paRT – C (1×15=15 Marks)

16. a) Design general type GO and NO GO gauges for a 40H7/d8 fit. 40 mm lies in the
diameter 30 to 50. Show graphically the disposition of gauge tolerance zones
relative to tolerance zones. Standard tolerance for IT 7 is 16i and IT8 is
25i, where ‘I’ is the tolerance unit. The upper deviation for ‘d’ shaft is-16D0.44.
(15)
(OR)
b) An electronic caliper was used to measure the length of an object. Five
measurements were made. The results of the five measurements are : 21.53 mm,
21.51 mm, 20.52 mm, 21.48 mm and 21.42 mm. The workshop temperature
during measurement was 21°C. The calibration certificate of the electronic
caliper says that the device will read within ± 0.02mm of the correct answer if
it is used correctly and when the temperature is within 0 to 40°C. Estimate the
expanded uncertainty at a coverage factor of 2 providing coverage probability
of approximately 95%. (15)
