REMARKS

I.STUDY OF MEASURING INSTRUMENTS

INTRODUCTION:
Metrology is a science of pure measurement, there are various types of measurements and
measuring systems. For measuring various instruments are used. The linear measurement includes
pre-measurement of length, diameter, heights and thickness. This may be internal or external. The
basic principle of linear measurement instruments is that of comparison with standard dimensions on
a suitably engraved instrument.
The various instruments used for measuring the linear measurements are
i)
ii)
iii)

Vernier Caliper
Slip Gauge
Comparator

Angular measurement is another element is measuring if involves measurement of angle of taper and
similar surfaces.
A) VERNIER CALIPER :
The principle of verniercaliper is that when two scales slightly different in size are used the difference
between them can be utilized to enhance the accuracy of measurement.
TYPES OF VERNIER CALIPER:
Three types of verniercaliper are used for both internal and external measurements. verniercalipers are
available for measurements upto 200mm having a accuracy of 0.02mm,0.05mm,0.01mm. The three
types ofverniercalipers are named as type A, type B, type C .

LEAST COUNT OF VERNIER INSTRUMENTS:

Least count of the vernier instruments is the difference between the value of the main scale division
and vernier scale division.
LEAST COUNT = 1MSD = 1VSD
VALUE OF AN 1MSD
LEAST COUNT= ---------------------------------------NO.OF DIVISIONS VRNIER SCALE
Generally, 50 divisions of vernier scale correspond to 49mm.
=> 50 VSD = 49 mm
1 VSD = 49/50 mm
Least count = 1mm 49/50 mm
= 0.02 mm
Least count of the vernier is 0.02 mm
ERRORS IN MEASUREMENT WITH VERNIER CALIPEERS:

Errors may arise in manipulation of vernier.

Jaw movement should be perpendicular to the scale.
During internal measurements, the jaws may become low logged.

PRECAUTIONS:

These instruments should also meet inbox and not suddenly dropped and turned up and down.
During measurements, the verniercaliper should not be used with oil ,grif and chops in parts
to be measured.
One hand of operator should be used for stationary view jaw and the other hand for
supporting movable jaw.

B) MICROMETER:
The micrometer has an accurate screw consisting of 10-20 threads/cm.This thread rotator
inside a fixed nut. The end of screw acts of one measuring tipand fixed anvil acts as another
measuring tip. The spindle move towards the fixed anvil or away from it by rotating the
thimble.

PRECAUTIONS:
The accuracy of any machine depends on proper function of individual parts. These are
obtained by preserving the equipment cleanly .During measurement spindle should move
freely holding the instruments is very important while measuring mainly error occurs due to
lack of flatness and parallelism of anvils.
C) DIAL INDICATOR:

A dial indicator is a measurement comparator .The essential parts of instruments are like a
small clock with a plunger projecting at the bottom.
Very slight upward moment on plunger moving it upward and the measurement is indicated
by a dial pointer the dial is graduated into 100 divisions.
A full revolution if pointer about this scale corresponds to 1mm travel plunger. Thus a turn of
pointer by one scale division represents a plunger travel of 0.01mm

RESULT:
Thus the measuring instruments such as vernier calliper, dial indicator and micrometer and their
applications are studied.

The Vernier caliper has one L shaped frame with a fixed jaw on which Vernier scale is attached. The
principle of Vernier is that when two scale divisions slightly different in sizes can be used to measure

between a main scale division and a Vernier scale division.
LEAST COUNT = 1 Main scale division 1 Vernier scale division

enhance wringing. It is used as a reference standard for transferring the dimensions of unit of length
from primary standard. It is generally made up of high carbon, high chromium hardened steel.
Uses:
These are accurate and used as comparator.

3.) Surface plate:

The foundation of all geometric accuracy and indeed of all dimensional measurement in workshop is
surface plate. It is a flat smooth surface sometimes with leveling screws at the bottom.

Apparatus Required:
Tool makers microscope, threading job, Eyepiece.
Procedure:

The use of - tool maker's microscope for the taking the various measurements is
explained below1) For taking linear measurements, the work piece is placed over the table. The
microscope is focused and one end of the work piece is made to coincide with cross line
in the microscope (by operating micrometers screws). The table is again moved until the
other end of the work piece coincide with the cross line on the screen and the final
reading taken. From the final reading, the desired measurement can be taken.
2) To measure the screw pitch, the screw is mounted on the table. The microscope
is focused (by adjusting the height of the optical head) until a sharp image of the
projected contour of the screw is seen of the ground glass screen. The contour is set so
that some point on the contour coincides with the cross line on the screen. The reading on
the thimble of the longitudinal micrometer screw is noted. Then the table is moved by the
same screw until a corresponding point on the contour (profile) of the next thread
coincides with the cross line. The reading is again noted and the difference in two reading
gives the screw pitch.
To determine pitch diameter the lateral movement to the table is given.
To determine the thread handle, the screen is rotated until a line on the angle of screen
rotation is noted.
The screen is further rotated until the same line coincides with the other flank of the
threads.
The angle of thread on the screen will be difference in two angular readings.

MEASURING DIMENSIONS USING CO-ORDINATE MEASURING

MACHINE

DATE:
AIM:
To measure the given to specimen using the co-ordinate measuring machine.
APPARATUS REQUIRED:
1. Co-ordinate Measuring Machine
2. Specimen
3. Probe Tip
DESCRIPTION
THE MACHINE CO ORDINATE SYSTEM:

There are two types of co-ordinate systems in the world measurement. The first is called the
machine co-ordinate system. Here , the X,Y,Z axes refer to the machine motions , when
viewed from the front of machine , the X axis runs from left to right and the Z-axis runs up
and down, the y-axis runs from front to back, vertically perpendicular to the other two.

DATUM

A datum is a location, we use datum are to tell others where we are or as direction on how to
get to places.On the map,the Rity hotel is a datum .So streets, the town station ,the museum
and the restaurant .Thus by using an origin, datum ,directions and distances and people have
all information they need to get from one direction to another.
For example, to get from town station to the restaurant ,you walk 2 blocks north on ,element
street datum , take a right and walk 2 blocks last on maple.
In Metrology,a datum is a feature on a workpiece such as hole,surface or slot. We measure a
workpiece to determine the distance from one feature to another.

ROTATON:

Not all datums are at right angles to other datum.For example,looking at your street map. You
see at the museum is located on a street thats neither parallel nor at right angles on a streets
the hotel, restaurant town station are on .
Thus to determine how for it is from the hotel to the museum , you have to first translate your
key origin to the hotel and then rotate the key to be parallel to the street on which museum is
located .
Now you can easily measure the distance from the museum to the hotel.
The exact same procedure applies to the workpiece .
The distance between the two holes on the workpiece can be measured once the original
origin is translated to the smaller hole and the part co-ordinate system is mathematically
rotated 45*.
Now both of the batch holes lies along the new Y-axis and the distance can be calculated
automatically.

34

PROCEDURE:
The given specimens are mounted over the table of CMM.
The probe tip of required dimension is selected.
It is connected to the head of CMM through the small key.
Then,the probe tip will be calibrated.

Similarly, it is placed at the base of the specimen.
They, it is moved upwards to find the height of the specimen.
(B) Cylindrical specimen :

diameter of various holes.
They are also used to determine the centre distance.
