Chapter 6 Measuring
Objectives • Perform measurements using tools in the chapter • Have a working understanding of the metric and English systems of measurement
Vernier Caliper • Movable scale runs parallel to fixed scale • Can measure inside and outside diameter • Most will measure 0 to 7 inches in thousandths • Can measure depth
Reading Vernier Caliper • Main scale is divided into inches • Each inch is divided into tenths (0.100") • Area between tenth measurement is divided into four segments, each .025"
Micrometers • Precision measuring • Consistent and accurate measurements • Adjusts to compensate for wear
Reading a Micrometer • Metric or standard • Each rotation of thimble is equal to .025" • Four rotations will equal .100" • Each line on the thimble represents .001" • Some will measure to .0001"
Inside Micrometer • Measures cylinder bores and main or rod bearing bores • Extension rods to make them fit different size bores
Telescoping Gauge • Transfer gauge • Different sizes to measure all sizes of bores • Ends of tool telescope is out to make contact with bore • After lock is set • Tool removed from bore and measured with micrometer
Dial Indicators • Measure movements such as back lash and end play • Also used to measure wear, taper, and out-of-round
