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!
What else can I help you with?
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 the difference between a mechanical heart valve versus a biological valve?
mechanical can hold up to life but medication is needed every day for life biological is a more normal life but have to re op. 10- 20 years gl
What is the difference between electronic and mechanical?
An electronic stopwatch gives a higher accuracy than a mechanical stop watch.

What is the difference between mechanical engineering and mechanical sandwich engineering?
In mechanical sandwich we are having placement and training in 5th and 8th Semester.
What is the difference between electrical and mechanical instrument?
mechanical moves it self electrical bad noise
What is the difference between primary and secondary transducers?
the difference between both are: Primary transducer:The Mechanical device which converts physical quantity to be measured into a mechanical signal. Secondary tranducer:The Electrical device which converts this mechanical signal to the electrical signal.
What is the main difference between mechanical and electromagnetic waves on Jiskha?
The main difference between mechanical and electromagnetic waves is how they travel. Mechanical waves require a medium, such as air or water, to propagate, while electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum.
What is the primary difference between mechanical and electromagnetic waves?
The primary difference between mechanical and electromagnetic waves is how they travel. Mechanical waves require a medium, such as air or water, to propagate, while electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum, like in space.
What is the difference between scientific and mechanical calculators?
scientific calculators have scientific calculations such as scientific notation, but mechanical ones dont.
What is the difference between mechanical engineer and manufacturing engineer?
Manufacturing is a specific branch of mechanical engineering that deals with manufacturing processes.
What is the difference between chemical and mechanical weathering in deserts?
suck a dick ;)
What is the number one difference between mechanical and electromagnetic waves?
The main difference between mechanical and electromagnetic waves is that mechanical waves require a medium (such as air or water) to travel through, while electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum (empty space) because they do not require a medium.
Difference between electrical and mechanical degree what is it how 2 calculate. and its significance?
difference between electrical degree & mechanical degreeθed = (p/2)θmdwhere:θed = elec degreesθmd = mech degreesp = number of poles in the machine
