A) Technician A
B) Technician B
C) Both Technician A and Technician B
D) Neither Technician A nor Technician B

Accepted Answer

Both Technician A and Technician B are correct. A dial indicator is also known as a dial gauge, and it features a dial and needle for reading measurements.

Question 10

Dial indicators normally have either _______ indicator needles.
A) Three or four
B) Four or five
C) One or two
D) None of the answers listed

Accepted Answer

Dial indicators typically have one or two indicator needles to measure small distances or angles.

Question 11

Dial indicators can typically measure with an accuracy of:
A) 0.100"
B) 0.001"
C) 0.010"
D) 1.000"

Accepted Answer

Dial indicators are precision instruments commonly used to measure small distances with high accuracy, typically up to 0.001 inches.

Question 12

Technician A states that dial indicators are used in many types of service jobs. Technician B states that when attaching a dial indicator, keep support arms as extended as far as possible. Who is correct?
A) Technician A
B) Technician B
C) Both A and B
D) Neither A nor B

Accepted Answer

Dial indicators are indeed used in many types of service jobs for precise measurements. However, Technician B is incorrect because keeping support arms extended as far as possible can lead to inaccurate readings due to increased flexibility and potential movement.
