Only checking the motor voltage and current before installation

Ignoring alignment and focusing on the seal material only

Installing the pump quickly without considering operational parameters

Ensuring the pump is aligned properly with minimal vibration and that the suction and discharge piping are correctly installed

Question 2: What is the proper method for calibrating a gas analyzer in a chemical plant?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Cleaning the sensor components and adjusting the analyzer without testing with standards

Only replacing the gas analyzer filters without recalibrating

Ignoring calibration and adjusting the analyzer only when readings are off

Using calibration gases with known concentrations and adjusting the analyzer's readings accordingly
