    TITLE: -Study about static characteristics of measuring instruments.

    AIM: - To gain knowledge of terminology related with Metrology.

    What is Metrology?

    Metrology is the scientific study of measurements. Measurements come in all

    forms. Gemstones can be measured for hardness or carat size. Pieces of wood can

    be measured for length. Electricity can be measured in amps, volts, and watts.

    Mechanical metrology concentrates on standardizing acoustics,

    force/pressure, vibration, volume, density, and dimensions. As Asian companies

    begin sweeping the country in terms of inexpensive manufacturing, other companies

    are relying on mechanical metrology to help them compete. With a set of standards

    in place, customers can buy products from any country and know they will be gettingparts with universal measurements. This helps keep repair costs competitive.

    As early as the 1950s, businesses worldwide determined that there was a

    need to bring unity to measurement in the manufacturing process. As a result, the

    International Organization of Legal Metrology was created in 1955. Today, dozens of

    countries are members of the organization and share a common goal, to unify

    manufacturing and business throughout the world.

    With so many countries competing for the market share of manufacturing

    business, metrology is essential to keep the market competitive. Having unifiedmeasurements can help with repair costs in the future and ensure that products can

    be used worldwide without difficulty. Many organizations hold international

    conventions where metrology members can share ideas and concerns, and compare

    notes. These metrology conventions are becoming a popular means for unifying the

    wide array of measurements used throughout the world.

    Over the past decade, there has been an increased need for metrology in

    chemistry labs. Metrology of chemistry makes it possible to create strong processes

    for quality control of many goods manufactured worldwide. As pollution controls

    increase, there is an intense need to regulate worldwide emission controls.

    Metrology of chemistry helps ensure that different countries utilize chemicals in a

    manner that protects the environment. Chemistry metrology helps define standards

    to be used in gas/air mixtures, gas analyzers, inorganic materials, spectrometry, and

    microanalysis.

    Accuracy: -It is the nearness of the indicated value to the true value of thequantity being measured.

    Precision: - It defines the degree of refinement with which a measured value is

    stated.

    Threshold: -The smallest measurable input while the resolution defines the smallestmeasurable input change.

    Resolution:- When the input is slowly increased from arbitrary(Non-zero) input value, it is observed that the output does not change at all until acertain increment is exceeded; this increment is calledresolution or discriminationof the output.

    Sensitivity: -It is the ratio of the change in output signal to a change in inputquantity.

    Linearity: - It is the proportionality between input quantity and output signal.

    Drift: -It is a slow variation in output signal of a measuring system which is not dueto any change in input quantity.

    Dead zone: - Dead zone is caused by backlash and hysteresis in the instrument.

    Range: - The difference between the largest and the smallest reading of theinstrument is called the range of an instrument. The Range is expressed by statingthe lower and upper values.

    Span: - Span represents the algebraic difference between the upper and lowerrange values of the instrument.

    Quiz:

    Difference between Accuracy and Precision.

    A 0-50V voltmeter has accuracy 2% of f.s.d. what reading will it indicate wheninput voltage is 30V.

    Now 2 % accuracy of f.s.d. means 1 V; therefore the voltmeter will indicate either

    29V or 31V.. Ans.

    The sensitivity of a thermo-couple is 0.03 mill volt per C. for a temperature

    difference of 10 C. What will be the difference in its voltage?

    A voltmeter has 100 equal divisions, full scale reading 200V. it is possible to

    detect 1/10 of a division easily. Find resolution.

    Now 1 scale division = 200/100=2V. Resolution = 1/10*2=0.2VAns.

    The car speedometer does not indicate any reading below 20 km/hr. The

    maximum reading indicate by it is 160 km/hr, find out the range and dead zone of

    the meter.

    A transducer measures a range of 0-200n force with a resolution of 0.15 percent

    full scale. What is the smallest change which can be measured this transducer?.

    Determine the resolution of a moving coil voltmeter having a uniform scale with

    50 divisions; the full scale reading is 50V and 1/10 of a scale division can be

    estimated with a fair degree of certainty.

    AIM:-Measurement of diameters, length and height of various machines parts using(i) Vernier calipers (ii) Dial vernier (iii) Digital vernier calipers (iv) Height gauge

    APPARATUS:- Vernier calipers, Dial vernier, Digital vernier, Vernier height gauge,Rectangular MS block, connecting rod, gear etc.

    VERNIER CALIPERS:

    TERM BRIEF DEFINITION

    CaliperA tool that can be used to measure outside dimensions, inside

    dimensions, or depths of holes.

    Instrument

    least count

    The size of the smallest division on a scale. For the main scale on

    the common vernier caliper this is probably 0.1 cm. With the vernier

    scale the least count might be 0.002 cm.

    Main Scale

    The scale on the larger, fixed portion of the caliper. It gives the

    most significant digits in the reading. Make the reading to the nearest

    least count of the main scale opposite the zero of the vernier.

    Vernierscale

    The scale on the smaller sliding portion of the caliper. It gives the

    least significant digits in the reading, and sub-divides a mark on the

    main scale into 10, 20, or 50 subdivisions. Read the vernier scale at

    the point where a vernier line and a main scale line best line up.

    Combine the main scale reading with the vernier scale reading to get

    a final reading.

