissipate heat, and provide adequate lubrication of engine components, it is imperative to maintain
correct oil pressure. Regularly monitoring the oil pressure allows mechanics and car owners to see such problems
early and fix them to avoid expensive engine damage or failures.
A number of issues, including low oil level, a worn-out oil pump, oil leaks, a clogged oil filter, or excessive engine
wear, might be indicated by low oil pressure. On the other hand, excessively high oil pressure may indicate a
restriction in the oil passageways, a broken pressure relief valve, or
40. Where is the oil pressure gauge fitted to the engine?
Engine Block: In many engines, especially older models, the oil pressure gauge is connected directly to the engine
block. It is often installed near the oil filter housing or another convenient location on the engine block itself. This
location provides a direct measurement of oil pressure at the heart of the engine.
Oil Galley: In some modern engines, particularly those with electronic oil pressure monitoring systems, the oil
pressure sensor or sender unit may be located in the oil galley. The oil galley is a passage within the engine block
that delivers pressurized oil to various engine components. The sensor or sender unit in this location provides an
accurate reading of the oil pressure within the engine.
41. What components does a fuel pressure gauge measure on the fuel injection system?
Fuel Pump Output Pressure: The fuel pump is responsible for delivering pressurized fuel from the fuel tank to the
fuel injectors. The fuel pressure gauge measures the output pressure of the fuel pump, ensuring that it is within the
manufacturer's specified range. Low fuel pressure can result in poor engine performance, while excessively high
pressure can lead to fuel system damage or leaks.
Fuel Rail Pressure: After leaving the fuel pump, the pressurized fuel travels through the fuel rail, which distributes
fuel to each fuel injector. The fuel pressure gauge measures the pressure within the fuel rail, allowing for precise
control of fuel delivery to the injectors. Proper fuel rail pressure ensures consistent fuel atomization and distribution
to the engine cylinders, optimizing combustion efficiency.
Fuel Injector Execution: Fuel injectors are liable for conveying metered measures of fuel straightforwardly into the
ignition offices of the motor. The fuel pressure check by implication screens the presentation of the fuel injectors by
guaranteeing that the fuel pressure is kept up with at the right level.
Fuel Strain Controller Usefulness: The fuel pressure controller is a basic part that keeps up with reliable fuel
tension inside the fuel infusion framework by managing the progression of fuel getting back to the gas tank. The
fuel pressure measure assists screen the activity of the fuel with constraining controller by demonstrating whether
the managed pressure is inside the ideal reach.
42. How is a pressure tester used to check a cooling system?
 Cooling Framework Arrangement: Guarantee the motor is cool prior to starting the test to keep injury from hot
coolant. Once cooled, eliminate the radiator or coolant supply cap to get to the cooling framework.
 Choosing the Right Connector: Strain analysers accompany different connectors to fit various sorts of radiator
covers or coolant supply openings. Pick the proper connector that fits safely onto the radiator or supply
opening.
 Connecting the Tension Analyzer: Join the strain analyzer to the radiator or coolant repository by screwing or
clipping it onto the connector. Ensure the association is tight and get to forestall spills during the test.
 Compressing the Framework: Siphon the handle or trigger on the tension analyzer to compress the cooling
framework. As strain develops, it mimics the circumstances the cooling framework encounters during typical
activity.
 Checking for Tension Drop: When the cooling framework is compressed to the predetermined strain
(frequently showed on the strain analyzer), screen the tension measure on the analyser. A strain drop
demonstrates a break some place in the cooling framework.
 Reviewing for Holes: Cautiously examine all parts of the cooling framework, including hoses, associations,
radiator, warmer centre, water siphon, and gaskets, for indications of coolant spillage. Search for trickling
coolant, wet spots, or noticeable breaks or harm.
 Involving Extra Strategies for Identification: at times, it could be trying to distinguish the wellspring of a break
outwardly. In such occurrences, a repairman might utilize extra strategies, for example, UV color or a cooling
framework pressure test with a color infusion framework. This includes adding a fluorescent color to the
coolant, compressing the framework, and afterward utilizing an UV light to identify any holes.
 Recording and Fixing: Note any releases found during the strain test. Fixes might include supplanting harmed
parts, fixing associations, or fixing spills with proper sealants or glues.
 Delivering Strain and Reassembling: When the test is finished and any essential fixes have been made,
discharge the tension from the cooling framework by releasing the tension analyser and eliminating it from the
radiator or coolant repository. Reassemble any parts that were eliminated for access.
 Topping off Coolant: In the wake of finishing the strain test, top off the cooling framework with the fitting
coolant blend to the suggested level.
43. What does a cylinder leak tester test for?
A cylinder leak test is a diagnostic tool used to assess the condition of the engine and cylinders and
identify potential sources of pressure loss. It works by injecting compressed air into each cylinder when it
is at top dead centre (TDC) on the compression stroke, allowing mechanics to locate leaks in
various parts of the combustion chamber.
 Compression Loss: One of the primary purposes of a cylinder leak tester is to detect compression loss in an
engine's cylinders. Compression loss can occur due to worn piston rings, damaged cylinder walls, leaking
valves, or a blown head gasket.
 Valve Sealing: The cylinder leak tester assesses the integrity of the valves by pressurizing the combustion
chamber and checking for leaks past the intake or exhaust valves. Leaking valves can result from worn valve
seals, damaged valve seats, or improperly seated valves.
 Piston Ring Seal: The tester evaluates the sealing effectiveness of the piston rings by pressurizing the cylinder
and observing any air leakage past the rings into the crankcase. Poor piston ring seal can lead to reduced
compression, increased oil consumption, and decreased engine power.
44. How does a cylinder leak tester operate?
A chamber spill analyzer works by bringing packed air into the ignition office of a motor chamber while it's at top on
target (TDC) on the pressure stroke. The analyzer regularly incorporates a check to gauge the level of spillage. By
compressing the chamber and checking the pneumatic force drop, mechanics can recognize spills in the chamber's
valves, cylinder rings, or head gasket. This interaction analyze motor issues connected with pressure misfortune
and guides important fixes.

