Experiment No.: 2 MEASUREMENT OF STRAIN
AIM: To determine the Young’s modulus of mild steel using the cantilever beam and strain
gauge setup subjected to static load using Wheatstone bridge for full, half & quarter bridge .
APPARATUS: Strain gauge mounted on a cantilever beam made of steel, strain indicator,
screwdriver, weights & weight pan.
THEORY: If you load any elastic material it will undergo deformation that is, stress & strain
will develop. Stress is defined as internal resisting force offered by a material per unit area
against deformation due to applied force.. And it results in strain.
Strain = Change in length / Original length.
If we plot stress- Vs- strain for ductile material, with in the elastic limit, stress is proportional to
strain this is known as Hook’s law. After elastic limit, plastic deformation starts i.e. after
removing the load, deformation won’t disappear & molecular separation starts inside the
material. This state is known as Yield State.
INSTRUMENTATION CALIBRATION ADJUSTMENT:
The gauge factor dial is set for position 2 & the arm selection switches to position 4.
The select switch is kept in set position. The display reads set gauge factor value without
the decimal point i.e. 2.005 is simply displayed as 2005.
The select switch is kept in measure position. The display reads 0000 otherwise coarse &
fine adjustment is given with the help of screwdriver to set it to zero.
PROCEDURE:
1. The instrument is set for full bridge.
2.
The internal calibration adjustment is made as stated above.3. The pan in the set up is loaded with a load in increments of 100gms each.
4. The strain indicated is recorded from the strain indicator for corresponding loads.5. Now the instrument is set for half bridge and the above procedure is repeated.
6. The readings are tabulated & the graph of stress Vs strain is plotted.

total deflection as a measure of load. The strain gauge measures load in terms of unit strain. Such
device is called load cell, it used to measure heavy loads.
Load cells can be mounted in any elastic member used for measurement of force. For
larger loads the directs tensile – compressive member can be used. For smaller loads using
bending effect can provide strain amplification.
PROCEDURE:
1. Before connecting the indicator, the power source is verified to see whether it matches the
requirement of the indicator as mentioned on its rear panel. The indicator is then switched on
and allowed to warm up for 5 min. The load cell is checked for pre-load and tare the excessload by using the be tare button.
2. The weights are placed on the pan connected to compressive or tensile load cell in steps of
1Kg..
3. The indicator readings are noted.
4. Note down the value of force in Newton from the indicator.
5. The actual value of load is calculated by using the formula.
F = weight on pan x 9.816. The readings are tabulated and checked for errors if any.

GEAR TOOTH VERNIER CALIPER
Date :-
AIM: To determine the gear tooth thickness at pitch line and distance from the top of a tooth to
the chord (depth).
APPARATUS: Gear tooth vernier caliper and Spur gears.
THEORY:
The popular method of measuring gear tooth thickness at pitch line is by using Gear tooth vernier
calliper. The gear tooth vernier calliper consists of two perpendicular vernier arms with vernier
scale on each. One of the arms is used to measure the thickness of the gear tooth and other for
measuring depth. The calliper is so set that it slides on the top of gear tooth under test and the
lower ends of the calliper jaws touch the sides of the tooth at pitch line. The reading thus noted
on vertical arm gives the gear depth and on the horizontal arm gives the tooth thickness. Since
the tooth calliper measures at a right angle or on chordal line. The thickness (t) is slightly less
than the distance along arc of pitch circle. The difference is generally ignored.
PROCEDURE:
1. The pitch circle radius and number of teeth on the gear are noted.
2. The gear tooth vernier caliper is set on the teeth such that the lower ends of the calliper jaws
touch the sides of the tooth at pitch line.
3. The reading on the horizontal vernier gives the value of Chordal thickness and reading on
vertical vernier arm gives the value of Chordal addendum or working depth.
4. The measured value is then compared with the theoretical value and hence the calliper is
calibrated for errors, if any.
Theoretical value is calculated using the formulae.
1) Chordal thickness
W = 2xR sin