    CONSTRUCTION:

    The vernier caliper consists of two scales:

    One is fixed while other is movable. The fixed scale called main scale is calibrated

    on L-shaped frame and carries a fixed jaw. The movable scale called vernier scale

    slides over the main scale and carries a movable jaw. In addition, an arrangement is

    provided to lock the sliding scale on the fixed main scale. For the precise setting of

    movable jaw, an adjustment screw is provided.

    PROCEDURE:

    Before using the instrument, it should be checked for zero error. The zero line on

    vernier scale should coincide with zero on the main scale. Then take the reading in

    mm on main scale to the left of zero on the main scale.

    Now count the number of division on the vernier scale from zero to a line, which

    exactly coincides, with any line on main scale. From the figure, we can observe that

    the 41stdivision exactly coincides the main scale.

    The total reading is now = Main scale reading+

    MECHANICAL MEASUREMENT AND METROLOGY

    S.P.B.PATEL ENGINEERING COLLEGE

    CONSTRUCTION:

    The Dial vernier itself suggests that dial is provided for measurement. Its

    construction is same as the vernier calipers. One fixed scale on which movable scale

    is provided. According to the movement of vernier scale the dial, indicate the

    reading.

    DIGITAL VERNIER:

    The Vernier Caliper is a precision instrument that can be used to measure internal

    and external distances extremely accurately. The example shown below is a digital

    vernier caliper as the distances are read from a LCD display.

    The most important parts have been labeled. Earlier versions of this type of

    measuring instrument had to be read by looking carefully at the imperial or metric

    scale and there was a need for very good eyesight in order to read the small sliding

    scale. Manually operated vernier calipers can still be bought and remain popular

    because they are much cheaper than the digital version. Also, the digital version

    requires a small battery whereas the manual version does not need any power

    source.

    Digital vernier calipers are easier to use as the measurement is clearly displayed and

    by pressing the inch/mm button, the distance can be read as metric or imperial.

    MECHANICAL MEASUREMENT AND METROLOGY

    S.P.B.PATEL ENGINEERING COLLEGE

    PROCEDURE OF MEASUREMENT:

    The display is turned on with the on/off button. The external jaws should then be

    brought together until they touch and the zero buttons should be pressed. The

    vernier caliper can then be used to measure distances. Always go through this

    procedure when turning on the display for the first time.

    Measuring External Distances:

    The material to be measured is placed between the external jaws and they are

    carefully brought together. The locking screw is tightened so that the jaws do notmove apart. The digital display can then be read. The distance can be read by in

    metric and imperial by pressing the inch/mm button.

    Measuring internal distance:

    MECHANICAL MEASUREMENT AND METROLOGY

    S.P.B.PATEL ENGINEERING COLLEGE

    The example below shows a vernier calipers being used to measure the internal

    diameter of a piece of copper tube. The internal jaws are adjusted carefully until they

    touch the internal sides. The locking screw is tightened so that an accurate

    measurement can be made even if the jaws are knocked against the sides as the

    jaws are removed from the hole. The measurement is shown on the LCD display.

    Measuring Depth:

    Measuring the depth of a hole can be very difficult. However, using a vernier caliper

    makes this task easy. The base of the vernier caliper rests on the top of the hole and

    the depth-measuring blade is adjusted until it touches the bottom of the hole. The

    locking screw is tightened and the measurement can be read on the LCD display.

    VERNIER HEIGHT GAUGE:

    CONSTRUCTION:

    A finely ground and lapped base, the base is massive and robust in construction to

    ensure rigidity and stability. A vertically graduated beam or column supported on a

    massive base. Attached beam is a sliding vernier and head the vernier scale and a

    clamping screw. The auxiliary head, which is also calculated to the beam above

    sliding vernier head. A measuring jaw or scriber attached to the front of sliding

    vernier. Procedure for vernier height gauge: It is same as vernier caliper but the

    vernier height gauge is measured height from the reference.

    PRECAUTIONS:

    First clean vernier caliper by wiping of oil, dust, grit etc.

    Clean the two jaws with clean piece of papers.

    Set the zero reading of the instrument to be the measure between two jaws.

    While measuring dimensions of vernier caliper, it must move carefully.

    Hold the past whose dimension is to measure between two jaws.

    PRACTICAL NO: - 03

    AIM: - Measurement of diameters and length of various machine parts using outside

    micrometers and inside micrometer.

    APPARATUS: -

    Outside micrometer [0-25mm]

    Outside micrometer [25-50mm]

    Inside micrometer [0-25mm]

    Inside micrometer [25-50mm]

    Screw thread micrometer

    Various machined parts.

    THEORY: -

    INTRODUCTION: -

    It is one of the most common & most popular forms of measuring instrument for

    precise measurement with 0.01 mmaccuracy. In addition, micrometer screw gauges

    are available with 0.001 mmaccuracy.

    It classify as:-

    Outside micrometer

    Inside micrometer

    Screw thread micrometer

    Depth gauge micrometer.

    PRINCIPLE OF MICROMETER: -

    The micrometer works on the principle of screw & nut. We know that when screw

    is turned through one revolution it advances by one pitch distance i.e. one

    revolution of screw corresponds to a linear movement of a distance equal to pitch of

    the thread.

