Chapter 5 DIMENSIONS, SURFACES, AND THEIR MEASUREMENT
Multiple Choice Quiz
There are 28 correct answers in this multiple choice quiz (some questions have multiple answers that are correct). To achieve a perfect score on the quiz, all correct answers must be given. Each correct answer is worth 1 point. Each omitted answer or wrong answer reduces the score by 1 point. Percentage score on the quiz is based on the total number of correct answers.
5.1Dimensions are the linear or angular sizes of a component specified on the part drawing: (a) true or (b) false?
5.2A tolerance is which one of the following: (a) clearance between a shaft and a mating hole, (b) measurement error, (c) total permissible variation from a specified dimension, or (d) variation in manufacturing?
5.3When a tolerance is specified in both the positive and negative directions from the nominal dimension, it is called which one of the following: (a) bidirectional tolerance, (b) bifurcated tolerance, (c) bilateral tolerance, (d) limit tolerance, or (e) symmetrical tolerance?
5.4Which of the following two geometric terms have the same meaning: (a) circularity, (b) concentricity, (c) cylindricity, and (d) roundness?
5.5Accuracy isthe degree to which the measured value agrees with the true value of the quantity of interest: (a) true or (b) false?
5.6Precision is the degree of repeatability in the measurement process: (a) true or (b) false?
5.7In inspection, which procedure provides more information: (a) gaging or (b) measurement?
5.8A surface plate is most typically made of which one of the following materials: (a) aluminum oxide ceramic, (b) cast iron, (c) granite, (d) hard polymers, or (e) stainless steel?

5.12Which of the following are likely to be GO/NOGO gages (three correct answers): (a) gage blocks, (b) limit gage, (c) master gage, (d) plug gage, and (e) snap gage?
5.13Surface texture includes which of the following characteristics of a surface (three correct answers): (a) deviations from the nominal surface, (b) feed marks of the tool that produced the surface, (c) hardness variations, (d) oil films, and (e) surface cracks?
5.14Surface texture is included within the scope of surface integrity: (a) true or (b) false?
5.15Surface roughness can be measured as either an arithmetic average (AA) or a root-mean-square (RMS) average. Which value is almost always greater for most surfaces: (a) arithmetic average or (b) root-mean-square average?
