QUESTION 1
a) Define following equipment and give each an example
i. measuring instrument
graduated calibrated instruments which are used to determine the actual dimensions of the work
piece for the comparison with the desire size.
ii. gauges
equipment used to determine if the work piece is good or bad result without providing the actual
dimension.
iii. precision instrument
precision instrument are those which have ability to measure part accurately. Ex; Micrometers and
vernier caliper.
iv. non-precision instrument
non-precision instrument are limited to the measurements of parts to a visible line graduation on the
instrument used, such as ruler.
(8 marks)
b) Give four (4) factors which contributed to measurement error
The measuring device itself
Method of measurement
Environment factor such as temperature, dust, moisture, air pressures
Human factors such as concentration and judgment, attention, practice and activity of vision
( 4 marks)
c) What are the advantages of vernier height gauge over regular vernier caliper
accurately measuring the height of components, using the surface table as the datum
can be attached to scriber for direct marking of measurement

QUESTION 3
a) Define
i. manual sawing
removal of small chips by means of many chisel-type cutting edges (teeth) arranged behind one another
along the narrow edge of a saw blade; a large number of these cutting edges are effective at the same time.
ii. reaming
Reaming is a process for enlarging, smoothing and l or accurately sizing existing holes by means of
multiedge fluted cutting tools called reamers.
iii. tapping
Tapping is the process of creating screw threads, called threading
(6 marks)
b) Sketch and label a regular hacksaw used in handwork practice

(2 marks)
c) Give two (2) factors which govern the grade of a saw blade
Material

Pitch (any two of the answer)

Hardening method

(2 marks)

d) Briefly explain the steps of performing manual tapping process. Include sketch if necessary to aid your answer
i.

Step 1 :Drilling : A hole is drilled to a diameter smaller then the outside diameter of the thread on the tap.

ii.

Step 2 : Countersinking

iii.

Step 3 : Taper : A hole is drilled to a diameter smaller then the outside diameter of the thread on the tap.

iv.

Step 4 : Plug : use plug tap to reach the bottom of hole

v.

Step 5 : Bottoming : threads are cut at the bottom of the hole with a Bottoming tap.