    COMPONENTS AND THEIR FUNCTIONS: -

    U-SHAPED STEEL FRAME: -The outside micrometer has U shaped & C

    shaped frame. It holds all the micrometer parts together. It is made of

    steel C.I.

    ANVIL AND SPINDLE: - The micrometer has fixed anvil protruding 3mm

    from the left hand side of frame. Its diameter is same as spindle.

    15/69

    MECHANICAL MEASUREMENT AND METROLOGY

    S.P.B.PATEL ENGINEERING COLLEGE

    LOCK NUT: -The Lock provides on the micrometer spindle to lock. Whenmicrometer is at correct, the Lock nut provides the tight holding of job aswell as reading.

    SLEEVE AND BASSEL: -The sleeve divided accurately and markedcorrectly in 0.5mm division along the length, which serves as a mainscale.

    THIMBLE: -Thethimblecan move over the parallel. It has 50 equal divisions

    around its circumference each division has a value of 0.01mm.

    RATCHET: -It provides on the end of the thimble. It used to assure accurate

    measurement & to prevent too much pressure applied to microscope.

    THE OUTSIDE MICROMETER

    The micrometer is a precision measuring instrument, used by engineers. Each

    revolution of the rachet moves the spindle face 0.5mm towards the anvil face. The

    object to be measured is placed between the anvil face and the spindle face. The

    rachet is turned clockwise until the object is trapped between these two surfaces

    and the rachet makes a clicking noise. This means that the rachet can not be

    tightened any more and the measurement can be read.

    Fig. Outside Micrometer

    EXAMPLE MEASURE READINGS

    Using the first example seen below:

    1. Read the scale on the sleeve. The example clearly shows 12 mm divisions.

    2. Still reading the scale on the sleeve, a further mm (0.5) measurement can be

    seen on the bottom half of the scale. The measurement now reads 12.5mm.

    MECHANICAL MEASUREMENT AND METROLOGY

    S.P.B.PATEL ENGINEERING COLLEGE

    3. Finally, the thimble scale shows 16 full divisions (these are hundredths of a

    mm).The final measurement is 12.5mm + 0.16mm = 12.66

    INSIDE MICROMETER

    The inside micrometer, as the name implies, isused for measuring insidedimensions, such as pumpcasing wearing rings, cylinders, bearings, and bushings.

    Inside micrometers usually come in a set thatincludes a micrometer head, various

    length spindles(or extension rods) that are interchangeable, and aspacing collar that

    is 0.500 inch in length. The spindles (or extension rods) usually graduate in 1-

    inchincrements of range; for example, 1 to 2 inch, 2 to 3inch (fig.).

    The 0.500 spacing piece is used between the spindle and the micrometer head so

    the range of the micrometer can be extended. A knurled extension handleis usually

    furnished for obtaining measurements inhard-to-reach locations.

  • 7/25/2019 Mmm_manual_4th Me-i and Me-II

    17/69

    MECHANICAL MEASUREMENT AND METROLOGY

    S.P.B.PATEL ENGINEERING COLLEGE

    To read the inside micrometer, read the micrometer head exactly as you would an

    outside micrometer,then add the micrometer reading to the rod length(including

    spacing collar, when installed) to obtainthe total measurement.

    When the 1- to 2-inch spindle is used, and thesleeve and thimble scales are

    set to 0.00 inch, thedistance between the face of the anvil and the face ofthe

    spindle is exactly 1.00 inch.

    SCREW THREAD MICROMETER

    Screw thread micrometers measure the pitch of the thread directly. The screw thread

    micrometer has a 60-degree pointed spindle and a double V-shaped swiveling anvil

    (Figure).

    Fig.3.4. Screw Thread Micrometer

  • 7/25/2019 Mmm_manual_4th Me-i and Me-II

    18/69

    MECHANICAL MEASUREMENT AND METROLOGY

    S.P.B.PATEL ENGINEERING COLLEGE

    The screw thread micrometer reading indicates the pitch diameter of the thread.

    When the micrometer is set at zero, the pitch line of the spindle and anvil coincide

    (Figure). When the micrometer is measuring the thread it is measuring along the

    pitch diameter of the thread (Figure).

    Fig. The pitch line indicates the imaginary thread profile engagement.

    Fixed anvil screw thread micrometers are those types of screw thread micrometers

    that can only measure thread pitches within a limited range. It is important to make

    sure that the screw thread micrometer that you will be using falls within the screw

    pitch range of a particular thread. With fixed anvil screw thread micrometers, seven

    micrometers will be needed to cover threads from 3 to 64 threads per inch.

    The type of screw thread micrometer shown in Figure has interchangeable anvils to

    cover a wide range of thread pitches. Whenever you change the anvils on the thread

    pitch micrometer, check the micrometer for accuracy.

    Fig. 12 inch screw thread micrometer with interchangeable anvils

    THE DEPTH GAUGE MICROMETER

    The depth gauge micrometer is a precision measuring instrument, used by engineers

    to measure depths. Each revolution of the rachet moves the spindle face 0.5mm

    towards the bottom of the blind hole. The diagram below shows how the depth

    gauge is used. The ratchet is turned clockwise until the spindle face touches the

    Fig. Depth gauge Micrometer

    Bottom of the blind hole. The scales are read in exactly the same way as the scales

    of a normal micrometer (see previous information sheets).

