G3 P3 NARR ANSWERS

Q1
MILLSCALE IS A HARD BLACK / BLUE FLAKEY OXIDES ATTACHED TO THE SURFACE OF STEEL DURNING
THE ROLLING PROCESS—THE OXIDES ARE FORMED AT 580°C AND ARE USULLY 25 TO 100um THICK
THEY ARE
1) WUSTITE Fe O
2) MAGNETITE Fe₃ O₄
3) HAEMATITE Fe₂ O₃
Q2
THE ANODE IS THE +VE CHARGED AREA—IT BECOMES +VE BECAUSE THE ATOMS RELEASE 2
ELECTRONS—SO THE ATOM BECOMES AN ION
THIS CAN BE SHOWN AS Fe →Fe⁺⁺ 2e . THE Fe⁺⁺ IS CALLED A +VE IRON ION
THE ANODE CORRODES DUE TO HYDROXAL IONS FROM THE CATHODE DISSOCIATES IN THE
ELECTROLYTE—THESE PRODUCE HYDROS IRON OXSIDE AT THE ANODE –WHICH IS RUST
Q3
THIXOTROPIC PAINTS ARE
1) ANTI SETTLING AGENT
2) AID TO SELF LIFE
3) JELLY PAINT
4) ALLOW WFT
5) CONTAIN BENETONES AND WAXES
6) TO AID PIGMENT DISPERSION
STOP OR RETARD SETTLEMENT
Q4
TO ENSURE THE PAINT SYSTEM WILL LAST AS LONG AS MANUFACTURERS STATE THE SURFACE HAS
TO BE PREPARED AS PER THE PREPERATION GRADE IN BS 7079
ALSO A PROFILE IS REQUIRED
BY REMOVING ALL THE CONTINATION SUCH AS SALTS THE PAINT SYSTEM WILL LAST 10 YEARS MIN
Q5
DRY ABRASIVES SUCH AS COPPER SLAG - COAL SLAG – SAND- ETC SHATTER ON IMPACT WITH THE
SUBSTRATE AND THERE FORE CAN NOT BE RE-USED
Q6
EXPENDABLE
COPPER SLAG, COAL SLAG, SAND, GLASS BEAD, GARNET -- USED IN OPEN BLAST SYSTEM
REUSABLE
STEEL SHOT, STEEL GRIT, GARNET - CAN BE RECYCLED IN AN ENCLOSED SYSTEM
Q7
1) RED LEAD – TOXIC
2) CALCIUM PLUMBATE – TOXIC
3) COAL TAR – TOXIC
4) ZINC CHROMATE – TOXIC
5) ZINC PHOSPHATE
6) BARIUM METABORATE
7) ZINC PHOSPHOSILICATE
Q8
ADVANTAGES
1) RESISTANCE TO CHEMICALS
2) MOISTURE
3) ELECTRICAL
4) HAS GOOD CO HESIVE STRENGTH
5) WITH STAND TEMPERATURES
DIS ADVANTAGES
1) CHAULKS
2) BRITTLE
3) DIFFICULT TO OVER COAT
4) COST –EXSPENSIVE
Q9
SOLUTION
SOLVANT IS A LIQUID WHICH WILL DISOLVE AN OTHER MATERIAL –SOLID OR LIQUID
A SOLUTE IS THE MATERIAL DISOLVED BY THE SOLVANT
SO THE SOLUTION IS THE REULTING LIQUID
SUCH AS SALT + WATER / SUGAR + WATER / BINDER AND A SOLVANT IS ALSO A SOLUTION
SUSPENSION
IS A TYPE OF DISPERSION
FINE PARTICLES ( NOT DISOLVED ) IN A LIQUID // SUCH AS PIGMENTS IN THE BINDER – VEHICLE OF
THE PAINT
Q10
CONVERTABLE / NON – REVERSABLE MEAN THE SAME
1) NON REVERSABLE – THERMOSETTING – CAN NOT GO BACK TO ORIGINAL STATE- EITHER
CURED BY OXYGEN / CHEMICAL
Q11
WATER BOURNE PAINTS ARE USED BECAUSE OFF
1) NOT HARMFULL TO THE ENVIROMENT
2) NOT HARFULL TO THE OZONE LAYER
3) ABUNDANT – PLENTYFULL SUPPLY
4) RE-CYCLABLE
5) LOW VISCOSITY SO CAN BE APPLIED BY SPRAY-ROLLER-BRUSH
6) CAN BE APPLIED OVER ANY EXISTING PAINT SYSTEM
7) SEVERAL COATS CAN BE APPLIED IN ONE DAY
Q12
1) FLOW VISCOMETER – FORD FLOW CUP-FILL CUP WITH PAINT TO BE TESTED -RELEASE PAINT
VIA HOLE AT BOTTON START STOP WATCH AT 1ST BREAK IN PAINT -- STOP WATCH AND
RECORD TIME—VISCOSITY IS MEASURED IN SECONDS (TIME)
2) ROTATIONAL VISCOMTERS – CONTAINER FILLED WITH PAINT -- SET ON TO MAGNETIC /
TENSION SPRING BASE --LOWER IN PADDLE—THAT IS ROTATING – MAGNETIC / SPRING
WILL BREAK –READ OFF VISCOSTY IN POISE
3) USES WEIGHTS TO ROTATE PADDLE BY ADDING WEIGHTS – WHEN SPEED OF PADDLE
REACHES 200RPM –CHECK WEIGHTS USED AND USE CONVERSION CHARTS TO FIND
KINEMATIC VISCOSITY IN POISE OR CENTI STOKES
Q13
AN EXCENTRIC WHEEL IS USED FOR WET FILM THICKNESS CHECKS
IT CAN BE USED ON FLAT PLAT OR CIRCUMFRENCTIALY AROUND PIPE
Q14
1) WTF + CALCULATIONS
2) MAGNETIC GAUGES
3) DESTRUCTIVE GAUGES
4) TEST PANELS
Q15
OPACITY IS THE HIDING POWER
OPPOSITE TO TRANSPARANCY
CAN BE MEASURED USING
1) PFUND CRYPTOMETERS (2 types)
A) BLACK & WHITE PLATES
B) TROUGH TYPE ,AGAIN USING BLACK & WHITE PLATE
AJUSTABLE BAR APPLICATOR – WITH MICROMETERS AND HIDING POWER CHARTS
