    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 Range: L. C: Micrometer Range: L. C:

    Dial gauge Range: L. C:

    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: 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.

    Er.J.Sankar

    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.

    5. Compare both the value and find out the error on measurement.

    Result:

    Thus the measurement of the temperature using thermocouple and

    thermometer was measured.

    MEASUREMENT OF FORCE USING STRAIN GAUGE ASSISTED FORCE

    MEASUREMENT SETUP

    Aim:

    To measure the force using force measurement setup.

    Apparatus:

    Standard Weight, Force Measuring apparatus

    Specification:

    Standard Weight Range 50-500 grams

    Tabulation:

    Sl.No

    Procedure:

    1. Switch on the power supply of the force measuring setup with no load condition and calibrate it to zero initial readings.

    2. Gradually add the loads from 100 grams to 5oo grams with 1oo grams incremental and tabulate the indicated force value in the table.

    3. Compare the obtained value with actual value and compute the error value.

    4. Draw the obtained value Vs Actual value plot.

    Result:

    Thus the force measurement by force measuring apparatus

    successfully carried out and the plot between obtained value Vs actual

    value also drawn.
