Subject : engineering
Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. A good analogy of the ___ control is a stack of pennies. this tolerance would control how round each penny is but not the straightness of the whole stack






2. In GD&T - ___ of a surface specifies a 3D tolerance zone defined by two contoured surfaces. When a datum reference is not specified - the tolerance controls only the shape of the contour. When datums are specified - the tolerance controls the shape o






3. when the inside dimensions are more important or more critical than the overall dimension - the overall dimension should be identified as a ___ dimension






4. Engineering drawings require the use of single stroke ___ lettering






5. The accepted national standard in the united states for dimension and tolerancing is...






6. When you dimension holes - you string the symbols together in ___






7. A ___ is a cylindrical or spherical surface or a set of two opposed elements or opposed parallel surfaces associated with a size dimension






8. ___ tolerances are for individual features and are not related to any datums. This group of geometric tolerances includes straightness - flatness - circularity - and cylindricity






9. Datums are always required for ___






10. Each dimension shall have a ___ - except for those dimensions specifically identified as reference - maximum - minimum - or stock






11. The counterpart of MMC is the ___ - which is the condition in which a feature of size contains the minimum amount of material within the stated limits of size






12. ___ is the difference between the maximum material limits of mating parts






13. Most drawings conform to the International System of Units (SI) which is metric and uses the ____ as the standard unit; or they conform to US customary unites with standard unit of the decimal inch






14. Which type of dimensiong offers the best way to eliminate toelrance accumulation?






15. A numerical value expressed in appropriate units of measure and used to define the size - location - geometric characteristic - - or surface texture of a aprt or part feature is a ___






16. In GD&T - the ___ (MMC) modifier allows the size of the zone to change if the size of the hole changes






17. A thin - dark - solid lien extending from a point on an object and perpendicular to a dimension line is called an ___






18. Which type of english fit is inteded where accuracy of location is of prime importance and where parts require rigidity and alignment with no special requirement for bore pressure?






19. In ___ dimensioning - all of the dimensions in a given direction originate from a base or datum






20. ___ refers to a fit where there is space between the two mating parts.






21. ___ dimensioning an tolerancing is a 4d mathematical system that allows a designer to describe the form - orientation - and location of features on a part within precise tolerance zones.






22. ___ is a fit where the two mating parts have intersecting nominal volumes - requiring the deformation of the parts






23. The main focus of GD&T is the ___ frame which contains the geometric characteristic symbol - the geometric tolerance - and the relative datums.






24. Datums are not allowed for v






25. ___ dimensioning usually yields the largest accumulation of tolerance between features.






26. ___ is a 2D control similar to circulatirty or roundness. the main difference is that it controls a surface relative to a datum axis.






27. A good rule of thumb to follow when dimensioning is to dimension only visible or ___ lines






28. ___ holes are used for applications with flat head and oval head screws






29. Baseline dimension is often used for CNC machines that work from a ___ coordinate system






30. A ___ is typically a planar surface or a feature where the normal vectors point in the same direction






31. A small triangle at the end of a dimension liens and leaders that indicates the direction and extent of a dimension is called a ___






32. ___ holes are standard machined holes that are used to accept fillister head and hex sockets head screws






33. All dimensions and tolerances apply in a free state condition. this principle does not apply to ___ parts






34. ___ fits are typically associated with selective assembly






35. ___ are used to direct a dimension - note - or symbol to the intended place on a drawing.






36. For machined parts - the amount of variation - or ___ - might be relatively small






37. A __ line - along with its arrowheads - shows the direction and extent of a dimension






38. When profile tolerances are equally distributed about the perfect geometry of the features - this is referred to as a ___ distribution.






39. ___ tolerances are tolerances where the deviation is divided in some way above and below the basic size of the dimension.
