CONICAL FUNNEL

AIM: To make a conical funnel, using the given sheet metal


APPARATUS TOOLS REQUIRED:

300 mm steel rule, divider, protractor, scriber, straight and bent snips, protractor,
mallet and funnel stake.
MATERIAL REQUIRED: G.I sheet

PROCEDURE:

1. The size of the given sheet is checked with a steel rule.

2. The development of the cone is marked on the given sheet by using scriber.

3. The angle subtended by the arc of the sector is calculated from the relation,

θ = 360o x radius of the base circle of the cone / slant height .

4. The allowance for folding and bending is added to the development

5. The waste metal is cut-away by using the straight and bent snips.

6. The development of the cone is folded by using the funnel stake, after
forming the single hemmed joint.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:

1. Avoid feeling the cut portion by hand while cutting with snip.
2. Do not let sheet metal slip through your hands. Most cuts from sheet metal
results from allowing it to slide through the hands.
3. Use snips only for metal that can be cut by force applied by hand.
4. Hand snips should never be used to cut wires. Such practice ruins the cutting
edges of the blades.

RESULT: Thus Conical funnel is made, from the given sheet metal as per

dimensions.
