This document contains 16 questions about measurement standards and precision instruments used in mechanical engineering. It asks about how temperature affects precision measurements, how vernier scales provide higher accuracy than standard scales, the difference between tolerances and allowances, types of fits between parts, the difference between precision and accuracy, why different grades of gauge blocks are used, how ring gauges and plug gauges differ, why micrometers are used to measure mechanical components precisely, how pressure gauges are specified, and the working principles of vernier callipers, micrometer screw gauges, optical and mechanical-optical comparators, vernier bevel protractors, and optical bevel protractors.
