a) L = 2.51\(\sqrt{A}\)
b) L = 4.51\(\sqrt{A}\)
c) L = 2\(\sqrt{A}\)
d) L = 3.51\(\sqrt{A}\)
View Answer
Explanation: According to ASTM standard, gauge length = 4.51\(\sqrt{A}\).
4. According to BS standard, which of the following relation is correct about gauge length of cross section area ‘A’?
a) L = 2.51\(\sqrt{A}\)
b) L = 4.51\(\sqrt{A}\)
c) L = 4\(\sqrt{A}\)
d) L = 3.51\(\sqrt{A}\)
View Answer
Explanation: According to BS standard, gauge length = 4\(\sqrt{A}\), where A denotes the cross section area of specimen used under testing.
5. According to DIN standard, which of the following relation is correct about gauge length of cross section area ‘A’?
a) L = 12.51\(\sqrt{A}\)
b) L = 14.51\(\sqrt{A}\)
c) L = 4\(\sqrt{A}\)
d) L = 11.2\(\sqrt{A}\)
View Answer
Explanation: According to DIN standard, gauge length=11.2\(\sqrt{A}\), where A denotes the cross section area of specimen used under testing.
6. Mohs hardness test has a scale range of _________
a) 1 to 10
b) 100 to 200
c) 1 to 1000
d) 1 to 3000
View Answer
Explanation: Mohs hardness scale was developed by “Frederich Mohs” in 1822, which is a chart that denotes relative hardness of the various materials (1-softest to 10-hardenst). According to Mohs scale, diamond is the hardest material and talc is the softest material.
7. Brinell hardness test has a scale range of _________
a) 0 to 10
b) 100 to 200
c) 0 to 1000
