- A.
Wear metals.
- B.
Friction metals.
- C.
Precious metals.
- D.
Transformation metals.
Correct Answer
A. Wear metals.Explanation
Microscopic metallic particles in the oil system are called wear metals. These particles are generated as a result of friction and wear between moving parts in the machinery. They can come from various sources such as the engine, transmission, or other mechanical components. Monitoring the levels of wear metals in the oil can provide valuable information about the condition of the machinery and can help identify potential issues or failures before they occur.Rate this question:

(409) Increased friction between moving parts in the oil system
- A.
Accelerates the rate of wear, decreasing the production of wear metal particles.
- B.
Accelerates the rate of wear, increasing the production of wear metal particles.
- C.
Slows the rate of wear, decreasing the production of wear metal particles.
- D.
Slows the rate of wear, increasing the production of wear metal particles.
Correct Answer
B. Accelerates the rate of wear, increasing the production of wear metal particles.Explanation
Increased friction between moving parts in the oil system accelerates the rate of wear, increasing the production of wear metal particles. When there is increased friction, the surfaces of the moving parts rub against each other more vigorously, causing more wear. This wear leads to the generation of wear metal particles, which are small metal fragments that are released into the oil system. Therefore, the correct answer is that increased friction accelerates the rate of wear and increases the production of wear metal particles.Rate this question:

- A.
Insufficient oil collection.
- B.
Contaminated samples.
- C.
A minor stomach ache.
- D.
Paralysis or death.
Correct Answer
D. Paralysis or death.Explanation
Using your mouth to draw oil up into the plastic tube during an OAP sample collection can result in paralysis or death. This is because the oil may contain toxic substances or chemicals that can be harmful if ingested. Ingesting these substances can lead to severe health complications, including paralysis or even death. Therefore, it is important to follow proper safety procedures and use the appropriate equipment when collecting oil samples to avoid such risks.Rate this question:
