METROLOGY

METROLOGY
DATUM PLANE
The foundation for all dimensional measurements is the
‘datum plane’, the most important ones being the
surface plate and the V-block.
A surface plate is a hard, solid, and horizontal flat plate,

which is used as the reference plane for precision
inspection, marking out, and precision tooling set-up
The surface plates are made either from cast iron or

from granite.

V BLOCKS
V-blocks are extensively used for inspection of jobs with

a circular cross section. The major purpose of a V-block
is to hold cylindrical workpieces to enable
measurement.
The angle of the V is 90°, though an angle of 120° is

preferred in some cases.
It is made of high-grade steel.
DESIGN OF LINEAR MEASUREMENT
INSTRUMENT
1. The measuring accuracy of line-graduated instruments depends on the original

accuracy of the line graduations.
2. Any instrument incorporating a scale is a suspect unless it provides compensation
against wear.
3. Attachments can enhance the versatility of instruments.
4. Instruments such as calipers depend on the feel of the user for their precision.
5. One important element of reliability of an instrument is its readability
6. the contact force should be optimum to avoid distortion.
GRADUATED SCALES
DEPTH GAUGE
Depth gauge is the preferred instrument for

measuring holes, grooves, and recesses. It
basically consists of a graduated rod or rule, which
can slide in a T-head (simply called the head) or
stock.
COMBINATION SET
A combination set has three devices built into it: a combination square comprising a
square head and a steel rule, a protractor head, and a center head. While the combination
square can be used as a depth or height gauge, the protractor head can measure the
angles of jobs. The center head comes in handy for measuring diameters of jobs having a
circular cross section.
CALLIPERS
Dimension transferring instrument:

-Physically duplicate the separation
between the reference point and measured
point of any dimension within the range.
VERNIER CALLIPER
A vernier caliper consists of two main parts: the main scale engraved on a solid L-shaped
frame and the vernier scale that can slide along the main scale. The sliding nature of the
vernier has given it another name—sliding calliper. The main scale is graduated in
millimeters, up to a least count of 1mm. The vernier also has engraved graduations
VERNIER DEPTH AND HEIGHT GAUGE
MICROMETER
The word ‘micrometer’ is known by two different meanings. The first is as a unit of
measure, being one thousandth of a millimeter. The second meaning is a hand-held
measuring instrument using a screw-based mechanism
VERNIER DEPTH AND HEIGHT GAUGE
SLIP GAUGE
Slip gauges also known as Gauge blocks or Johannson gauges are

cuboidal-shaped blocks of high-grade steel with a high finish. They are
used mainly used as measuring standards in the engineering field.
These are first hardened to resist wear and carefully stabilized so that
they are independent of any subsequent variation in size or shape.
The longer gauges in the set and length bars are hardened only locally at
their measuring ends.
SLIP GAUGE(103 pcs-set)
1. One piece of 1.005mm.
2. 2. 49 pieces ranging from 1.01 to 1.49mm in steps of 0.01mm.
3. 49 pieces ranging from 0.5 to 24.5mm in steps of 0.5mm
4. Four pieces ranging from 25 to 100mm in steps of 25mm
A set of 56 slip gauges consists of the following:

4. One piece of 1.0005mm
5. 2. Nine pieces ranging from 1.001 to 1.009mm in steps of 0.001mm
8. 5. 25 pieces ranging from 1 to 25mm in steps of 1.0mm
9. 6. Three pieces ranging from 25 to 75mm in steps of 25mm
WRINGLING OF SLIP GAUGES
FEELER GAUGES
Feeler gauges, also known as thickness ga

uges or feeler gages, are mechanical meas
urement instruments that are used to provi
de a precise reading of the gap that exists
between two parallel surfaces, such as the
clearance between two machine parts or el
ements
