The document summarizes different types of measuring instruments. It describes precision measuring instruments that can measure very small increments down to 1/10,000 mm. It also discusses semi-precision instruments that do not have scales to measure the smallest dimensions. The document then provides details on various rulers and scales used for measurement, including rules, steel rules, hook rules, caliper rules, and shrink scales. Finally, it outlines the steps to take readings using a vernier caliper and an English micrometer caliper.

Classification of Measuring Instruments

A. Precision Measuring Instruments are measuring instruments where a fine and accurate
measurements are required. Precision measuring instruments can be used to measure even
1/10,000 mm. Some of the precision measuring instruments are micrometer caliper, vernier
caliper, universal bevel protractor, dial indicator, vernier depth gauge and vernier height gauge.

B. Semi-Precision Measuring Instruments are measuring instruments made without any scale to
measure the least part of any dimension. Some of the semi-precision measuring instruments are
divider, outside and inside caliper, square and hardened steel square.

Rulers and scales

A. Rule a basic measuring instrument commonly used in the educational system and on which we
have been oriented. The range of a rule is usually from 1 to 144 in length. Graduations are
8ths, 16ths, 32nds, and 64ths.

B. Narrow Steel rule used for measuring depths of slots or small depth holes and is about 1/25
thick and 3/16 wide, and is graduated on one side only. Its range comes in 6, 12, and 24.

C. Hook rule Used for taking measurements through holes such as gears and pulleys. This has
either double or single hook on an end that is convenient to measure. Very common ranges
available are 6 and 12.

D. Caliper rule This device is capable of measuring the inside and outside dimensions of objects
which vary widely in size. A block and an elongated bar are attached to a scaled rule and to a
slide member on the rule. The block has a pair of openings for alternatively receiving a pin,
depending upon whether an inside or outside dimension is to be measured.

E. Combination depth and angle gauge used to measure the depth of holes and slots. Commonly,
the rule is 3/16 in width and marked in 32nds and 64ths of an inch per graduation in each slide,
range comes in 6-12 and 24.

F. Shrink scale commonly used in pattern making for easy layouts of dimensions. For example,
the workpiece is to be made of aluminum which has a workpiece shrinkage of 3/16/ft, a 24
pattern making scale will be 24 3/8 long and will be graduated into 24 equal parts with each
graduation representing 1.

Steps in Reading Vernier Caliper (Vernier Scale: 1:25 mm)

A. To get the main Vernier reading, count the number of graduations from zero to the nearby or
coinciding line. Multiply the number by 1mm per graduation.
B. To get the Vernier scale reading, count the number of graduation from zero up to the nearby or
coinciding line. Multiply the number by 1/25 mm or 0.04mm per graduation.
C. Sum up the value of reading from the main Vernier and the Vernier scale to get the total and
precise reading.

Steps in Reading English Micrometer Caliper

A. The sleeve is the part where the major line is found. In the major line are 25 equally distributed
graduations dividing length of the sleeve therefore, each graduation is equal to 0.25
B. The thimble is the part where the minor line is found. In the minor line are 25 equally
distributed graduations. Always remember that the main purpose of the thimble graduation in
the minor line is to divide each graduation on the sleeve and, therefore, diving one graduation
on the sleeve which is equal to 0.25 by total number of graduation (grad.) in the thimble will be:
0.025 Grad / 25 grad = 0.001
C. Knowing that the amount per graduation in the thimble minor line is 0.001 , to get the sleeve
reading, count the number of graduations from zero in the major line up to the nearby or
coinciding line. Multiply this number by 0.25 graduation.
D. To get the thimble reading, count the number of graduation from zero up to the coinciding line.
Then multiply this number by 0.001/graduation.
E. To get the total range, sum up the value of the reading, from the sleeve and thimble plus the
range of the micrometer you see.
