|
98.3
|
|
True or False. Whenever you apply the gas laws, you must use absolute pressure.
|
True
|
|
When you observe that the pressure of gas in a sealed container has increased, you can assume that?
|
heat has been absorbed by the gas
|
|

|
114.7
|
|

|
charles and boyle
|
|

|
69.4 psig
|
|
In addition to being nonpoisonous and free from any acids that might cause system corrosion, the gas used as the fluid medium for a pneumatic system must possess what characteristics?
|
nonflammability, chemical stability, ready availability
|
|
The gases used in Navy pneumatic systems are similar to the liquids used in hydraulic systems, except that the gases are not?
|
good lubricants
|
|
What characteristic of compressed air makes it undesirable as a medium for pneumatic systems?
|
its moisture content
|
|
True or False. In all compressed air systems, the compressor, due to the unlimited supply of air, is installed in the distribution lines leading to the device to be operated.
|
False
|
|
True or False. The LP air system is supplied with LP air by LP air compressors. The LP air system is supplied with air by the HP air system supplying air through a pressure-reducing station.
|
True
|
|
Why is the use of nitrogen preferred over the use of compressed air in many aircraft and missile pneumatic systems?
|
nitrogen cannot support living organisms, nitrogen cannot support combustion and fire, and nitrogen does not cause rust or decay of the surfaces with which it comes in contact.
|
|
What steps can a maintenance person take to control contamination of pneumatic systems?
|
keep all tools and the work air clean and dirt free and cap or plug all lines and fittings immediately after disconnecting them
|
|
You must NEVER use the contents of a cylinder identified by what color codes for purging an oxygen system?
|
one black stripe around its top
|
|
True or False. In as much as compressed air is neither toxic nor flammable, the ordinary precautions for handling compressed gases do not apply to handling it.
|
False
|
|
True or False. In as much as nitrogen is nontoxic, the usual ventilation precautions need not be observed when nitrogen is used in confined spaces.
|
False
|
|
