UNIT I CONCEPT OF MEASUREMENT 9
General concept – Generalised measurement system-Units and standards-measuring
instruments: sensitivity, stability, range, accuracy and precision-static and dynamic
response-repeatability-systematic and random errors-correction, calibration -
Introduction to Dimensional and Geometric Toleranceing - interchangeability,
UNIT II LINEAR AND ANGULAR MEASUREMENT 9
Definition of metrology-Linear measuring instruments: Vernier, micrometer, Slip gauges
and classification, - Tool Makers Microscope - interferometery, optical flats, -
Comparators: limit gauges Mechanical, pneumatic and electrical comparators,
applications. Angular measurements: -Sine bar, Sine center, bevel protractor and angle
Decker..
