What is the size of the crush/shear test probe for openings with movement?

  1. 1/2" (.50)

  2. 5/8" (.62)

  3. 3/4" (.75)

  4. 7/8" (.87)

The correct answer is: 5/8" (.62)

The size of the crush/shear test probe is determined by the amount of movement in the opening. The size should be chosen so that it will not bind in the opening, but also provide a tight fit. Option A (1/2") may be too small and may not provide enough clearance for movement in larger openings. Option C (3/4") and D (7/8") may be too large and not provide a tight enough fit. The correct answer, B (5/8"), is a middle ground and is the most suitable size for openings with movement.