    MECHANICAL MEASUREMENT AND METROLOGY

    S.P.B.PATEL ENGINEERING COLLEGE

    PROCEDURE OF MEASUREMENT WITH MICROMETER: -

    Before a micrometer used to measure the dimension of a component, it is

    necessary to set zero.

    After setting the zero, again open the touched anvils and put the job between the

    anvils & take reading.

    First, of all take the main scale reading & then take Vernier scale reading. Nowadd the reading of Vernier scale multiplying with the least count value to main

    value. This is the accurate & final reading.

    PRECAUTION IN USING THE MICROMETER: -

    First, clean the micrometer by wiping of oil, dirt, dust etc.

    Clean measuring face of anvil & spindle with clean piece of paper.

    Set the zero reading of instrument.

    While measuring dimensions of circular parts the micrometer must moved

    carefully over representative area to note maximum dimension only.

    (B)BEVEL PROTRACTOR:

    It is the simplest instrument for measuring angle between two faces of component. It

    consists of a base plate attached to the main body and an adjustable blade which is

    attached to a circular plate called turret containing vernier scale. The adjustable

    blade is capable of rotating freely about the centre of the main scale (graduated

    around a complete circle from 0to 90, 90to 0and 0to 90, 90to 0) engraved

    on the body of the instrument and can be locked in any position. An acute

    attachment is provided at the top as shown in fig (1.1) to measure acute angles. The

    base of the base plate is made flat so that it could be laid flat upon the work and any

    type of angle measured. It is capable of measuring from 0to 360.

    The vernier scale has 24 divisions coinciding with 46 main scale divisions (23 oneither side) as shown in fig (1.2). The vernier scale is graduated to the right and left

    of zero up to 60 minutes, each of the 12 graduations representing 5 minutes. Since

    both the protractor dial and vernier scale have graduations in both directions from

    zero, any angle can be measured, but it should be remembered that the vernier must

    be read in the same direction from zero as the protractor either left or right. If the

    zero graduation on the vernier scale coincides with a protractor graduation, the

    number of degrees read between the zeros on the 5 minutes, must be added to the

    number of degrees read between the zeros on the protractor dial and vernier scale.

    Magnified view of main scale is shown in fig (1.2a).

    POCEDURE:

    Angle measurement by Bevel protractor:

    1. The base plate of the bevel protractor is placed on the top horizontal surface of

    the component.

    2. Blade locking nut is loosened and by rotating the blade about the centre of the

    main scale, the working edge of the blade is made to coincide with the inclinedsurface of the component.

    3. Blade is locked in that position by tightening the nut.

    4. Vernier scale division coinciding with main scale division is noted.

    Inclination of the surface with respect to horizontal is calculated as follows:

    Angular reading = (Vernier scale division 5 minutes) + Main scale division in

    degrees.

    (C) SINE PRINCIPLE AND SINE BAR:

    The Sine principle uses the ratio of two sides of a right angle triangle in deriving a

    given angle. The measurement is usually limited to 45from loss of accuracy point of

    view. The accuracy with which the sine principle can be put to use is dependent in

    practice, on some form of linear measurement. The sine bar in itself is not a

    complete measuring instrument. Another datum such as surface plate is needed, as

    well as other auxiliary equipment, notably slip gauges, and indicating device to make

    measurements. Sine bars used in conjunction with slip gauges constitute a very

    good device for the precise measurement of angles. Sine bars are used either to

    measure angles very accurately or for locating any work to a given angle within very

    close limits.

    Sine bars are made from high carbon, high chromium, corrosion resistance steel,

    hardened, ground and stabilized. Two cylinders of equal diameter are attached at the

    ends.

    The axes of these two cylinders are mutually parallel to each other and also parallel

    to and at equal distance from the upper surface of the sine bar. The distance

    between the axes of the two cylinders is exactly 5 inches or 10 inches in British

    System and 100, 200 and 300 mm in metric system.

    The various parts are hardened and stabilized before grinding and lapping. All the

    working surfaces and the cylindrical surfaces of the rollers are finished to surface

    finish of 0.2 m Ra value or better. Depending upon the accuracy of the centre

    distance, sine bars are graded as of A grade or B grade of sine bars are guaranteed

    accurate up to 0.01 mm/m of length. There are several forms of sine bars, but the

    one shown in fig (1.3) is not commonly used. Some holes are drilled in the body ofthe bar to reduce the weight and to facilitate handling.

    29/69

    MECHANICAL MEASUREMENT AND METROLOGY

    S.P.B.PATEL ENGINEERING COLLEGE

    The accuracy of sine bar depends on its constructional features:

    1) The two rollers must have equal diameter and true cylinders.

    2) The rollers must be set parallel to each other and to the upper face.

    3) The precise centre distance between the rollers must be known.

    4) The upper face must have a high degree of flatness.

    USE OF SINE BAR:

    a) Measuring known angles or locating any work to a given angle:

    For this purpose the surface plate is assumed to be having a perfectly flat surface so

    that its surface could be treated as horizontal. One of the cylinders or rollers of sine

    bar is placed on the surface plat and other roller is placed on the slip gauges of

    height h as shown in fig (1.4). Let the sine bar be set at angle . Then Sin= h/L.

    Where, L = Distance between the centre of rollers.