MEASUREMENT OF EFFECTIVE DIAMETER
BY THREE WIRE METHOD
AIM: To determine the effective diameter of screw thread using 3-wire method.
APPARATUS: -
Measurement of effective diameter is the most important of all the experiment in perfect
fitting and in making threads on threaded fastners. There are various methods of measuring pitch
diameter or effective diameter, but the most common method of measuring pitch diameter is two
wire method and three wire method. In this methods small rods or wires are placed on the threads
& measurements are then made over & under the wires with the micrometer or any other
accurate measuring instrument. These wires are made up of hardened steel & given a high degree
of accuracy & finish to suit different pitches. For each pitch there is a best size of wire. If best
size of wire is used the wire makes contact with the flanks of thread on the pitch line & this
method ensures the alignment of micrometer angle faces parallel to the thread axis. Therefore
this method of measuring effective diameter is more accurate.
Effective diameter It is a diameter of imaginary co-axial cylinder which interact the flank
of thread such that width of the threads & width of the space between the threads are equal &
each being the half of the pitch.
PROCEDURE:
1. Three wires of equal and precise diameter are selected.
2. Out of the 3 wires in the set two are placed on one side & the third on the other side on the
screw. These wires are held in position over the threads either by applying grease or stickingthe ends of wires in wax or Vaseline.
3. The micrometer is used to measure the distance ‘M’ as shown.
4. Using the known values of pitch, thread angle and wire diameter the effective diameter of the
screw thread is determined as follows.

LATHE TOOL DYNAMOMETER.
Date :
Aim: To measure the cutting forces during turning process.
Instruments used: Lathe Tool Dynamometer setup in the lathe.
Theory:
Lathe Tool Dynamometer is the device used to measure the cutting forces during the
turning (machining) in the lathe. In a two dimensional orthogonal cutting process, we have two
cutting forces viz.
a) Tangential or cutting force FH
b) Vertical or feed force FV.
In a three dimensional turning process we come across three components of cutting forces, viz.
a) Tangential (horizontal) cutting force FH
b) Vertical or feed force FV and
c) Radial force FR .
These three forces are measured using a LTD where in strain gauges are fixed and using a wheat
stone bridge, the variation in resistance in the strain gauges, which are calibrated in terms of
force are measured.

Linear Variable Differential Transformer(LVDT)
Date:
AIM: To calibrate the given LVDT
APPARATUS: LVDT, displacement micrometer of LVDT
THEORY:
LVDT is a basically a mutual – inductance type transducer with variable coupling between
the primary and secondary coils. It is a mechanical displacement transducer.
The center coil of LVDT also knows as primary coil (1) is energized from an AC power
source of input voltage ei. The two end coils knows as secondary coil (2) are connected in phase
opposition and are used as pickup coils. LVDT has one core (3) also which is attached to the
moving object whose displacement is to be measured. The soft iron core provides the magnetic
coupling between the primary coil and secondary coils.
The core is free to move inside the coil in either direction from the null position. When
the primary coil is excited by a AC supply and the core lies in central / null position, the induced
EMF in the secondary coil are equal in magnitude. However the net output e0 is zero, because the
two secondary coils are connected together in phase opposition.
As the core moves towards left or right from the central position, the induced voltage of
one secondary coil increases while that of other decreases.
The output voltage is the difference of two service secondary are in opposition. The
output is proportional to displacement of core. It can be seen that with in limits, on either side of
the null position (N), core displacement result in proportional output. In general, the linear range
is primarily dependent on the length of secondary coils.

LVDT is widely used for measuring pressure, load, displacement, acceleration etc. LVDT also
finds application as the basic element in extensometers, electronic comparators, thickness
measuring units and level indicators.
PROCEDURE :
The various connections are made and core is adjusted to new position by adjusting
micrometer. A set of the reading are noted till the core reaches the extreme left position in “h”
cell position, the corresponding voltage is noted down at regular intervals. Similarly a set of
readings are noted when the core moves to the right of null position. The performance
characteristics curve for LVDT is plotted and linear range is determined.

