EXPERIMENT No, ; | 2. SCREW GAUGE [i Aim: : To measure the (i) thickness of the given glass plate and (ii) diameter of the given wire, Apparatus : Screw gauge, glass plate and metal wire. Description : Ascrew gauge consists of a U-shaped metallic frame ‘Fa shown in figure. To one end of this rame,a flat shaftS, (stud) is fixed. On the opposite end oF Foa, hollow, long cylinder *C’ is fixed, The hollow cylinder has) fine threads cut inside it and it serves as the nut. On the outer surface of this hollow cylinder. 2 line, parallel to its axis, called index line is drawn and is divided into equal divisions. This serves as the pitch scale (P).A serew witha flat tip Shaving threads exactly identical tothe threads cut inside the cylinder, moves through the cylinder “C'To the other end ofthe serew a milled head ‘M's conected, To this milled head, one end of the barrel “B’ is conféeted. This barrel ‘B’ forms a jacket to the first hollow cylinder Cc. ‘The other end of the barrel is tapered and has 100 or 50 equal divisions on it. This is called the head scale. LEAST COUNT (L.Cj=