    Thus knowing , h can be found out and any work could be set at this angle as the

    top face of sine bar is inclined at angle to the surface plat. The use of angle plates

    and clamps could also be made in case of heavy components for better results; both

    the rollers could also be placed on slip gauges of height h1 and h2respectively. Then

    Sine= (h2 - h1)/L

    b) Checking of unknown angles:

    Many a times, angle of components to be checked is unknown. In such a case, it is

    necessary to first find the angle approximately with the help of a bevel protractor. Letthe angle be . Then the sine bar is set at an angle and clamped to an angle plate.

    Next, the work is placed on sine bar and clamped to an angle plate as shown in fig

    (1.5) and dial indicator is set at one end of the work and moved to the other, and

    deviation is noted. Again slip gauges are so adjusted that dial indicator reads zero

    across work surface.

    If deviation noted by the dial indicator is h over a length of L of work, then height of

    slip gauges by which is should be adjusted is equal to hL/L1

    POCEDURE:

    Angular measurement by sine bar:

    1. The sine bar is made to rest on surface plate with rollers contacting the datum

    (Surface plat)

    2. Place the component on sine bar and lock it in position.

    3. Lift one end (roller) of the sine bar and place a pack of slip gauges, underneath

    the roller. The height of the slip gauges (h) should be selected such that the top

    surface of component is parallel to the datum plate (Surface plat). The parallelism

    can be assessed by making the stylus of a dial indicator mounted on a dial gauges

  • 7/25/2019 Mmm_manual_4th Me-i and Me-II

    30/69

    MECHANICAL MEASUREMENT AND METROLOGY

    S.P.B.PATEL ENGINEERING COLLEGE

    stand in contact with the upper surface of component and sliding the stylus along the

    component surface. If both the surfaces are perfectly parallel, the pointer on the dial

    gauges shows the same reading throughout the travel of the dial gauge stylus. If the

    surfaces are not parallel then the height of slip gauge back (h) can be altered and

    procedure for checking parallelism can be repeated.

    Record the final height of slip gauge pack used for achieving parallelism

    Calculate inclination = Sine -1(h/L)

    PRECAUTIONS:

    1. The sine bar should not be used for angle greater than 60because any possible

    error in construction is accentuated at this limit.

    2. Accuracy of sine bar should be ensured.

    3. As far as possible longer sine bar should be used since many errors are reduced

    by using longer sine bar.

    INTRODUCTION:

    Guide ways of a lathe spindle of a machine, surface of measuring table and many

    other similar situations where if reference surface is not straight or uniformly linear, it

    produces defective marketing or product. Hence the straightness is required to be

    checked. Naturally, the straightness of a straight edge and surface plate should bevery high, because they are considered as standards compared to other instruments

    in laboratory or work shop. The bed or table of a machine should be a perfectly flat

    surface. It is required in machine tool that one part sub-assembly is moving or sliding

    on another reference surface is not flat, the product produced will be defective. This

    will lead to wastage of man power and material. Therefore, it is necessary to check

    the flatness of such surfaces.

    (2) Mark two point A and B at 0.554L distance on the straight edge and divide them

    into two equal parts as shown in figure. Remaining length of the straight edge

    should be kept approximately equal on both sides.

    (3) Put the straight edge on slip gauge, keep 10 mm slip gauge below A and 20 mm

    slip gauge below B.

    (4) Insert the required slip gauges below point number 1 of straight edge and note

    the reading in table-1.

    (5) Repeat the above procedure for point 2 to 9.

    GAUGES INTRODUCTION:

    Gauges are scale less inspection tool at rigid design, which are used to check the

    dimensions of manufactured parts. They also check the form and relative position of

    the surface of the parts. They do not determine the actual size or dimension of parts.

    They are only used to determine whether the inspected part has been within the

    specified limits.

    The gauges consist of two sizes corresponding to their max and min limits. For

    gauging hole limits plug gauges and for gauging shaft shape gauges are used.

    Gauges are easy to employ and can be used in many cases by unskilled operators.

    For checking the component with a gauge it is not necessary to make any calculation

    and to determine the actual dimensions of the part, the time involved for checking is

    considerably reduced. For these reasons in mass production they are used.

    PLAIN GAUGES:

    They are used for checking holes and shafts. Gauges are classified as:

    1. According to their type:

    Standard and limit gauges.

    Limit gauges.

    2. According to their purpose:

    Workshop.

    Inspection.

    Master or reference gauges.

    3. According to the form of tested surface: Plug gauges for checking holes.

    Snap and ring gauges for checking shafts.

    ADVANTAGES OF FIXED GAUGES:

    1. They are free from errors due to drift and the original adjustment, non-linear

    response, effect of power supply variation and other extraneous factors which

    necessitate regular calibration and occasional correction on comparator type

    gauges.

    2. These provide positive dimensional information.

    3. These are portable and independent of power supply avaibility.

    4. These involve no other auxiliary equipment and set ups.

    5. These can be design to inspect combinations of several dimensioncorresponding

    lengths, diameters and angles.

    6. These provide uniform reference standards.

    7. These are not expensive.

    8. Comparator has to be set form time to time using master fixed gauges.

    TYPES OF GAUGES:

    STANDARD GAUGES:

    If a gauge is made as an exact copy of the mating part of the component to be

    checked, it is called standard gauge. It can not be checked to interference fit. It has

    limited applications.

