Total Runout: involves moving the dial indicator along the length of the
part while the part is rotated, so that it controls the cumulative variations of
circularity, cylindricity, straightness, coaxiality, angularity, taper, and profile.
Rotating the stylus: involves keeping the component fixed while rotating
the measuring transducer.
Rotate the stylus while keeping the component stationary. This is usually
performed on small high precision components but is also useful for
measuring large, non-circular, for example measurement of a cylinder bore
using this method would not require rotation of the complete engine block.
Least Square Reference Circle (LSC): is a circle where the sum of areas
inside this circle is equal to the sum of the areas outside the circle and kept
to a minimum separation.
The out of roundness value is the difference between the maximum and
minimum radial departure from the reference circle centre. This is a very
convenient reference circle to derive, as it is mathematically precise.
Least square circle (LSC): It is a circle which separates the roundness profile of an
object by separating the sum of total areas of the inside and outside it in equal
amounts. The roundness error then can be estimated as the difference between the
maximum and minimum distance from this reference circle
Minimum Zone circle (MZC): Here two circles are used as reference for measuring
the roundness error. One circle is drawn outside the roundness profile just as to
enclose the whole of it and the other circle is drawn inside the roundness profile so
that it just inscribes the profile. The roundness error here is the difference between
the radiuses of the two circles.
Minimum circumcised circle (MCC): It is defined as the smallest circle which
encloses whole of the roundness profile. Here the error is the largest deviation from
this circle
Maximum inscribed circle (MIC): It is defined as the largest circle that can be
inscribed inside the roundness profile. The roundness error here again is the
maximum deviation of the profile from this inscribed circle.
Note that the Ecc "Eccentricity" value is 0.1 m <0.5 m that is the
surface is correctly centered.
The roundness equals to 1.11 m which indicates that the edges
and the corner of the object is smooth.
Tolerance was 10 m
was 172 (angle from the datum point to the profile center).
The measurement range was 100 m
