Q.	The axis of rotation of the mould should be horizontal for the casting of long pipes in centrifugal casting.
A.	true
B.	false
Answer» A. true
Explanation: in centrifugal casting, the axis of rotation of the mould can be horizontal, vertical or any angle in between. generally, very long pipes are cast with a horizontal axis, whereas short pieces are more conveniently cast with a vertical axis, as it requires less area for the casting operation.
