FOREWORD

The Government of India has set an ambitious target of imparting skills to 30 crores people, one out of every
four Indians, by 2020 to help them secure jobs as part of the National Skills Development Policy. Industrial
Training Institutes (ITIs) play a vital role in this process especially in terms of providing skilled manpower.
Keeping this in mind, and for providing the current industry relevant skill training to Trainees, ITI syllabus
has been recently updated with the help of Mentor Councils comprising various stakeholder's viz. Industries,
Entrepreneurs, Academicians and representatives from ITIs.

The National Instructional Media Institute (NIMI), Chennai has now come up with instructional material to
suit the revised curriculum for Mechanic Diesel - Volume I of II - Trade Practical - NSQF Level - 4 in
Automotive Sector under annual Pattern. The NSQF Level - 4 Trade Practical will help the trainees to
get an international equivalency standard where their skill proficiency and competency will be duly recognized
across the globe and this will also increase the scope of recognition of prior learning. NSQF Level - 4
trainees will also get the opportunities to promote life long learning and skill development. I have no doubt
that with NSQF Level - 4 the trainers and trainees of ITIs, and all stakeholders will derive maximum benefits
from these IMPs and that NIMI's effort will go a long way in improving the quality of Vocational training in the
country.

PREFACE
The National Instructional Media Institute (NIMI) was established in 1986 at Chennai by then Directorate
General of Employment and Training (D.G.E & T), Ministry of Labour and Employment, (now under Directorate
General of Training, Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship) Government of India, with technical
assistance from the Govt. of the Federal Republic of Germany. The prime objective of this institute is to
develop and provide instructional materials for various trades as per the prescribed syllabi under the Craftsman
and Apprenticeship Training Schemes.

The instructional materials are created keeping in mind, the main objective of Vocational Training under
NCVT/NAC in India, which is to help an individual to master skills to do a job. The instructional materials are
generated in the form of Instructional Media Packages (IMPs). An IMP consists of Theory book, Practical
book, Test and Assignment book, Instructor Guide, Audio Visual Aid (Wall charts and Transparencies) and
other support materials.

The trade practical book consists of series of exercises to be completed by the trainees in the workshop.
These exercises are designed to ensure that all the skills in the prescribed syllabus are covered. The trade
theory book provides related theoretical knowledge required to enable the trainee to do a job. The test and
assignments will enable the instructor to give assignments for the evaluation of the performance of a trainee.
The wall charts and transparencies are unique, as they not only help the instructor to effectively present a
topic but also help him to assess the trainee's understanding. The instructor guide enables the instructor to
plan his schedule of instruction, plan the raw material requirements, day to day lessons and demonstrations.

IMPs also deals with the complex skills required to be developed for effective team work. Necessary care
has also been taken to include important skill areas of allied trades as prescribed in the syllabus.

The availability of a complete Instructional Media Package in an institute helps both the trainer and
management to impart effective training.

The IMPs are the outcome of collective efforts of the staff members of NIMI and the members of the Media
Development Committees specially drawn from Public and Private sector industries, various training institutes
under the Directorate General of Training (DGT), Government and Private ITIs.

NIMI would like to take this opportunity to convey sincere thanks to the Directors of Employment & Training
of various State Governments, Training Departments of Industries both in the Public and Private sectors,
Officers of DGT and DGT field institutes, proof readers, individual media developers and coordinators, but for
whose active support NIMI would not have been able to bring out this materials.

INTRODUCTION

TRADE PRACTICAL

The trade practical manual is intented to be used in practical workshop . It consists of a series of practical
exercises to be completed by the trainees during the Course of the Mechanic Diesel Trade supplemented and
supported by instructions/ informations to assist in performing the exercises. These exercises are designed
to ensure that all the skills in compliance with NSQF LEVEL - 4 syllabus are covered.

This manual is divided into Seven modules. The distribution of time for the practical in the Seven modules are
given below.

Module 1 Safety workshop practices 50 Hrs


Module 2 Measuring & marking Practice 100 Hrs
Module 3 Fastening & Fitting 125 Hrs
Module 4 Electrical and Electronics 100 Hrs
Module 5 Arc & Gas welding 75 Hrs
Module 6 Hydraulics and Pneumatics 50 Hrs
Module 7 Specifications and service equipments 25 Hrs
Total 525 Hrs

The skill training in the shop floor is planned through a series of practical exercises centred around some
practical project. However, there are few instances where the individual exercise does not form a part of project.

While developing the practical manual a sincere effort was made to prepare each exercise which will be easy
to understand and carry out even by below average trainee. However the development team accept that there
is a scope for further improvement. NIMI looks forward to the suggestions from the experienced training faculty
for improving the manual.