    LIMIT GAUGES:

    They are widely used in industries. As there are two dimensional limits high and low

    accordingly they are known as NO and NO-GO gauges.

    PLAIN PLUG GAUGES:

    Generally the gauging members of plain gauges are made of suitable wearresistance steel and the handle can be made of any suitable steel. They are normally

    of double ended type for size up to 63mm and of single ended type for size above

    63mm.

    The various types of plain plug gauges are shown below:

    (1) For size up to 10 mm GO and NO-GO type. (Solid type).

    (2) GO and NO-GO type gauges for size over 10 mm and up to 30 mm. (Taper

    inserted type).

    (3) (a)GO and NO-GO type gauges for size over 30 mm and up to 63 mm.(fig : 3)

    (b)GO and NO-GO type gauges for size over 63 mm and up to100 mm.(fig : 3)

    (4) GO and NO-GO type gauges for size over 100 mm and up to 250 mm.(fig : 3)

    (5) In this type, gauges with the gauging portion integral with the handle are replaced

    with renewable end. (Renewable type).

    (6) For relatively short through hole. It has both the ends on one side of gauge as

    shown in fig. (Progressive type)

    (7) To avoid jamming of the plug gauge inside the hole they are used. It is of elliptical

    shape and so it touches the hole with major axis end points. The chamber behind

    the pilot lifts the gauges into link, making jamming impossible and advantages isthat it can be handle with less care.(Pilot plug gauge).See fig

    PLAIN RING GAUGES:

    Plain ring gauges are generally manufactured as individual Go and No-Go rings.

    Special ring gauges can be manufactured with both Go and No-Go diameters on a

    single ring if requested. Standard plain ring gauges below 65 mm [2.5"] are

    manufactured from hardened steel blanks kept in stock and can be delivered within 2

    weeks.

    The various types of these gauges are as follows:

    (1) For fig : 9 dimension d2 varies from 22mm to 112 mm. Correspondingly b varies

    from 5mm to 22 mm and c from 0.4mm to n1.6 mm.

    (2) For fig : 10 dimension d2 varies from 125 mm to 355 mm. corresponding to

    d1=120 mm to 355mm, dimension d2 varies from 100 mm to 280 mm,b1 from 12

    mm to 18 mm, c from 2.5 mm to 4 mm, r from 3mm to m6 mm, t from 3 m to 8

    mm.

    (3) For fig : 11 dimension d2 varies from 22 mm to 112 mm with d1 from 3 mm to

    5mm and 66 mm to 709 mm respectively, corresponding b1 varies from 3 mm to

    8 mm, c from 0.4 mm to 1.6 mm.

    SNAP GAUGES:

    Thread and plug gauges Thread and pluggauges

    These images illustrate an alternative type of gauge. The snap gauge has four anvils

    or jaws, the first one or pair (outermost) are set using the upper limit (tolerance) of

    the part and the inner set adjusted to the lower limit of the part.

    The usage of this gauge may be more intuitive than the plug type. A correctly

    machined part will pass the first set of jaws and stop at the second end of test. In

    this manner a part may be checked in one action, unlike the plug gauge that needs

    to be used in the correct sequence and flipped to access the second gauge.

    The left image is a plain snap gauge used to measure outside distances (diameters),

    the right hand image shows two views of a thread snap gauge. it is very useful onefor mass production

    (1) RIB TYPE SNAP GAUGES:

    Double type snap gauges can be conveniently used for checking size in the range of

    3 to 100 mm and single ended progressive type snap gauges are suitable for range

    of 100 mm to 250 mm with gauging surface suitably stabilized, grounded and

    lapped.(see fig.)

    (2) PLATE SNAP GAUGES :

    Double ended type plat snap gauges are used for sizes in the range of 2 mm to 100

    mm and single ended progressive size range of 100 mm to 250 mm with gauging

    surface properly hardened, stabilized ground and lapped. They are reasonably flat

    and all sharp corners and edges are removed.

    ADJUSTABLE TYPE GAP GAUGES:

    In this gauges gauging anvils are adjustable end wise in the horse shoe frame. They

    are set with the help of slip gauges to any particular limit required. It possible tomade gauges within about 0.002 mm of desired size and so their use enable faller

    advantages to be taken of manufacturing tolerance. The adjustably also ended GO

    anvils to be taken up any time. If anvils faces lose their flatness with use. They can

    be reground quite easily. For designing of gap gauges some design consideration.

    COMBINED LIMIT GAUGES:

    In the case of gauging of cylindrical holes, it is possible to combined both GO and

    NO GO dimensions of a plug gauges and thus a single gauge doing the checking of

    both lower and upper limit.

    POSITION GAUGES:

    They are commonly used and designed on based of shape of work. They are used

    for checking the position of some feature on the work relative to another reference

    point or surface. Fig shows a position gauge for checking recess with respect to

    some flat surface and fig shows location of parallel surface to the reference surface

    by means of gauge.

    CONTOUR GAUGES:

    These are employed for checking the dimensional accuracy and shape of irregular

    work. They are made of similar profile as that of work. e.g. radius gauges are

    employed for checking the shape of fillets.

