3. &hen manufacturing a new sling! one advantage of a mechanically assembled sling is:
"here is no need to proof load test the sling
4nly samples of the sling need to be tested
"he sling only has to be tested up to the &55
# "he sling components don6t need to be heat treated
,. After assembly and before use a mechanically assembled sling must be:
# Proof load tested

%1. &hat is a difference between the imperial grade ,2 chain and the metric grade , chain(
?etric chain is short link! imperial chain is long link
# "here is no difference! they are identical
>actor of safety of metric chain is ,:% and that of imperial is 1:%
?etric chain is tested to +.1 $ &55! imperial chain is tested to + $ &55
%8. &hy do modern chain sling standards specify links rather than rings as the top fitting(
"hey have greater depth so are not compatible with crane ho
"hey have straight sides to facilitate marking
# "hey cannot turn in service so avoid the load being imposed across the weld
"hey do not distort if overloaded
%0. &hat is one marking reuired on a general purpose two leg chain sling to )S EN '%'*,(
"he effective working length
"he manufacturer6s name or symbol
# "he standard it is made to ie )S EN '%'*,

%'. =f a sling has a grade mark 28! which of the following statements is true(
# =t is a grade 82 sling
All slings of welded construction have this grade mark
Slings of this grade cannot be repaired
Slings of this grade reuire periodic heat treatment