TRADE THEORY

The manual of trade theory consists of theoretical information for the Course of the Mechanic Diesel Trade.
The contents are sequenced according to the practical exercise contained in NSQF LEVEL - 4 syllabus on
Trade practical. Attempt has been made to relate the theoretical aspects with the skill covered in each exercise
to the extent possible. This correlation is maintained to help the trainees to develop the perceptional capabilities
for performing the skills.

The Trade Theory has to be taught and learnt along with the corresponding exercise contained in the manual
on trade practical. The indications about the corresponding practical exercises are given in every sheet of this
manual.

It will be preferable to teach/learn the trade theory connected to each exercise atleast one class before
performing the related skills in the shop floor. The trade theory is to be treated as an integrated part of each
exercise.

The material is not for the purpose of self learning and should be considered as supplementary to class room
instruction.

Skill Sequence

Holding the workpiece


Objectives: This shall help you to
• holding the work piece
• fixing of hacksaw blades.

Holding the workpiece: Position the metal to be cut


according to the cross-section i.e a plate, a pipe or a
channel for hacksawing.
As far as possible the job is held so as to be cut on the
flat side rather than the edge or the corner. This reduces
the blade breakages. (Fig 1, 2 and 3)

The selection of the blade depends on the shape and


hardness of the material to be cut.
Pitch selection: For soft materials such as bronze, brass
soft steel, cast iron etc. use a 1.8 mm pitch blade. (Fig.4)
For steel use a 1.4 mm pitch. For angle iron, brass tubing,
copper, iron pipe etc. use a 1 mm pitch blade. (Fig.5)
For conduit and other thin tubing, sheet metal work etc.
use a 0.8 mm pitch. (Fig 6)

60 Automotive: Mechanic Diesel (NSQF LEVEL - 4) - Exercise 1.3.27

Scraping curved surfaces


Objective : This shall help you to
• scrape and test curved surfaces.

A half round scraper is the most suitable scraper for


scraping curved surfaces. This method of scraping differs
from that of flat scraping.
Method
For scraping curved surfaces the handle is held by hand
in such a way as to facilitate the movement of the scraper
in the required direction. (Fig 1)

After each pass, change the direction of cutting. This


ensures a uniform surface. (Figs 3 & 4)

Pressure is exerted with the other hand on the shank for


cutting.
Rough scraping will need excessive pressure with longer
strokes.
For fine scraping, pressure is reduced and the stroke length
also becomes shorter.
Cutting action takes place both on forward and return
strokes. (Fig 2)
During the forward movement one cutting edge acts, and
on the return stroke, the other cutting edge acts.

88 Automotive: Mechanic Diesel (NSQF LEVEL - 4) - Exercise 1.3.33

Automotive: Mechanic Diesel (NSQF LEVEL - 4) - Exercise 1.3.33 89


The angle of each cutting edge is 60°.

Re-sharpening is done on an oilstone and the method


adopted is similar to that for the half round scraper.

While grinding, the movement should be such that it tapers


to a point with a uniform movement.

The cutting edges of three-square scrapers are likely to


be overheated quickly as they are very thin.

Apply only light pressure.

Maintain the cutting edge width to about 3 mm. (Fig 6)

A three-square scraper is very sharp instrument


and has to be handled carefully.

Flatten the sharp tip for about 1 mm for safety


while handling. (Fig 7)

2 Connect the test lamp clip to a good ground.
3 Touch the probe of the test lamp on either end of the
fuse. If the test lamp lights, the fuse is in good
condition.

If the test lamp lights only while touching one


side that means the fuse is defective. If the test
lamp does not light even on touching both the
sides that means the power source is not on or
the ground connection is bad.

4 Remove the fuse from its spring clip. Check whether


it is blown or not.

If it is blown we can see through the glass tube.

If the fuse is blown due to short circuit the


colour of glass tube becomes black (1) and the

Open square butt joint


Objectives: At the end of this exercise you shall be able to
• set and tack-weld the pieces as open square butt joint
• hold the electrode at the required angle and move it at uniform speed along the joint
• clean and inspect the open square butt weld.

Tack at both ends is done so that the joint will be in proper


alignment (Fig 1). A higher current of 110 ampere current
is set to ensure good fusion of the edges and avoid defects
at the tacks.

The slag at the root of the first run will have to be cleaned
properly, otherwise slag inclusion defect will occur, when
welding is done on the otherside of the joint.

