7.4  Keep the cylinders outside the confined space.

 Let there be one person to operate the cylinders outside.
 Keep the fire extinguisher handy
 Light the torch outside before entering the confined space.
 Ensure that there is enough ventilation.
 Check for gas leaks on the hoses. (Any 5 × 1) (5)
[15]
QUESTION 8
8.1 8.1.1 Insulators are materials which do not allow electric current to flow
in it. Examples: wood, PVC, glass, rubber, (etc)
8.1.2 Conductors are materials which allow electric current to flow in it.
Examples: copper, silver, iron, aluminium, (etc)
(2 × 2) (4)
8.2 8.2.1 It is a current which flows in one direction only. (2)
8.2.2 Metal inert gas welding consists of a transformer, an inert gas such
as argon, helium or carbon and the welding gun. (3)
8.2.3 It is the term used when the electrode holder is connected to the
negative pole and the metal being welded connected in to the
positive pole in the direct current welding machine. (2)
8.3  Almost all commercial available welding rods can be used with the direct
current generator.
 The motor generator is not affected by current fluctuations in the power
supply and a stable current can be maintained.
 Cast iron and aluminium can only be welded successfully with the direct
current generator.
 The polarity between the electrode holder and the work being done can be
changed to direct the greater heat to either the electrode or work. (4 × 1) (4)

QUESTION 9
Chain link:
Length required for two straights:

150 mm x 2 = 300 mm
Length required for the two semi-circles:
Circumference = 3,142 x 70 mm
= 219,94 mm
Total length = 300 mm + 219,94 mm
= 519,94 mm
For 20 links: 519,94 mm x 20
10398,8 mm or 10,399 m [8]
