    A planimeter is an instrument used to measure irregular areas. It has a tracing arm, tracing point, anchor arm, and other parts. The tracing point is moved around the outline of the area to integrate its measurement. The planimeter allows measuring irregular figures by tracing the boundary and reading the area value directly from its dial or vernier scale. This document provides instructions on using a planimeter to measure irregular areas accurately.

    PLATE NO.

    MEASURING OF IRREGULAR AREA USING PLANIMETER

    INTRODUCTION:

    A planimeter is a table-top instrument for measuring areas, usually the areas of irregular
    regions on a map or photograph. They were once common, but have now largely been
    replaced by digital tools.
    Parts of a Planimeter
    Before we start with how to use planimeter, first let us know about the parts of a
    planimeter.

    Following are the parts of a planimeter:


     Weight and needle point
     Tracing arm
     Tracing point
     Anchor arm
     Clamp
     Hinge
     Tangent screw
     Index
     Wheel
     Dial Fig. 1
     Vernier

    Tracing Arm content/uploads/2016/12/
    Tracing arm is an arm which manages the position of tracing point at one end with the
    help of hinge.

    Tracing Point
    Tracing point is the movable needle point which is connected to tracing arm. This point is
    moved over the outline of area to be measured.

    Anchor Arm
    Anchor arm is used to manage the anchor position or needle point position on the plan.
    Its one end is connected to weight and needle point and other end to the integrating unit.

    Weight and Needle Point


    It is also called as anchor. A fine needle point is located at the base of heavy block. This
    needle point is anchored at required station on the plan.

    Clamp
    Clamp is used to fix the tracing arm in standard length without any extension.
    Hinge

    The tracing arm and anchor arm are connected by hinge to the integrating unit. With the
    help of this hinge the arms can rotate about their axes.

    Tangent Screw
    Tangent screw is used to extend the tracing arm up to required length.

    Index
    Index is a location where all the measuring arrangements like wheel, dial are located.

    Wheel
    Wheel is fixed in the integrating unit which helps to measure the tracing length. It is used
    to set zero on the scale.

    Dial
    Dial is nothing but scale which is to be set zero at the initial level using setting wheel.

    Vernier
    Vernier is attached to the wheel as rounded drum with graduations on it. It is divided into
    100 parts.

    SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES:

    This plate aims for the students:

    1. To measure the area of an irregular figures using planimeter.


    MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENTS:

    Planimeter Bond paper

    PROCEDURE AND REQUIREMENTS:

    Take the difference of their areas, and we are left with the area of rectangle PQRS.