    MISCELLANEOUS GAUGES:

    They are used for not only shaft and hole checking but can be designed for all type

    of application for checking purposes in production shop and checking.

    RECEIVER GAUGES:

    They are designed to simultaneously check a number of features of work pieces.

    They are often used for checking components before assembly.

    PROFILE GAUGES:

    They are used to check the form of the components. Profiles are difficult to be

    checked by limit gauges and it is usual practice to use fixed gauges for profile

    checking.

    GAUGE DESIGN:

    To a greater or lesser extend, every gauges is a copy of the part which mates with

    the part of which gauges are designed. For example, in the design of bushing gauge

    is a copy of opposed part shaft to which bushing is mate.

    TAYLORS PRINCIPLE:

    According to GOand NO GO gauges should be designed to check maximum and

    minimum material limits which are checked as below:

    GO LIMIT:

    This consideration is applied to that limit of the two limits of a size which corresponds

    to the maximum material limit consideration.

    NO GO LIMIT:

    This consideration is applied to that limit of the two limits of a size which corresponds

    to the minimum material limit consideration. i.e. lower limit of shaft and upper limit of

    a hole.Fig. Shows GO plug gauges and GO snap gauges.

    IMPORTANT POINTS FOR GAUGE DESIGN:

    (1) The form of GO gauges should exactly coincide with the form of opposed parts.

    (2) GO gauges are complex gauges which enables several related dimensions to

    be checked simultaneously.

    (3) In inspection, GO gauges must always be put into conditions of maximum

    impossibility.(4) NO GO gauges are gauges for checking a single element of feature.

    (5) In inspection, NO GO gauges must always be put into conditions of maximum

    possibility.

    LIMIT GAUGES:

    The various types of limit gauges used for gauging internal diameters of holes are:

    (1) FULL FORM CYLINDRICAL PLUG GAUGES:-The gauging surface is in the

    form of an external cylinder. Generally a small groove cut near the leading end ofthe gauges and the remaining short cylindrical surface is reduced in order to act as a

    pilot. The method of attaching gauges to handle should be such as not to affect the

    size and form of gauge by producing undesirable stress.

    (2) FULL FORM SPHERICAL PLUG OR DISK GAUGES:- This has gauging surface

    in the form of a sphere from which two equal segments are cut off by planes normal

    to the axis of the handle.

    (3) SEGMENTAL CYLINDRICAL BAR GAUGES:- It has the gauging surface in one

    of the following two forms: External cylindrical form from which two axial segmentsare made by lowering down the surface of two planes as shown in fig.

    (4) SEGMENTAL SPHERICAL PLUG GAUGES:- It is similar to full form spherical

    plug or dick gauge but two equal segments cut off by planes parallel to the axis of

    the handle in addition to the segments cut off by planes normal to the axis of handle

    as per fig..

    (5) SEGMENTAL CYLINDRICAL BAR GAUGE WITH REDUCED MEASURING

    FACES:- It is similar to segmental cylindrical bar gauge but has reduced measuring

    faces in a plane parallel to the axis of the handle as shown in fig..

    (6) ROD WITH SPHERICAL ENDS:- It has spherical surfaces which form part of one

    single sphere.

    THE STANDARD LIMIT GAUGES USED FOR GAUGING EXTERNAL

    DIAMETERS OF SHAFTS ARE:

    FULL FORM CYLINDRICAL RING GAUGE:

    It has auging surface in the form of an internal cylinder and whose wall is thickenough to avoid deformation under normal condition.

    GAP GAUGES:

    It generally has one flat surface and one cylindrical surface the axis of two surfaces

    being parallel to the axis of the shaft being checked. The surface contributing the

    working size may both be flat or both cylindrical also.

    PLUG GAUGES:

    Hardened and ground plug gaugeReplaceable thread and plug gauges

    These gauges are referred to as plug gauges; they are used in the manner of a plug.

    They are generally assembled from standard parts where the gauge portion is

    interchangeable with other gauge pieces (obtained from a set of pin type gauge

    blocks) and a body that uses the colletprinciple to hold the gauges firmly. To use

    this style of gauge, one end is inserted into the part first and depending on the resultof that test, the other end is tried.

    In the right hand image, the top gauge is a thread gauge that is screwed into the part

    to be tested, the labeled GO end will enter into the part fully; the NOT GO end

    should not. The lower image is a plain plug gauge used to check the size of a hole,

    the green end is the GO, and red is the NO GO. The tolerance of the part this gauge

    checks is 0.30mm where the lower size of the hole is 12.60mm and the upper size is

    12.90mm; every size outside this range is out of tolerance. This may be initially

    expressed on the parts drawing in a number of styles, three possibilities may be:-

    12.75mm +/- 0.15mm

    12.60mm +0.30 -0.00

    12.90mm +0.00 -0.30

    PLAIN:

    It is a full form of GO gauge representing a plain or tapped end shank. It is provide

    with one ring marked on the gauge plane and another ring to indicate the minimum

    depth of internal taper. The dimension of gauging portion represents basic size. The

    distance between two ring marks Z correspond to permissible deviation of gauge

    plane position for the particular taper. It can test internal taper also.

    TANGED:

    It is a full form of GO gauge representing the virtual size of the shank of basic

    dimension having tang which is one of the top limit of its thickness and eccentric by

    the maximum permissible amount. It is provide with one ring marked on the gaugeplane and another ring to indicate the depth of internal taper.

