What is the difference between mechanical fitter and Mechanical technician?

A couple quid an hour! :)
I was just wondering the same thing and hoped this question had an answer on here. I've just returned from a trade test with Amec for offshore work and there were test papers for mechanical fitters and technicians. it appears to be only offshore where they make a difference between the two. I served my apprenticeship as a mechy fitter, but my trade papers say technician.
I think fitters will be more involved with simple remove and replace jobs. "replace this valve/pump etc"
where as a technician will be more involved with diagnosis and repair/overhaul of mechanical equipment.
that's my take on it. but as often happens in shut downs and hook ups, we all end up doing the same bloody jobs as each other and, as I said at the top of the post, the techs get a bigger wedge at the end of the trip!

A fitter is a practical worker with a knowledge of repairs and repairing.
A mechanical engineer may also know, however he or she may not have the practical experience of the fitter.

Difference between a mechanical coupling and mechanical joint?
mechanical coupling can be called as a mechanical device which is used to connect two mechanical links as well as transmit power between them. mechanical joint is just used to joint two linkages . there is no power or torque transmission between them .
What is the difference between a mechanical mechanism and a non-mechanical mechanism?
the difference between a mechanical and non-mechanical system is that non-mechanial systems is a procedure/process designed to perform a task along with people involved (example, the school system is a non-mechanical system because it involes students, teachers, desk, textbooks etc)a mechanical system is group of physical parts that interact with each other and function as a whole in order to finish the task (example, the TTC system involes the buses, subways, etc)

Difference between pump and turbine?
TURBINES: generate electricity. use an input to obtain mechanical output. PUMPS: Basically create lift in water. Use mechanical input to create an out put
What mechanical difference between bs4 and bs3 diesle engine?
The difference between the bs3 and bs4 diesel engine is how the water is cooled. BS3 vehicles are newer. These are types of vehicles in India.

What is one major difference between electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves?
Mechanical waves require a medium to travel, where electromagnetic waves do not.
What is the difference between conservation of mechanical energy and conservation of total energy?
There is no difference between the two, it's just another way of wording the phrase.
What is the difference between real mechanical advantage and speed ratio?
the difference between the real mechanical advantage and the speed ratio is -the real mechanical advantage gets affected by friction so the real mechanical advantage gets smaller than the mechanical advantage you calculate. so the real mechanical advantage gets smaller than the speed ratio (because of the friction) and that's why the efficiency never gets 100% efficient (efficiency ; mechanical advantage/ speed ratio x 100(%))
