Q1. At a pulp mill in Prince George, B.C., a millwright must torch-cut seized bolts off a conveyor drive bracket. The hot work permit calls for a fire watch, and a labourer is assigned to stand with the millwright during the cutting. Halfway through, the labourer offers to hand up tools and move the cutting cart as well. What is the main duty of the fire watch?
Worked Explanation: A fire watch does no other work during hot work. They watch for sparks, slag and smouldering material on both sides of the work, put out small fires with the equipment at hand, and raise the alarm if a fire grows. Running the cart, signing the permit or controlling the area takes attention off the sparks, and the permit is signed by the authorized person.
Q2. A millwright at a fan plant in Winnipeg is installing new V-belt sheaves on a motor and fan. The two sheaves have the same face width, and the belts wore out quickly on the last set because the sheaves were not in line. No laser alignment tool is available today. How should the sheave alignment be checked?
Worked Explanation: For sheaves of equal width, a straightedge or tight string across both faces touches at four points when the sheaves are parallel and in line. Sighting by eye, equal shaft spacing or listening to the belts does not prove the sheaves are in line.
Q3. A millwright at a semiconductor supplier in Bromont, Quebec, is planning a new pipe run from a 100 L/s vacuum pump to a process chamber that works at 50 mTorr. The first layout shows 10 m of 2 in. pipe with several elbows. To keep the pumping speed at the chamber close to the pump's rating, what must the piping layout prioritize?
Worked Explanation: At low pressure the pipe's conductance limits the speed at the chamber. Conductance rises steeply with diameter and falls with length and bends, so runs are kept short and straight with the largest practical bore. Flexible hose and long runs lower the conductance, and grease does not help gas flow.
