MEASURING INSTRUMENT

A measuring instrument is a device for measuring a physical quantity. In the

physical sciences, quality assurance, and engineering, measurement is the
activity of obtaining and comparing physical quantities of real-world objects
and events

THERE ARE 2 TYPES OF MEASURING INSTRUMENT

1. VARIABLE INSTRUMENT
2. ATTRIBUTE INSTRUMENT

1. VARIABLE INSTRUMENT - THIS ARE MEASURABLE AND SHOW

RESULT IN NUMERIC FORM.
EXAMPLE - VERNIER CALIPER, MICROMETER, HEIGHT GAUGE etc.

2. ATTRIBUTE INSTRUMENT - THIS ARE NOT SHOW RESULT IN

NUMERIC FORM. ALL THE GAUGES ARE INCLUDE IN ATTRIBUTE
HAVE GO AND NO GO.
EXAMPLE - PLUG GAUGE, THREAD RING GAUGE, SPECIAL PLUG
GAUGE, THREAD PLUG GAUGE, SNAP GAUGE, etc.

Least count - The smallest value that can be measured by the measuring
instrument is called its least count. Measured values are good only up to this
value. ... A Vernier scale on caliper may have a least count of 0.02 mm
while a micrometer have least count of 0.001 mm.

LEAST COUNT OF VERNIER CALIPER - 0.02 mm OR 20 MICRON

MICROMETER - 0.001 mm OR 1 MICRON
PROFILE PROJECTOR - 0.001 mm OR 1 MICRON
HEIGHT GAUGE - 0.02 mm OR 20 MICRON
DIAL GAUGE - 0.001 mm to 0.01 mm
