Right Answer:
The basic working principle of an I/P (Current to Pressure) converter is to convert an electrical current signal (typically 4-20 mA) into a proportional pneumatic pressure output. This pressure is then used to position the control valve. The positioner receives the pressure signal and adjusts the valve's position to ensure it matches the desired setpoint, providing precise control of flow or pressure in the system.

Right Answer:
To calculate the amount of water required for compaction of ordinary soil, a general guideline is to use about 10% to 15% of the dry weight of the soil. For one cubic meter of ordinary soil, assuming a dry density of approximately 1.5 tons/m³, you would need about 100 to 150 liters of water for compaction.

Right Answer:
Stability refers to the ability of a structure or material to maintain its position and resist deformation under load. In the context of thickness, checking stability ensures that the material can withstand stresses without buckling or failing, which is crucial for structural integrity and safety.

Right Answer:
One of my most memorable moments was when I successfully led a team to resolve a critical quality issue in a product just before its launch. We worked long hours, collaborated closely, and ultimately identified the root cause, which not only saved the launch but also improved the product's reliability. Seeing the positive impact of our hard work on the team and the company was incredibly rewarding.

Right Answer:
A centrifugal pump is suitable for water pumping applications.

Right Answer:

Right Answer:
A single acting actuator uses pressure to move in one direction and relies on a spring or gravity to return, while a double acting actuator uses pressure to move in both directions, allowing for more control and force in both actions.

Right Answer:
A civil engineer is a professional who designs, constructs, and maintains infrastructure projects such as roads, bridges, buildings, and water supply systems.

Right Answer:
The Indian Standard code used for billing is IS 1200.

Right Answer:
Dry Lean Concrete (DLC) is used as a sub-base for pavements and roads. Its purpose is to provide a stable and strong foundation, improve load distribution, and reduce the risk of cracking in the surface layer.

Right Answer:
1. **Preparation**: Isolate the valve from the system and depressurize it. Ensure safety protocols are followed.

2. **Disassembly**: Remove the valve from its piping connections. Take off any external accessories like actuators or positioners.

3. **Inspection**: Check all components for wear, damage, or corrosion. Pay special attention to the seat, plug, and seals.

4. **Cleaning**: Clean all parts using appropriate solvents and tools. Remove any debris or buildup.

5. **Replacement**: Replace worn or damaged parts with new ones, including seals, gaskets, and any other necessary components.

6. **Reassembly**: Reassemble the valve carefully, ensuring all components are correctly aligned and tightened to specifications.

7. **Testing**: Conduct functional tests to ensure the valve operates correctly. Check for leaks and proper movement.

8. **Reinstallation**: Reinstall the valve in the system and reconnect all piping and accessories.
