Engineering Measurement

This document discusses different types of engineering gauges used to measure dimensions. It describes plain gauges, types of gauges according to their purpose or the surface being tested. Fixed gauges are advantageous because they provide uniform dimensional references and do not require power. Examples of gauges discussed include plain plug gauges, snap gauges, adjustable gap gauges, combined limit gauges, radius gauges, and position gauges. The document is a lecture on engineering measurement that outlines gauges and their applications.

Advantage of fixed gauges
1- provide positive dimensional information

2- portable and independent of power supply availability

3- involve no other auxiliary equipment and set ups

4- can be designed to check combinations of several


dimensions comprising lengths diameter and angles.

5- can be designed to check inspect interrelated features, for


size, location, form, alignment

6- provide uniform reference standards

7- are not expensive

Advantages of gauges with renewable ends

1- Worn or damaged end can be replaced conveniently

2- In the event of scraping of gauge, handle can be used for


other gauge

3- To reduce the weight, handle can be made of plastic

Contour Gauges
1- employed checking the dimensional accuracy and shape
of irregular work

2- radius gauges are employed for checking the shape of


fillets. The radius gauge which is used for gauging
both internal and external radii

3- Other types of simple contour gauges are those for thread


pitches. Cutting coot angles, form tools profiles and gear
tooth profiles
