Vernier Calliper

Vernier Calliper is a widely used linear

measurement instrument with the Least
count of 0.02 mm. It is used to measure
linear dimensions like length, diameter,
depth.
It is Basic Instrument of measurement,
consist of two types of scale

The main scale and the Vernier scale can

slide along the main scale. Two types of
measurement we can do, the first one is
through the external jaw (measure
external dimensions) and another one is
internal jaw (measure internal
dimensions).
 MICROMETRE
External Micrometre is also known as
Outside Micrometre or External
Micrometre.
It is used to check outside diameter of
circle by the means of the accuracy of 0.01
mm or up to 0.001 mm.
 Flange Micrometre
The flange outside micrometre has disc-shaped
faces with flanges for measuring the pitch of gear
teeth, and used for taking precise outside diameter
(OD) measurements.

STEEL SCALE
Steel scale is single piece linear measuring
instrument. Steel scale indicates two units that
are cm and inches, cm division on one side and
inches, on another side.
 VERNIER HEIGHT GAUGE
Vernier height gauge used to measure
vertical dimension from reference ground.
Vernier Height Gauge consist of a
graduated scale or bar is held in a vertical
position by a finely ground fixed base.
The graduated scale has least count of
0.02 mm like Vernier Calliper has. And the
way of taking a reading of measurement
in Vernier Height Gauge is same as in
Vernier gauge.
 BEVEL PROTECTOR
A Bevel Protractor is an angular measuring instrument capable of
measuring angles with a least count of 5’.

The protractor dial is graduated in degrees with every tenth degree

numbered. The sliding blade is fitted into this dial I.e. it may be
extended to either direction and set at an angle to the base.

DIAL GAUGE (Plunger, Level)

The dial indicator or the Plunger dial gauge is one of the simplest and
the most widely used mechanical comparator. Lever Dial Gauge also
knew as Test Indicator. It used to measure sensitive contact.
Lever Dial gauge usually measure up to 0.80 mm. But some special
type lever dial design for measurement up to 2 mm.
 V BLOCK
In Industries where precise marking and firm holding of objects is
required, V-Blocks play a major role and are extremely important
metalworking jigs.
The construction had two clamps: screw clamp and a U-shaped
handle like clamp and a V Block
The materials used are hardened tool steel and cast iron. The V-block
is used as a locator and a centralizer.
It is mostly used to fit round or cylindrical objects tight and rigid for
easy marking or cutting.
 RADIUS GAUGE
Gauges are derived from the French word
“jauge” which means the result of the
measurement. We are all aware that gauges
are used to measure the thickness, size or
capacity of something.
Likewise, radius gauges are instruments that
are used to measure the radius of the object.

The radius gauge is combined with another

gauge known as fillet gauge which in
mechanics means a rounding of the part
design.
 THREAD RING GAUGE
A thread ring gauge use for checking the
threaded parts. These gauges are
typically cylindrical in shape and are
fabricated from a stable material (usually
tool steel) with a highly precise (very high-
tolerance) bore in their centre that
functions as the gauge for the outer
diameter of the parts.