While depositing the second run ensure proper fusion to a


depth of 3 to 3.5mm is obtained so as to avoid lack of fusion
defect at the meeting point of the 2 beads. Fig.3
Selection of a 3.15mm dia. medium coated MS
electrode and 110 amps current setting will
help to maintain smaller molten pool.

Proper angles of electrode is essential to ensure the


molten slag can be kept away from the weld pool and the

Proceed along the welding line with uniform travel speed
and short arc to get uniform fusion and root penetration.

The slag has to be removed thoroughly from


the root run so that the slag inclusion defect can
be avoided in the next run.

Use a slightly side-to-side weaving motion. (Fig.3) The


width of weave should give a leg size of 10mm.

Check the alignment of the ‘T’ joint after tacking.


Welding a ‘T’ fillet joint
Use a channel to place the joint in a flat position. (Fig 2)

Maintain the same electrode angle as in the root bead.

If the leg size is less than 10mm then deposit a


third run using the same technique used for the
second run.

Clean the final covering bead thoroughly.


Stop the electrode weaving for a moment at the toes of the
weld to avoid undercut. Fill the crater at the end of the bead.
Inspection of fillet weld
Inspect the fillet welds for defects, correct shape and size
of fillet and equal leg length on either side of the weld.

The electrode angle of 450 will help to fuse both


plates equally and the 800 angle will help to get
a good root penetration.

PROCEDURE

Setting up oxy-acetylene plant Fig 1 Move oxygen and acetylene cylinders with the caps from
the store to the gas welding area. An oxygen cylinder is
identified by the black colour painted on it. An acetylene
cylinder is identified by the maroon colour painted on it.
Also the oxygen cylinder will be taller than an acetylene
cylinder and the diameter of oxygen cylinder will be less
than the diameter of an acetylene cylinder.
Ensure full cylinders are kept separately from the empty
cylinders.
Position the gas cylinders in a trolley and secure them with
a chain.
Always keep the cylinders upright/vertically in the cylinder

• conduct liquid penetrate testing
• conduct magnetic particle testing.

• Engine block - 1 No. • Cleaning cloth - as reqd.
• Other auto components - as reqd. • Detergents - as reqd.
• Cylinder head - 1 No. • Organic solvents - as reqd.
• Dye penetrant, cleaning cloth
and detergent cleaner - as reqd.
• Wire brush, Putty knife - 1 No.

PROCEDURE

TASK 1 : liquid penetrate testing

1 To inspect for cracks, use a dye penetrant, to check


the combustion chambers, intake ports, exhaust ports
and cylinder block surface. (Fig 1)

The surface must be free of oil, grease, water,


or other contaminants that may prevent
penetrant from entering flaws.
2 Remove organic oils with cleaner. Remove scale, rust
and dirt by using scrach brissle with a putty knife and
wire brush. (Fig 2 & Fig 3)

Spray Cleaner/Remover directly on the surface,


saturating the contaminants area. Let it remain
for about 30 seconds, while organic soils
dissolve.

152
3 Wipe clean with a dry towel or cloth before the Cleaner/
Remover evaporates completely. Repeat until clean.

Important: Following the cleaning process,


allow sufficient time for the cleaner/Remover
to evaporate completely from cracks or other
surface openings before applying Dye
penetrant. (Fig 4 & Fig 5)

Dye penetrant is pulled into the crack by


capillary force.
After the dye has been given enough time to
penetrate the suspected area of defect or
cracking, use clean cloths and wipe the area
clean of dye as best you can.
6 Use the cloths repeatedly to wipe away the excess
dye. Once the test area is free of visible dye,spray the
aerosol cleaner on another clean cloth and wipe the
test area thoroughly and then let the cleaner evaporate.
Important: Do not spray Cleaner/Remover
directly on the surface to remove excess dye
penetrant. Doing so risks removing penetrant
from flaws.
7 Shake the spray vigorously can to restore fully the white
developer particle suspension.
8 Spraying is the ONLY recommended method of
applying developer.
9 Apply an even, light, slightly damp coating.
The goal is to spray a light, even coat which is

As soon as the developer has dried, indications
of flaws (if present) will appear. (Fig 1)
The need for a longer developing time is
essential if extremely tight cracks are
suspected.

14 Observe a vertical crack at the head bolt hole which is


running to small water jacket hole above it that is
between the valves, and also observe cracks running
to the value seat inserts.

It is plain to see that the developer did a good


job of pulling the dye out of these cracks so
they could be seen.

14 Repair/Replace the part if you observe red lines on it.


15 Remove the white developer powder remaining on the
surface before subsequent processing or use of the
part. After this final step, the surface is extremely clean
and treat the metal to prevent corrosion.

Use respirator pad to avoid direct inhalation


of chemicals and vapours.
