Inspection and Testing


INSPECTION AND TESTING-
In engineering activities inspection involves the measurements, tests, and gauges applied to certain characteristics in regard to an object or activity. The results are usually compared to specified requirements and standards for determining whether the item or activity is in line with these targets, often with a standard inspection procedure in place to ensure consistent checking. Inspections are usually non-destructive

 Non-Destructive Testing in great variety are in worldwide used to detect variations in structure, minute changes in surface finish, the presence of cracks or other physical discontinuities, measure the thickness of materials and coatings and to determine industrial products.

Some of the most common NDT methods are
Destructive tests on raw materials, welded joints are usually made as part of the approval OF material/ welding procedure or a welder.
Commonly used destructive tests are:
  1. HARDNESS 
  2. BEND 
  3. TENSILE 
  4. CHARPY 
  5. FRACTURE TESTS 
  6. MACRO SECTION

Part -2 Most commonly asked Mechanical Interview Questions

Most commonly asked Mechanical Interview Questions 1. What is the difference between Critical Speed and Whirling Speed? Ans. In Solid mechanics, in the field of rotor dynamics, the critical speed is the theoretical angular velocity which excites the natural frequency of a rotating object, such as a shaft, propeller or gear. As the speed of rotation approaches the objects natural frequency, the object begins to resonate which dramatically increases system vibration. The resulting resonance occurs regardless of orientation.Whirling Speed is due to the unbalanced forces acting on a rotating shaft. 2. How a Diesel Engine Works as Generator? Ans. Diesel engine is a prime mover, for a generator, pump,and for vehicles etc. generator is connected to engine by shaft. mostly in thermal power plat ,there is an engine is used to drive generator to generate power. 3. Explain Second Law of Thermodynamics? Ans. The entropy of the universe increases over tim...

VISUAL INSPECTION OF WELDING

VISUAL  INSPECTION OF WELDING INTRODUCTION Inspection starts with examination of the material prior to fabrication, scabs, seams, scale or other harmful surface conditions may be detected in visual inspection. The inspector should check the following : Weld preparation, dimensions and finish.  Clearance dimensions of backing strips.  Alignment and fit up to the pieces being welded.  Verification of cleanliness.  Visual Inspection During Welding Visual inspection checks details of the work while welding is in progress. Among the details to be checked are : Welding process.  Cleaning.  Preheat and inter pass temperature.  Joint preparation.  Filler metal.  Flux or shielding gas.  Chipping, grinding, or gouging.  Post heating temperature and time.  Visual Inspection After Welding Visual inspection is useful for finished-product verification of such items as : Profile irregularities of the weldment....

'NICK' BREAK (BEND) TEST

'NICK' BREAK (BEND) TEST Object :  As for fillet weld fracture, used on butt welds. Method: The specimen is cut transversely to the weld, and a saw cut is applied along the center of the weld face. The best place for the cut is at a start I stop. The specimen is fractured by bending or by hammer blows. The nick bend test will find internal defects. Reporting Results: Thickness of material.  Width of specimen.  Location of fracture.  Appearance of joint after fracture.
