            with the cylinder of the press. 

           Ensure that the direction of pressure is always at 90° to the platform.
           Relieve the cylinder of all pressure after use by opening the valve.

              of the machine until 0,00 is displayed. 
             Insert the silicone hose probe and clamp it into the exhaust tailpiece
              with the stand to the right or left of the exhaust fumes to prevent the
              heat from affecting the stand. 

 7.4       Assemble the equipment and select an appropriate beam and take a
            ruler and a dry-wipe marker, to draw a line across the beam 200 mm
            from the root.
           Add a 10 kg weight hanger onto the dial indicator and slide the dial
            gauge down onto the beam until it reads 10 mm.
           Remove the weight hanger and zero the outer scale using the bezel and
            add 100 g mass to the dial indicator to record the dial indicator reading.
           Increase the previous step until you reach 500 g, increasing the mass in
            100 g increments.
           Plot the graph of deflection (x-axis) versus load (y-axis) to prove the
            relevant theories.                                                                  (5)

 QUESTION 8: MAINTENANCE

 8.1      8.1.1      Viscosity refers to the measure of the resistance  of oil to flow.       (2)

          8.1.2      The lowest temperature at which a liquid remains “pourable”,
                     meaning it still behaves like a fluid.                                    (2)

 8.2       Locate the link in the chain and remove the spring retainer or cotter pins
            and then remove the pin link plate. 
           Chain systems must have their sprockets in alignment before the new
            chain is installed. 
           Failure to do so could result in very expensive repairs later. 
           Select the correct length and size of replacement chain and make sure
            that it is sufficiently lubricated before installation. 
           When the new chain has been run over the sprockets, insert the chain
            link and tension the chain. 
           Never lubricate a chain manually while it is in motion and check for
            alignment to make sure it is running true.                                         (6)

 8.3       Avoid contamination of the cutting fluid by draining and regularly
            replacing it. 
           Always clean the machine’s splash tray of metal cuttings after use. 
           Regularly wipe cutting-fluid splashes off machine parts (only when the
            machine is stationary). 
           Ensure that the sump is topped up from time to time and check that
            there is sufficient flow of cutting fluid to the cutting tool.   (Any 3)            (3)

 8.4       Belts tend to stretch with prolonged use. 
           They need to be tightened periodically and checked for correct
            alignment.                                                                         (2)

 QUESTION 10: TURBINES

 10.1          The impulse turbine changes the velocity of a water jet, which pushes
                on the turbine’s curved blades and changes the direction of the
                flow. 
               The resulting change in momentum (impulse) causes a force on the
                turbine blades. 
               Since the turbine is spinning, the force acts over a distance and the
                diverted water flow is left with diminishing energy. 
               Prior to hitting the turbine blades, the water’s pressure (potential
                energy) is converted to kinetic energy by a nozzle and focused on the
                turbine. 
               No pressure occurs at the turbine blades and the turbine does not
                require a housing for operation.                                          (5)

 10.2          Condensing turbines 
               Non-condensing turbines 
               Reheat turbines 
               Extracting turbines 
               Induction turbines                                                        (5)

 10.3     (a)      Combustion chamber 
          (b)      Intake turbine 
          (c)      Spinner 
          (d)      Ignition 
          (e)      Intake                                                                 (5)

 10.4     A turbine is driven by the exhaust gas from a pump,  most often an
          internal combustion engine, to spin an impeller whose function it is to
          force more air into the pump’s intake or air supply, with a third part
          being a centre hub, rotating assembly, which contains bearings,
          lubrication, cooling and a shaft that directly connects the turbine and
          impeller.  The shaft, bearings, impellers and turbine can rotate at speed
          in tens or hundreds of thousands of RPM (revolutions per minute).               (5)
                                                                                          [20]

                turbinelemme. 
               Omdat die turbine wentel, word die krag oor ŉ afstand uitgeoefen,
                terwyl die weggekeerde water met minder energie gelaat word. 
               Voordat dit die turbinelemme tref, word die waterdruk omgesit in
                kinetiese energie deur ŉ straalpyp wat op die turbinelemme
                gekonsentreer word. 
               Daar vind geen drukverandering by die lemme plaas nie en die
                turbine het dus nie ŉ omhulsel nodig nie.                                   (5)

             die wysermeterlesing aan.

 8.2        Vind die skakel in die ketting en verwyder die verkeerder of sluitpen
             sowel as die penskakelplaat. Dit sal jou instaat stel om die ketting
             uitmekaar te haal en te verwyder.
            Let dat sekere kettingstelsels se kettingrat altyd belyn moet wees, soos
             die nok-en-kruk-as van ŉ motorenjin voordat ŉ ketting geïnstalleer
             word. 
            Nalatigheid wat dit betref, kan groot onkoste later veroorsaak. 
            Kies die ketting van die korrekte lengte en grootte vir ŉ vervangings-
             ketting een maak seker dat dit genoegsaam voor installering gesmeer
             is. 
            Wanneer die nuwe ketting oor die kettingrat getrek is, kan die skakel
             ingesit word en die ketting gespan word. 
            ŉ Ketting moet nooit met die hand gesmeer word terwyl dit beweeg nie
             en kyk altyd na die belyning en sorg dat die ketting glad loop.                        (6)
 8.3      Verhoed dat die snyvloeistof besmet word deur dit gereeld af te tap en te
           vervang. 
          Verwyder altyd ná gebruik alle metaalsnysels uit die masjien se
           spatbak. 
          Verwyder gereeld snyvloeistofspatsels van masjienonderdele. 
          Maak seker dat die opgaarbak van tyd tot tyd bygevul word en dat daar
           ŉ voldoende toevoer van snyvloeistof na die snywerktuig is. (Enige 3)                     (3)
