?????

1. (a) Differentiate between Line Standard and End Standard of measurement. Bringout
suitable examples under each category.
(b) Three 100 mm end bars are measured on a level comparator by first wringing
them together and comparing with a 300mm bar and then inter comparing
them. The 300 mm bar has a known error of +42 µm and the three bars
together measure 64 mm less than the 300 mm bar. Bar A is 18µm longer
than Bar B and 23 µm longer than Bar C.Find actual length of each bar.[8+8]

2. (a) Sketch two forms of Sine bars in general use. What are the important dimen-
sions of Sine bar and what precautions are necessary in its use ? Derive an
expression for the error any in the angle set up resulting from :
i. an error in the centre distance between rollers
ii. error in size of roller
iii. setting the Sine bar at angles more than 450
(b) How are angular measurements made ? Describe the instrument for angular
measurement correct upto a few seconds. [8+8]

3. (a) Explain the principle, construction and working of stylus type surface texture
measuring instruments. What are the disadvantages of these instruments?
Why are they widely used ?
(b) The measurement of surface roughness the height of 10 successive peaks and
valleys over datum line over a specified sampling length were found to be
Peaks 45 42 40 35 35µm
Valley 30 25 25 24 18µm
Determine the ‘Rz ’ value of the surface [8+8]

4. (a) Sketch and describe the following:

i. Gap Gauge
ii. Snap Gauge, and
iii. Position Gauge
(b) i. Explain the Taylor‘s principle of limit gauging. Can this principle be
strictly followed in practice.
ii. Determine the limit dimensions of the gauge for checking holes of 30 ±0.02
mm diameter and sketch the limit gauge. [8+4+4]

5. (a) Briefly enumerate the advantages and limitations of a differential pneumatic
comparator.Explain the basic principle of operation of a typical pneumatic
measuring instrument.
(b) The operation of a pressure type pneumatic comparator is represented by
the equation = p/P = -0.5 (M/C) + 1.1 for 0.6> (p/P) > 0.8 (where p =
pressure between the two orifices, P = operating pressure, M = effective area
of measuring oritice, C = geometric area of the control orifice). The control
orifice is 0.5 mm diameter and the measuring orifice is 1 mm diameter hole.
i. range of linear measurement
ii. the pneumatic sensitivity of back pressure gauge for a supply pressure of
200KN/m2 gauge pressure. [8+8]

6. (a) Define “best wire size” ? Compute the “best wire size” for 20 mm ISO thread
of 3 mm pitch.
(b) What are the different elements of a spur gear which require inspection ? Name
the instruments used in the inspection of these elements with their expected
accuracies ? [8+8]

7. (a) Differentiate between Quality and Inspection.Describe different method of In-

spection
(b) Discuss the role of statistical quality control in modern production technology.
[8+8]

8. (a) Design a single sampling plan for which the ‘Consumer’s risk’ of acceptance
of 2% detective product is 0.10 and the ‘Producer Risk’ of rejection of 0.6%
defective product is 0.05. Determine the values of P0.50 and ‘indifferent quality’
for this sampling plan.
(b) What are the advantages of adopting ISO 9000. List out summary elements
of ISO 9001. Enumerate the various standards available on Total Quality
Management (TQM). [8+8]
