Measurement
Linear Measurement

• Measurement of perpendicular distance Between two points


or surfaces. Designed either for line measurements or end
measurements
• Applies to measurement of length, heights, diameters,
thicknesses, radius etc.
• Line measuring instruments consists of series of accurately,
spaced painted or marked lines on them

Linear Measuring instruments

(A)Classification based on methods of measurement


•l. Direct measuring instruments.
•2. Indirect measuring instruments.
•Measuring instruments can be further classified as :
(a)Graduated instruments. It includes rules, vemier
callipers, vernier height gauges, vernier depth gauges,
micromètres, dial indicators etc.
(b)Non-graduated instruments : It includes callipers,, wire
gauges, screw pitch gauges, radius gauges, thickness
gauges, slip gauges etc.

(B) Classification based on the accuracy that can be obtained


•l. Non-precision type instruments : It includes steel rule,
caliper, divider; depth gauge, telescopic gauge etc.
•2. Precision type instruments :It includes vernier calliper,
vernier height gauge, vernier depth gauge, micrometer, slip
gauges, etc.

Steel Rule

Vernier height guage

Similar to a vernier calliper except that the


fixed jaw in this case is replaced by a
fixed base which rests on a surface plate
or table when taking measurements.

Precautions to be taken in use of vernier height gauge


It should be tested for straightness, squareness, and
parallelism of working beam, measuring jaw and scriber.
base is clean and free from burrs.

Micrometers

Construction
• Useful device for magnifying small measurement
• Accurate screw and nut are used for measurement
• Micrometers works on the principle of screw and nut. The screw is
attached to a concentric cylinder or thimble the circumference of which
is divided into a number of equal parts. A screw is turned through nut by
one revolution, its axial movement is equal to pitch of the thread of
screw.

Vernier micrometers
• In order to increase accuracy, the vernier principle also be applied to
outside micrometer

Main scale is graduated on the barrel with two sets of division marks. The
set below the reference line reads in mm and set above the line reads
in 1/2 mm (0.5 mm).
Thimble scale is graduated on thimble with 50 equal divisions.
• Each small division of thimble represents 1/50 of minimum
division of main scale.
• Main scale minimum division value is ½ mm (0.5mm). Hence each

• Vernire scale is marked on barrel. There are “l0 divisions on barrel and
this is equivalent to 9 divisions on the thimble.”
• Hence division on vernier scale is equal to 9/10 that of thimble.
• But one division on thimble is equal to 0.01 mm. Therefore, one
division on vernier scale is equal ,to

Slip gauges

SUB:ES
Slip gauges

• Universally accepted end standard of length in industry.


• A rectangular block made up of high grade hardened steel.
• Independent of any subsequent variation in size or shape
• Carefully finished by high grade lapping to a high degree of finish,
flatness and accuracy

• The opposite faces are of such a high degree of surface finish so that
when the blocks are pressed together with a slight twist by hand, they will
wring together. They will remain firmly attached to each other.

SUB:ES
Slip gauges

• Wringing occurs due to molecular adhesion between a liquid film (not


more than 6 to 7 microns thick) and the mating surface.
• This wringing process is used to build up desired dimensions over a
range of sizes in specific increments.
• The success of the wringing operation depends upon the surface finish
and flatness of the blocks used and absence of dirt, grease, butts and
scratches.

Slip gauges

Applications of slip gauges :


(l) They are used to check the accuracy of verniers, micrometers and
other measuring devices.
(2)They are used to set the comparator to a specific dimension.
(3)They are used for direct precise measurement where the accuracy of
work piece is important.
(4)They are frequently used with sine bar to measure angle of work
piece.
(5)They can be used to check gap between parallel locations.
