The allowance provided to a pattern for easy withdrawal from a sand mold is

  • A.finishing allowance
  • B.shrinkage allowance
  • C.distortion allowance
  • D.shake allowance

Answer: D

It is the shake allowance.

Before a pattern is lifted out of the sand, it is rapped or shaken so that it loosens, which slightly enlarges the mould cavity. The shake (rapping) allowance compensates for that enlargement; because it acts the opposite way to the other allowances, the pattern is made slightly smaller to allow for it.

The finishing (machining) allowance provides extra metal for machining, the shrinkage allowance makes up for contraction on cooling, and the distortion allowance counteracts warping of irregular castings. None of them is about withdrawing the pattern.
