Read the first 7 Preventive Maintenance Procedures flashcards as text
A CTE teacher uses a predictive maintenance approach rather than a fixed-schedule approach. What distinguishes predictive maintenance?
Answer: Maintenance is triggered by condition monitoring data such as vibration, temperature, or oil analysis
Predictive maintenance uses real-time condition data to schedule service only when indicators suggest imminent failure.
In a CTE electrical program, what does the term 'thermographic inspection' refer to in preventive maintenance?
Answer: Using infrared thermal imaging to detect hot spots in electrical panels and connections
Thermographic (infrared) inspections detect abnormal heat in electrical connections that indicate loose connections or overloaded circuits before failure occurs.
Which statement BEST describes the relationship between preventive maintenance and student safety in CTE programs?
Answer: Well-maintained equipment reduces the likelihood of unexpected failure that could injure students
Regular preventive maintenance directly reduces the risk of unexpected equipment failures that could cause student injuries.
A CTE collision repair teacher notices a spray booth filter is 60% loaded. Per NFPA 33 standards, at what load level must filters be replaced?
Answer: As specified by the booth manufacturer, typically before airflow falls below design specifications
NFPA 33 requires filter replacement per manufacturer specifications before airflow is compromised to maintain safe exhaust of flammable vapors.
When calibrating measurement tools in a CTE precision machining lab, what does 'zeroing' or 'zeroing out' a micrometer accomplish?
Answer: Eliminates built-in measurement error by establishing a true zero reference
Zeroing establishes a true zero reference point, ensuring all subsequent measurements are accurate and free from instrument error.
A CTE teacher wants to extend the life of pneumatic tools in the shop. Which preventive maintenance practice is MOST effective for air tools?
Answer: Regularly draining air compressor tanks and oiling air tools per manufacturer specs
Draining moisture from compressor tanks prevents rust inside tools, and regular oiling keeps internal components lubricated.
In a CTE cosmetology program, which preventive maintenance practice is required for electrical styling tools like curling irons and flat irons?
Answer: Inspecting cords for fraying, checking for damaged heating elements, and cleaning plates regularly
Regular cord inspection, heating element checks, and plate cleaning prevent electrical hazards and maintain consistent tool performance.
