SCREW GUAGE

Object: Introduction of screw gauge finding diameter thickness and volume of lend shot
wire and glass Plate

EQUIPMENT AND MATERIAL:

1. Screw gauge
2. Wire
3. A sheet of paper
4. An irregular lamina
5. A centimeter graph paper
6. A pointed pencil

DEFINITION:

The screw gauge is an instrument used for measuring exactly the diameter of a thin wire or the
width of a sheet of metal. It comprises of a U-shaped mount which is fixed with a screwed pin
which is fixed to a thimble. Side by side to the axis of the thimble, a scale passed in mm is
inscribed. Having a U shaped metallic mount, a screw gauge measures even the tiniest length
with exact accuracy.

PROCEDURE:

Determine the pitch and least count of the screw gauge using the equations (1) and (2)
respectively.

1. Bring the anvil and screw in contact with each other and find the zero error. Do it three
times and record them. If there is no zero error, then record 'zero error nil'.
2. Move the screw away from the anvil and place the lead shot and move the screw towards
the anvil using the ratchet head. Stop when the ratchet slips without moving the screw.
3. Note the number of divisions on the pitch scale that is visible and uncovered by the edge
of the cap. The reading Nis called the pitch scale reading (PSR).
4. Note the number (n) of the division of the circular scale lying over the reference line.
5. Repeat steps 4 and 5 after rotating the lead shot by 900 for measuring the diameter in a
perpendicular direction. Record the observations in the tabular column.
6. Find total reading using the equation 3 and apply zero correction in each case:
7. Take the mean of different values.
