    This document discusses engineering measurement methods. It defines measuring and gauging, giving examples of tools for each. Reasons for conducting inspections on produced parts include determining good or bad parts, achieving interchangeability, and improving precision instruments. The rule of 10 states the measuring instrument should be 10 times more precise than the tolerance measured. Resolution is important for instrument selection as it determines the smallest distinguishable measurement. The document also covers systematic vs random errors, Abbe's Law, types of measurements, and factors affecting measurement accuracy like temperature. Calibration ensures instruments produce accurate readings.

    ANSWER ASSIGNMENT DPM20133 ENGINEERING MEASUREMENT METHOD

    1. Define the term of measuring and gauging and give examples of tools for each term
    Measuring - Comparing the length or angle with the scale of a measuring instrument. E.g
    vernier calliper, micrometre
    Gauging - Comparing a part against a gauge such as plug gauge, to determine whether or not
    the part is within the specified limits. E.g snap gage, plug gage
    2. Why do we need to conduct inspections on produced part?
    • To determine good or bad parts
    • To achieve interchangeability
    • To improve and develop precision measuring instruments
    • To support the manufacturing department
    3. What is the rule of 10 in factor of selecting measuring instrument?
    The measuring instrument should be 10 times or percent more precise than the tolerance to
    be measured.
    4. Why the factor of resolution is very important during selection of measuring instrument
    The greater the resolution of the instrument, the smaller will be the things it can resolve and
    the greater will be the magnification required to expand these measurements up to the point
    where they can be observed the naked eye.
    5. State the difference between systematic error & random error
    Systematic error Random error
    It occurs constantly under the same It occurs naturally and is inherent in the
    measurement condition and can be detected. measuring process.
    Can be largely eliminated. It is the result of random situations and is
    difficult to detect and eliminate.
    For example: Thermal expansion of metal is For example: The workpiece is located
    affected by the temperature. wrongly when being held in the fixture.

    6. What is Abbe’s Law?


    It states that ‘maximum accuracy may be obtained when the standard is in line with the axis
    of the workpiece to be measured’.
    7. Discuss the type of measurement and give example for each
    Direct measurement
    The length of the workpiece is compared directly against the line of measuring instrument such
    as vernier caliper, micrometer etc.
    Indirect Measurement
    The value is obtained by using an intermediary /third party such as caliper, then comparing
    the measurement obtained against a scale of measuring instrument such as steel ruler.
    Comparative Measurement
    The measurement is through comparing between the standard such as gauge blocks and the
    workpiece
    8. State the difference between measuring and gauging
    Measuring is the general act of determining dimensions or quantities, often expressed in
    standard units, while gauging is a specific form of measurement focused on ensuring that an
    object or part meets predefined specifications or tolerances.
    9. How the environment can affect the accuracy of measuring system
    The environment can significantly impact the accuracy of a measuring system. Various
    environmental factors can introduce errors or uncertainties into measurements, affecting the
    reliability and precision of the data obtained. Expansion due to heat, the length of a body is
    different at different temperatures. A standard temperature of 20 C has been fixed for the
    measurement.
    10. What is the purpose of calibration?
    • Read out device produces zero output for zero measured input
    • Display output equivalent to known measured input.
    • To get as near as possible condition of actual measuring
