1. CALIBRATION OF PRECISION MEASURING INSTRUMENTS

Aim: To study and calibrate the precision measuring instruments like Vernier caliper, Micrometer, and Dial gauge. Apparatus Required: Surface plate, Vernier caliper, Micrometer, Dial gauge, and Slip gauges. Specification: Vernier caliper Micrometer Dial gauge Study: 1.) Vernier caliper: 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 the length very accurately. Least Count is the smallest length that can be measured accurately and is equal to the difference between a main scale division and a Vernier scale division. LEAST COUNT = 1 Main scale division 1 Vernier scale division Uses: It is used to measure the external diameter, the internal diameter and the length of the given specimen. 2.) Micrometer: The micrometer has an accurate screw having about 10 to 20 threads/cm and revolves in a fixed nut. The end of the screw is one tip and the other is constructed by a stationary anvil. LEAST COUNT = Pitch scale division / Number of threads Pitch scale division = Distance moved / number of rotation Uses: Outside micrometer is used to measure the diameter of solid cylinder. Inside micrometer is used to measure the internal diameters of hollow cylinders and spheres. 3.) Dial gauge: Range: Range: Range: L. C: L. C: L. C:

The dial gauge has got 2 hands. The short hand reads in mm. One complete revolution of long hand reads one mm. The plunger of the dial gauge has to be placed on the surface whose dimension has to be read. Least Count = One division of the circular scale with long hand. Uses: It is used as a mechanical comparator. 4.) Slip gauges: They are rectangular blocks hardened and carefully stabilized. The surfaces are highly polished to 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. 5.) 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. Uses: It is used as a base in all measurements. Procedure For Calibration: 1.) The range of the instruments is noted down. 2.) Within that range, slip gauges are selected. 3.) The measuring instrument is placed on the surface plate and set for zero and the slip gauges are placed one by one between the measuring points (jaws of the instruments.) 4.) The slip gauge (actual) readings and the corresponding (observed) readings in the measuring instruments are noted down and tabulated.

Vibration exciter is an electrodynamic device. It consists of a powerful magnet placed centrally surrounding which is suspended the exciter coil. This assembly is enclosed by a high permeability magnetic circuit.
