ae | EXPERIMENT-10 TAPER ANGLE MEASUREMENT AIM: To measure taper angles using sine bar, rollers and Bevel protractor. TOOLS REQUIRED: — Tworollers of equal diameter, Micrometer, Sine Bar, slip gauge set. ‘THEORY: Taper is defined as uniform reduction in dimension (may be width, height or diameter) over specified length. For example for the shank of a twist drill bit, ifthe taper is specified as 1:10, it means that for every 10 mm length there will be a reduction of diameter by 1 mm (from major to minor dia). Taper is employed on elements like cotter, keys and shanks of twist drill bits, end mills, reamers adapters etc. Presence of taper enables self locking ofthe element in the corresponding mating part. Slip Gauges: Slip gauges for rectangular blocks of alloy steel having a cross section of about 30 by 10 mm. ‘These blocks are carefully finished on the measuring faces to such a fine degree of finish. Flatness and accuracy that any two such faces when perfectly clean may be ‘wiring’ together. This is accomplished by pressing the faces into contact and then imparting a small twisting motion whilst maintaining contact pressure, When two gauges are wrung or more blocks so joined is exactly the sum of the constituent gauges. By combining gauges from a suitably arranged combination, almost any dimension may be built up. ‘THEORY & PRINCIPLE: The high degree of precision available for linear measurement in the form of slip gauges can be utilised for the measurement of angles with the aid of a very simple and best measuring tool known as sine bar. The principle involved in this measurement was that the sine bar, slip gauges and the datum surface i.e, surface plate on which they lay form a right-angled triangle. The sine bar forms as hypotenuse ofthe right angled triangle and the slip gauges form the side opposite to the required angle. If is the angle to be measured and if His the height of sip gauge and L isthe length ofthe sine bar, from the right- angled triangle. PROCEDURE: 1» Place the Taper specimen on the surface plate as shown in the figure. «- Pile up slip gauge combinations of equal heights H1 and place them on opposite sides of taper specimen «Place two rollers of equal diameter on slip gauge combinations. ‘Take measurement over the rollers with the help of micrometer (say M1) “Take slip gauge combinations of another height #12 and repeat steps 3 and 4 let the measurement over the rollers be M2 10s the included angle of taper specimen. Taper angle may be obtained as follows: iformity of taper H2 may be varied by two to three values and ‘8° may be calculated. + To check the uni Verify the obtained taper angle using Bevel Protractor.Experimental Set Up.along with slip gauges for the measurement of angles sine bar is used: Te consists of Wen angle within very close limits & steel bar and ty ers.
