ME1304 ENGINEERING METROLOGY AND MEASUREMENTS 3 0 0 100
(Common to Mechanical and Automobile)
OBJECTIVE
To understand the principles of metrology and measurements, methods of measurement and its application in manufacturing industries.
1. CONCEPT OF MEASUREMENT 9
General concept – Generalised measurement system-Units and standards-measuring instruments- sensitivity, readability, range of accuracy, precision-static and dynamic response-repeatability-
systematic and random errors-correction, calibration, interchangeability.
2. LINEAR AND ANGULAR MEASUREMENT 9
Definition of metrology-Linear measuring instruments: Vernier, micrometer, interval measurement, Slip gauges and classification, interferometery, optical flats, limit gauges- Comparators: Mechanical, pneumatic and electrical types, applications.
Angular measurements:-Sine bar, optical bevel protractor, angle Decker – Taper measurements, coordinate measuring machine (CMM).
3. FORM MEASUREMENT 9
Measurement of screw threads-Thread gauges, floating carriage micrometer-measurement of gears-tooth thickness-constant chord and base tangent method-Gleason gear testing machine – radius measurements-surface finish, straightness, flatness and roundness measurements.
4. LASER AND ADVANCES IN METROLOGY 9
Precision instruments based on laser-Principles- laser interferometer-application in linear, angular measurements and machine tool metrology
Coordinate measuring machine (CMM)- Constructional features – types, applications – digital devices- computer aided inspection.
5. MEASUREMENT OF POWER, FLOW AND TEMPERATURE RELATED PROPERTIES 9
Force, torque, power :-mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic and electrical type-Flow measurement: Venturi, orifice, rotameter, pitot tube –Temperature: bimetallic strip, pressure thermometers, thermocouples, electrical resistance thermister.
