Engineering Drawing Questions and Answers – Types of Nuts

This set of Engineering Drawing Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Types of Nuts”.

1. Screwed joints are ______________
a) Temporary joints
b) Permanent joints
c) Neither permanent nor temporary joint
d) Temporary and permanent joints
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Joints are either temporary or permanent. Screwed joints are temporary joints as they are easily separated by screwing off. Pipe joints, pin joints, cotter joints, and screwed joints are some of the temporary joints.

2. Angle turned by the spanner to get the alternative holds in a hexagonal nut is ______
a) 180°
b) 60°
c) 90°
d) 40°
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: To get the Next to hold the spanner needs to be turned 360°/(no. of side), hence for hexagonal it is 360°/6 = 60°. It is more convenient than any other type of nuts in use.

3. Angle turned by the spanner to get the alternative holds in a square nut is ______
a) 180°
b) 60°
c) 90°
d) 40°
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: To get the Next hold the spanner needs to be turned 360°/(no. of side), hence for square it is 360°/4 = 90°. Square is convenient to get hold but the turning is little complex hence hexagonal nuts are highly preferred.

4. The angle of chamfering for the hexagonal nut with the base is ________
a) 30° to 45°
b) 50° to 65°
c) 10° to 25°
d) 60° to 75°
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: The upper corners of the nut are basically chamfered to avoid sharp edges, generally in a conical shape. The angle of the chamfer is 30° to 45°.

5. As per the approximate standard dimensions the relation between the thickness of the nut T and the nominal diameter of the bolt D for a hexagonal nut.
a) D = 0.5T
b) T = 2D
c) T = D
d) D = 2T
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Nuts and bolts have standard dimensions and proportions published by B.I.S. Approximate standard dimensions are adopted mostly for elementary works. As published by B.I.S, the relation as per approximate standard dimensions between the thickness of the nut T and the nominal diameter of the bolt D is T = D for hexagonal nut.

6. As per the approximate standard dimensions the relation between the width across flats W and the nominal diameter of the bolt D, in mm for a hexagonal nut.
a) D = 0.5W + 3
b) W = 2D + 3
c) W = 1.4D
d) W = 1.5D + 3
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: Nuts and bolts have standard dimensions and proportions published by B.I.S. Approximate standard dimensions are adopted mostly for elementary works. As published by B.I.S, the relation as per approximate standard dimensions between the width across flats W and the nominal diameter of the bolt D is W = 1.5D + 3mm for hexagonal nut.

7. As per the approximate standard dimensions the relation between the radius of chamfer arc, R and the nominal diameter of the bolt D for a hexagonal nut.
a) D = 0.5R
b) R = 2D
c) R = 1.4D
d) D = 2R

8. As per the rough rule dimensions the relation between the thickness of the nut T and the nominal diameter of the bolt D for a hexagonal nut.
a) D = 0.5T
b) T = 2D
c) T = D
d) D = 2T

Answer: c
Explanation: Nuts and bolts have standard dimensions and proportions published by B.I.S. Rough rule dimensions are adopted mostly for one view drawings of nuts. As published by B.I.S, the relation as per rough dimensions between the thickness of the nut T and the nominal diameter of the bolt D is T = D for hexagonal nut.

9. As per the rough rule dimensions the relation between the radius of chamfer arc, R and the nominal diameter of the bolt D for a hexagonal nut.
a) D = 0.5R
b) R = 2D
c) R = 1.4D
d) D = 2R

10. As per the rough rule dimensions what will be the distance across the opposite corners diagonally for a nut if the nominal diameter of the bolt D for a hexagonal nut.
a) D
b) 0.5D
c) 1.5D
d) 2D
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: Nuts and bolts have standard dimensions and proportions published by B.I.S. Rough rule dimensions are adopted mostly for one view drawings of nuts. As per rough rule dimensions the distance across the opposite corners diagonally for a nut is 2D if the nominal diameter of the bolt D for hexagonal nut.

11. As per the approximate standard dimensions the relation between the thickness of the nut T and the nominal diameter of the bolt D for a square nut.
a) D = 0.5T
b) T = 2D
c) T = D
d) D = 2T

12. A hexagonal nut with a flat circular disc attached to it is called ______
a) Dome nut
b) Cap nut
c) Flanged nut
d) Capstan nut