45. An infrared, digital or dial type thermometer is often used to measure?
A. Air temperature at the vent outlets.

B. Coolant temperature.
C. Catalytic converter temperature.

46. When is a manifold gauge set used?
A. Discharging the A/C gas system.

B. Charging the A/C gas system.
C. Evacuating the A/C gas system.
47. Describe the four (4) steps to safety select and use measuring tools in the automotive workplace?
1 Distinguish the Right Device: Guarantee you have the proper estimating instrument for the particular job
needing to be done. Different car frameworks and parts might require various sorts of estimating
instruments, like micrometers, calipers, dial markers, or force torques. Choosing the right apparatus for the
gig is urgent for exact estimations and safe tasks.
2 Investigate the Device: Prior to utilizing any estimating apparatus, completely review it for any indications of
harm, wear, or breakdown. Check for broken or bowed parts, broken down markings or scales, and
guarantee that moving parts work without a hitch and precisely. Utilizing a harmed or defective instrument
can prompt off base estimations, likely injury, or harm to vehicle parts.
3 Follow Security Methodology: Focus on wellbeing while involving estimating apparatuses in the auto
working environment. Wear fitting individual defensive hardware (PPE, for example, wellbeing glasses,
gloves, and hearing assurance, particularly while working with power devices or in conditions with expected
risks. Observe laid out wellbeing conventions and rules to limit the gamble of mishaps or wounds while
utilizing estimating apparatuses.
4 Utilize the Instrument Accurately: Look into the appropriate activity and procedures for utilizing the chose
estimating apparatus. Allude to the producer's guidelines, client manuals, or preparing materials to
guarantee you comprehend how to utilize the apparatus securely and really. Take exact estimations
following laid out techniques, and twofold check estimations when important to guarantee accuracy and
dependability.
48. What is Lockout/Tagout?
In industrial and automotive environments, lockout/tagout (LOTO) is a safety protocol that shields personnel from
potentially harmful energy sources while performing maintenance or repairs on equipment. To avoid the
unintentional activation or discharge of stored energy during maintenance or repair operations, energy sources
such as electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, or pneumatic energy must be isolated.
In order to keep energy isolation devices like switches, circuit breakers, and valves from being turned on, the
"lockout" component entails physically securing the devices with padlocks or other lockout tools. Attaching
prominent tags to the locked-out equipment to indicate that it shouldn't be used until maintenance is finished is
known as the "tagout" component.
49. What care is needed with precision measuring equipment?
For precision measurement equipment to be accurate and reliable in automotive applications, careful handling and
maintenance are necessary. Instruments must be stored properly, kept clean, and handled according to established
protocols. Accuracy must be confirmed by routine calibration checks, and any worn-out or broken equipment needs
to be replaced or fixed right away. Operators must also use caution when handling measuring instruments, avoiding
rough treatment or exposure to unfavourable environments that can erode their accuracy. Maintaining
measurement accuracy and fostering a productive and safe work environment for automotive technicians require
sufficient training on the correct operation and maintenance of precision measuring equipment.
