7. If any standardized component is assembled correctly with any of its mating components, provided that both the components are drawn randomly, then it is termed as ___________
a) Standardization
b) Simplification
c) Specialization
d) Interchangeability
View Answer
Explanation: If any standardized component is assembled correctly with any of its mating component, provided that both the components are drawn randomly, then it is termed as Interchangeability. Standardization, Simplification and Specialization are closely inter-related and lead to interchangeability. Cost of the product is reduced as it makes the process of assembly simple and easy.
8. Standards convey the sense that there are only certain specific sizes made and sold.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: A combination of several components is required to make a product. The components may be nuts, bolts, washers, screws etc., A single component may fail which affects the entire functionality of the product. Hence, the failed component needs to be replaced with a similar component of the same specifications. For this purpose, standards have been established for products and services.
9. Interchangeable system is also called as ____________
a) Limit system
b) System of limits and fits
c) Limit system or System of limits and fits
d) System of replacement
View Answer
Explanation: The interchangeable system is also called a Limit system or System of limits and fits. It introduces the concepts of limits, fits and tolerance. They deal with the dimensions of a component in MICRONS.
10. The difference between higher and lower limits is defined as _____________
a) Limit
b) Fit
c) Tolerance
d) Interchangeability
View Answer
Explanation: Tolerance is defined as the difference between the upper and lower limits of a particular dimension of the component. Tolerance denotes the range of variation of a particular dimension.
