Introduction ‘The use of gauge blocks for measuring and for calibrating ‘measuring instruments may be extended by accessories of the type specified in this standard. For instance pairs of type A and type B jaws ae listed which when combined ‘with gaugo blocks form an external or an internal calliper. Other accessories are a robust base for converting a gauge block combination into a height gauge; and a centre point {and an edged tool for scribing arcs of precise radius. The various items are made with wringing surfaces for com- bining with gauge blocks, and holders are available for supporting the combinations in use ‘The precision obtainable in using the accessories is influenced by the manner of use, e.g. reduction of springiness in calliper jaws, flainass of the datum surface Measuring jaws (type A) \ Holder CEE "Gauge block Measuring jaws ype A) Gauge block Toolmaker's th fof surtace pl (oot an accessory) Platform Figure 1, Examples of asomblies of gouge block sooesrores (on which the base is located, and avoidance of focal wear, particularly on the scribing tool and the type A jaws. 1. Scope This standard specifies requirements for accessor intended for use with metric gauge blocks complying with the requirements of BS 4311 : Part 1 and includes two typos of measuring jaws, sriber and centre points, bases and holders. Requirements for general dimensions and certain features of design, material, finish and accuracy are specified. Other details of design may vary according to the practice of individual manufacturers, Examples of typical assemblies of accessories are shown in figure 1 and notes on their use are given in appendix A.

In addition, when the pair of jaws is wrung over an interposed gauge block of about size A and aligned along one side, the maximum error in the overall dimension shall not exceed + 0.001 mm. In manufacture this toleranos is achieved by positioning the centre-for the radius A midway between the side faces to within 0.026 mm. “These jaws should not be used for the accurate messure ment of internal diameters smeller than 3A, ‘Angle 8 shall be 90° +0’, — 10". 5.

When the set is used in combination, the diameter of @ finely scribed circle shall not differ by more than + 0.026 mm from twice the size of the gauge block com- bination inserted between the points. For this purpose ‘the inside edgo of the fine seribed lines shall be the position of measurement. 7. Base 7.1. General. The base is used in combination with gauge blocks to set up a nominal dimension vertically above a datum surface in contact with the underside of the base. ‘The base, including a platform to which the gauge blocks ‘are wrung, shall be sufficiently robust to provide adequate stability when used in conjunction with a combination of ‘gauge blocks in a holder of 300 mm capacity. Suitable means shall be provided for attaching the holder s0 that the combination of gauge blocks is perpendicular to the datum surface. ‘The underside of the base shall be relieved and an air vent shall be provided. The sides shall be relieved to form Convenient finger grips. ‘The platform shall be at least 36 mm long and 9 mm broad. 7.2 Finish and accuracy. The underside of the base and the platform upon which gauge block combinations are to ‘be wrung shall be finished by high grade lapping to within the tolerances specified below. “The underside of the base shall be flat to within 0,001 mm {and the base shall not rock. ‘The platform shall be flat to within 0.0003 mm. ‘The platform shall be parallel to the underside of the base ‘to within 0.0003 mm, ‘The measured height of the base shall agree with the ‘nominal height as marked to within * 0.0008 mm. 8. Holders 8.1. General. Tho holders shall be of a suitable design to accommodate combinations of gauge blocks and accessories, and to hold such combinations rigidly while they are in use, ‘The holder shall incorporate a suitable form of swivel joint between the sliding block and the clamping screw in order to ensure an even pressure on the combination, The surfaces of the sliding and fixed blocks against which the combine- tion abuts shall be finished by lapping and the centres of ‘these surfaces shall be relieved (see figure 6). ‘The distance betwean the side plates shall be 9 + 0.1, =Omm PART#2 77 MM Ub24eb9 0185179 4 a BS 4311 ; Part 2: 1977 Radius 005 am spo — em wil amen med _ 00s A = Timm 907 = Figure. cenr point Swivel joint Clamping screw tre. portion relieved Figure 6, Dot of holder Sliding block BSI BSx43Lb: BS 4311: Part 2: 1977 9, Associated items ‘The accessories specified in this standard are often supplied ‘accompanied by a knife edge straight edge complying with ‘the requirements of BS 862.

PART#2 77 MM L249 0185280 0 mm Appendix A. Notes on the use of gauge block accessories A.A Type A and type B jaws. When wringing the jaws with sgauge blocks the combination should be aligned by bringing the items into contact along one side with a surface plate. “The projection of the jaws beyond the gauge blocks should bbe minimized to avoid loss of accuracy through springing Of the tips of the jaws. A.2 Type A jaws. The user is reminded that the 2 mm jaws are not undercut at the junction of the cylindrical and rectangular sections; hence if the jaws are allowed to mate to full depth with an internal component, contact may be ‘made with the fillet at the base of the cylindrical portion, thus falsifying the measurement. ‘These jaws wear most at the leading end: a sign of wear is fan abraded line along the cylindrical surface, A.B Scrlber and contre points. In all manipulation care should be taken to protect both points against damage in the form of burrs or blunting. When assembling with gauge blocks in a combination, itis advisable to align the com- bination along one side against a surface plate. Furthermore, the centre lines of scribars and centre points should be kept parallel with the axis of the gauge blocks. ‘The scribing of ares is facilitated if the sample is polished beforehand and If It can be rotated beneath the scribing assembly. If thick lines result there is uncertainty as to the ‘rue location of the marks since the seratch may be unsym- ‘metrical, and the innermost edge, from which measurements should be taken, may be irregular in outline, ‘The scriber will wear in due courso and a ready check is to view its condition under optical magnification. Rectifica- tion is best entrusted to the manufacturer. Where @ travelling microscope is available, the user may prefer to scribe arcs of nominal radius and measure the diameter of the seribad circle; the interposed gauge blocks may then be adjusted if necossary, and arcs rescribed.
