 Introduction
 The science of measurement.

 The purpose of this discipline is to establish means of determining physical quantities, such as

dimensions, temperature, force, etc.

 Common measuring instruments: Micrometre, Sine bar, Screw pitch gauge, radius gauge, feeler gauge,

height gauge, depth gauge, digital temperature gauge.

Least count

 It is the smallest value that an instrument can measure.

 It is inversely proportional to the precision of the measuring equipment.

 Micrometre

 A micrometre is an instrument used for making precise linear measurements of dimensions such

as diameter, thickness, and lengths of solid bodies. 

4
 Sine bar

 This tool is used for precise angular measurement.

 Accuracy up to 0.01mm/m of length of the sine bar can be obtained.

 Screw pitch Gauge

 Screw pitch gauges is used to determine the pitch of a thread on a screw or in a tapped hole.

 The thread pitch is the distance between corresponding points on adjacent threads.  

7
 Radius Gauge

 A radius gauge, also known as a fillet gauge is a tool used to measure the radius of an object.

 The gauge is placed against the edge to be checked.

8
 Feeller Gauge

 Feeler gauges, also called thickness gauges, are mechanical measurement instruments

that are used to provide a precise reading of the gap that exists between two parallel surfaces .

9
Height Gauge

 Height gauges are precision measuring instruments

used to determine the height of an object with extremely high

precision and accuracy.

 It also provides marked locations on the item relative to a

reference plane.

10
Depth Gauge
 Depth gauge is a precision measuring instrument that is used

to measure the depth of openings, grooves, recesses.

 They are available as digital depth gauge and Vernier depth

gauge.

 A diving depth gauge is a pressure gauge that displays the

equivalent depth below the free surface in water.

11
Digital Temperature Gauge

 Temperature gauges measure the thermal state of a

homogeneous substance.

 The measuring system must be brought as closely

together as possible with the body to be measured.

 Infrared Digital temperature gauge employ a lens to

focus the infrared light emitting from the object onto a

detector known as a thermopile. 12

 Working principle

 A infrared thermometer consists of optical components, IR detector, electronics, and a

display or interface output stage.

 Optical parts focus radiation energy onto the IR detector and filter out radiation outside the

desired wavelength band. 13
