36
Q

What should be considered when working on systems with capacitors in them

A

The capacitors must be allowed to stand without power supply recommended before any work is carried out as they’re high power supplies

Q

What’s the definition of a sealant

A

Sealing is a process that confines liquids and gasses within a given area
or prevents them from entering areas from which they must be excluded.

40
Q

What are five functions of seals

A

42
Q

What is a seal where sequent is sandwiched between two surfaces

A

Faying surface seals

43
Q

What’s squeeze out time

A

The hours after application when the sealant can be squeezed out
