TUTORIAL SHEET- 2 (Jigs and Fixtures Design, and Gauge Design)

1. State the purpose of gauges. Discuss the design of i) snap gauge, ii) plug gauge, iii) flush
pin gauge, iv) thread gauge, and v) angle gauge
2. Sketch and explain
a) pilot plug gauge b) taper plug gauge c) snap gauge
3. Draw and sketch a snap gauge to check shaft of diameter 210-0.03
4. Design and sketch a flush pin gauge to measure a hole depth of 50 ± 0.10 mm. with diameter
varying from 25 mm to 18 mm, in a mild steel workpiece of outer rectangular shape of 100
mm × 50 mm.
5. A hole and shaft system has the following dimensions:
60 mmH8/c8
The standard tolerance is given by
I  0.453 D  0.001D
Where D= Diameter of geometric mean of steps, mm
I = standard tolerance, micron
The multiplier for grade 8 is 25. The fundamental deviation for shaft c for D>40 is given by
-(95 +0.8D)
The diameter range lies between 50 to 80 mm. Sketch the fit and show on it the actual
dimensions of hole and shaft. Name the class of fit. Also, design the suitable gauges to
check the hole and the shaft.
6. A limit gauge is required to check the hole 50 +0.339 mm (50 H8). The depth of hole is 200
mm. Design the gauge and sketch it with dimensions.
7. Design a centre distance gauge to measure a centre distance of 52 mm between two holes in
a mild steel component. The two holes have the diameter of  15 H9 and  14 H10.
8. Explain the technical supply conditions for gauges?
9. Discuss the various materials used for gauge manufacture.

Design the suitable gauges based on Taylor’s principle.
11. Whether the gauges should be cared for before and after use? Explain.
12. What is the difference between a limit gauge and a non-limit gauge (standard gauge).
13. Describe the essential characteristics of an indexing jig.
14. Explain the function of each basic element of a fixture. Which material is referred for each
element; give reasons for your choice.
15. A hole of 50 mm is to be drilled in a 100 mm diameter rod which has a tolerance of ±0.25
mm. V-block fixture is to be used. Determine the possible variations from the centre line of
the drill bushing when: i) 90o V-block is used, ii) 70o V-block is used, iii) 120o V-block is
used. Sketch the fixture.
16. Describe welding fixture by giving suitable example.
17. List various types of quick acting clamps.
18. Write a note on classification of tools.
