The upper and lower surfaces of the measuring jaws are parallel to the
base, so that it can be used for measurements over or under a surface. With a
scribing attachment in place of measuring jaw, this can be used to scribe lines at
certain distance over the surface.

Work piece
SPECIFICATION:
DESCRIPTION:
The Diagrammatic optical layout is as shown in the figure given with all
the essential parts labeled and the detailed scheme of incident rays & reflected
rays clearly indicated. The instrument uses the basic principle of reflection. A
plane parallel beam of light projected on to a plane reflecting surface placed
normal to the beam is reflected back along the same path.
When the surface is slightly tilted the reflected beam returns but now deviated
through double the angle through which reflecting surface is turned. The
amount of displacement can be measured with the help of the micrometer which
was already adjusted in the zero position. The instrument is placed in the
horizontal position always.

Base pitch= m*cos Ø (mm) (For Ø = 20)
W= Nm sin(90/N) (mm)
PROCEDURE:
The gear tooth thickness varies from the tip to the base circle of the tooth
and it is generally measured at the pitch circle. The tooth thickness is measured
by a gear tooth vernier caliper. It has two vernier scale perpendicular to each
other. The horizontal vernier scale is used to measure the thickness of the gear
tooth at the pitch line (chordal thickness of the teeth) and vertical vernier scale
is used to measure the depth of the tooth(from the top of a tooth to the chord).
Fix the vernier at the pitch line and measure at three positions and tabulate the
readings.
The values obtained by gear tooth vernier caliper can be checked with the
theoretical value.
The depth (from the top of the tooth to the chord) of the tooth is measured
by means of gear tooth vernier caliper at three positions and the readings are
tabulated.
