Question 1 of 27070

The only hand tools that should be used on gas turbine engines are chrome plated, nickel plated, or which of the following?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Spark hazard and ignition sources around gas turbine engines • Properties of different metal platings when struck or dropped (do they spark?) • Why maintenance manuals often require non‑sparking tools in fuel and vapor areas

💭 Think About

• Which type of plating is most likely to produce a spark if tools are dropped or struck together near fuel vapors? • Think about which metals are commonly used for non-sparking tools in hazardous, fuel-rich environments. • Among the options, which plating would be least likely to create an ignition source around a gas turbine?:

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which metals are commonly specified as non-sparking for use in flammable atmospheres (engine rooms, fuel areas, gas turbines). • Eliminate any plating metals known to be hard and spark-producing when impacted (e.g., often used for durability, not safety). • Remember the question: it is asking for the third acceptable type in addition to chrome and nickel plated tools, so it must be one that aligns with safe practice around fuel/air mixtures.