    RING GAUGE:

    PLAIN:

    This gauge represent on internal taper of basic size. It is used for verifying the taper

    of tapped or plain and shank. As the ring gauge is inserted to be used for verification

    of internal taper, the dimension of gauging portion represent an internal taper basic

    size. For inspecting external taper, the ring gauge is inserted with light pressure at

    the extreme position the small end of taper shank under test should lie flush or short

    of the face of the ring gauge on the small end.

    TANGED:

    This gauge represents an internal taper of basic size. A limit step is provided at the

    small end of taper which verifies the length of shank form the gauge plane and also

    combined effect of tang thickness and its offset. A step is provided to verify, the tang

    slot will accept a shank even worst case. For testing, the external taper of the tanged

    and shank the ring gauge will insert light pressure.

    TITLE:-Surface Roughness Measurement

    OBJECTIVE;

    1. To measure the surface roughness of the given specimens using roughness tester

    2. To show the variation of surface roughness as a function of cutting conditions i.e.,speed, feed, depth of cut and tool geometry etc

    MEASURING INSTRUMENTS AND MATERIAL RIQURIED:

    1. Surface roughness tester (SJ- 201)

    2. Precision roughness specimen, Test specimens, Calibration stage

    3. Height gauge, Adapter for the height gauge, support

    4. Nose Pieces, Digimatic data processor (DP-1 HS)

    TERMINOLOGY AS PER INDIAN STANDARD:

    Surface roughness: It concerns all those irregularities which form surface relief and which

    are conventionally defined within the area where deviations of form and waviness are

    eliminated.

    PRIMARY TEXTURE (ROUGHNESS):

    It is caused due to the irregularities in the surface roughness which results from the

    inherent action of the production process. These are deemed to include transverse feed

    marks and the irregularities within them.

    SECONDARY TEXTURE (WAVINESS)

    It results from factors such as machine or work deflections, vibrations, chatter, heat

    treatment or warping strains, waviness is the component of surface roughness upon which

    roughness is superimposed.

    CENTRE LINE:- The line about which rough is measured.

    LAY:-It is the direction of the predominant surface pattern: ordinarily determined by the

    method of production used.

    TRAVERSING LENGTH:It is the length of the profile necessary for the evaluation of the

    surface roughness parameters.

    SAMPLING LENGTH (I):Is the length of profile necessary for the evaluation of

    irregularities to be taken into account. This is also known as the cut off length as regard

    to the measuring instruments. It is measured in a direction parallel to the general direction

    of profile.

    Surface texture is deemed to include all those irregularities which, recurring many times

    across the surface, tend to form on it a pattern or texture. The irregularities in the surface

    texture which result from the inherent action of the production process is called roughness

    or primary texture. That component of surface texture upon which roughness is super

    imposed is called waviness or secondary texture. This may result from such factors as

    machine or work deflections, vibrations, chatter, heat treatment or warping strains. The

    direction of the predominant surface pattern, ordinarily determined by the productionmethod used is called lay. The parameters of the surface are conveniently defined with

    respect to a straight reference line. The most widely used parameter is the arithmetic

    average departure of the

    Filtered profile from the mean line. This is known as the CLA (CentreLineAverage) or

    Ra (roughness average)

    Arithmetic mean deviation of the Profile, Ra

    Ra is the arithmetic mean of the absolute values of the profile deviations (Y i ) from the

    mean line.N

    Ra = 1/N Yi

    I=1

    Rootmean- square deviation of the Profile, Rq :

    Rqis the square root of the arithmetic mean of the squares of profile deviations (Y i ) from

    the mean line.

    Maximum height of the profile, Ry:

    Ry is the sum of height Ypof the highest peak from the mean line and depth Yvof the

    deepest valley from the mean line.

    Ry = Yp + Yv

    EQUIPMENTS USED:

    1. Thermocouple

    2. Thermistor3. Bimetallic temperature gauge

    4. Mercury type thermometer

    5 .Pyrometer

    PRINCIPLE:

    The principle on which various temperature measuring devices work is shown below:

    (1)Principle of expansion e.g mercury thermometer range:-40to400 c

    (2)Principle of Electrical resistance e.g. resistance thermometer range:

    -240 to 980c(3)Change of physical state e.g. bimetallic thermometer range: -73to540 c

    (4)Change in chemical state e.g. thermistor range: -100 to260 c

    (5)Change in radiation e.g. pyrometer range: -20 to 5760 c

    THERMOCOUPLE:

    Thermocouple is an instrument to measure temperature which works on thermoelectric

    effects. In its construction two dissimilar conductors electrically insulated except at hot

    junction where conductors may either be soldered or welded together. A refractory and

    metal protective cover is provided to protect the thermocouple from injurious furnace

    gases and to prevent from mechanical damages. The leads allow the measuring

    instrument to be placed at considerable distance from thermocouple. The cold or the

    reference junction provided by the instrument is used for measuring e.m.f. The hot

    junction point is placed into a hot well i.e. the system to be measured. Due to difference of

    temperatures at hot and cold junction points, an e.m.f. is generated and electric current

    flows through the circuit. The value of this generated current can be read on the calibrated

    meter in terms of temperature.