CALIBRATION OF EXTERNAL MICROMETER
Date :
AIM : - To calibrate the given external micrometer screw thread for Progressive
and Periodic pitch errors by using Slip gauges as standard.
APPARATUS : Micrometer ( 0-25mm range ), Slip gauge set, clean dry soft
cloth, cleaning agent like petrolgel.
THEORY :
Since micrometers are most widely used for precision measurement in the average
workshop, their close tolerance and accuracy are of atmost importance. A common fault in a
micrometer is zero error, i.e. a reading is indicated when there is no gap between anvil and
spindle. Even allowing for the zero error, if a number of accurate Slip gauges is measured with
all due precautions by the micrometer, a very slight discrepancies between the gap width and
corresponding micrometer reading are often discovered. Should this be due to Slackness and end
float of the spindle screw, it can be easily rectified by tightening the taper nut on the outside of
the partially slotted hub nut which then contracts to fit the micrometer screw more closely. If
zero error remains after this adjustment, lt will be due to wear of the measuring faces. This can
usually be corrected, although often it is deliberately left alone and allowed for, either by
adjustment of the screw in hub nut or anvil, or by rotation of the thimble relative to the spindle,
depending on the design of the micrometer.
If there is no slackness and end float of the spindle screw, then pitch errors or eccentricity of the
thimble account for the slightly wrong readings. Even the screw of a new micrometer is
sometimes subjected to progressive and periodic errors.

PROGRESSIVE ERROR :
If the pitch of the thread is longer or shorter than its nominal value such errors are called
progressive error. This type of errors occurs when
i.
Tool – work velocity ratio is incorrect.
ii. Change in length due to hardening by error in the pitch of the lead screw.
iii. Due to fault in the saddle guide ways.
iv. Due to the use of an in correct gear train between – work and Tool.
v. The Progressive errors are – progressive in nature as the length of axis – increasing
errors almost obeys straight line path.
PERIODIC ERRORS :
Periodic errors are those which vary in magnitude along the length of the thread – and
repeats at regular intervals. If they recur – regularly in every revolution of the thread it is called
drunken thread. Errors of this type are – most frequently caused by lack of squareness in the
thrust bearing of the lead screw used to produce the thread. If the pitch of the screw being cut is
not equal to that of lead screw, this fault in the thrust bearing will cause a periodic error,
recurring at other intervals. Velocity ratio between work and the tool. Such a errors are
determined by measuring along a line parallel to helix other sources of periodic errors are
eccentric mounting of the gears, errors in the teeth of the gear etc.
As a micrometer screw rarely wears evenly in service, erratic pitch error develop
eventually and, since only about a third of the screwed length engages with the hub nut at any
time, the resulting errors of the readings are difficult to predict. The actual correction required
for any reading will be progressive, or erratic errors indicated for the particular reading.

PROCEDURE :
1. Check the micrometer for smooth running of spindle throughout its length, if necessary,
adjust the wear compensating arrangement to eliminate any backlash.
2. Clean the micrometer anvil carefully.
3. Note down the initial error in the micrometer. This can be done by taking reading with
micrometer anvil and spindle faces in contact.
4. Slip gauges are made ready ten minutes before required and these can be held with the help
of clean dry soft cloth during use.
5. For progressive error take a reading of micrometer by placing slip gauges 2.5 to 25mm in
steps of 2.5 in between spindle faces of micrometer and tabulate the readings in the tabular
column.
6. Periodic errors in micrometer is found by placing slip gauges 2.1 to 2.9 in steps of 0.1mm
and 20 to 20.5mm insteps of 0.1mm in between spindle and anvil faces of micrometer. The
readings for periodic error are taken at two positions of the spindle, one near each end of its
travel.
7. Note that while taking reading on micrometer faces by means of ratchet mechanism. (usually
two slip of ratchet while taking reading on micrometer indicates uniform pressure on faces).
8.
Plot the following graphs.
a) Progressive error Vs Nominal slip gauge used.
b) Combination error Vs Nominal slip gauge used.
c) Periodic error Vs Nominal slip gauge used.
