    Lab Report 2

    Objectives

    The primary objectives of this lab were to:

    1. Measure the angle between the hexagonal sides of two nuts


    using a protractor.

    2. Measure the width of a slip gauge using a micrometer and its


    thickness using a Vernier caliper.

    3. Calculate the angle formed by a sine bar and the slip gauge
    using trigonometric principles.

    Equipment and Tools

    During the lab, the following tools were observed:

    1. Square Head: Used for verifying the squareness of components.

    2. Center Head: Employed to locate the center of cylindrical


    objects.

    3. Micrometer: A precision instrument for measuring small


    dimensions with high accuracy.

    4. Vernier Caliper (0.02 mm vernier constant): Utilized for precise


    measurements of length, depth, and internal and external
    diameters.

    5. Sine Bar (100 mm length): Used alongside slip gauges for


    precise angle measurements.

    6. Slip Gauge: Precision gauge blocks for calibrating measuring


    equipment and setting up workpieces.

    7. Protractor: An instrument for measuring angles.


    Components Measured

    The components measured during the lab included:

    1. Mini Nut: The angle between its hexagonal sides was measured
    using a protractor.

    2. Larger Nut: The angle between its hexagonal sides was also
    measured using a protractor.

    3. Slip Gauge: Its width was measured using a micrometer, and its
    thickness was measured using a Vernier caliper.

    4. Sine Bar and Slip Gauge Setup: Used to calculate the angle
    formed between them.

    Procedure and Measurements

    1. Measuring the Angle of Nuts using a Protractor

    o Mini Nut: The angle between its hexagonal sides was


    determined to be 59.6 degrees, rounded to 60 degrees.

    o Larger Nut: The angle between its hexagonal sides was


    exactly 60 degrees.

    2. Measuring the Slip Gauge

    o Width Measurement Using Micrometer:

    ▪ The width of the slip gauge was measured with


    the micrometer, resulting in a reading of 27.54
    mm.

    o Thickness Measurement Using Vernier Caliper:

    ▪ The thickness of the slip gauge was measured


    with the Vernier caliper, resulting in a reading of
    17.8 mm.
    3. Calculating the Angle Formed by the Sine Bar and Slip Gauge

    o Given the length of the sine bar (hypotenuse) as 100


    mm and the thickness of the slip gauge (opposite side)
    as 17.8 mm, the angle (theta) was calculated using the
    sine function:

    sin(θ)=opp/hyp =17.8/100 = 0,178

    o By taking the inverse sine of 0.178, the angle theta was


    found to be approximately 10.25 degrees.

    Discussion

    • Micrometer: This highly precise tool measures small


    dimensions, providing readings typically in millimeters or inches
    with a precision of up to 0.01 mm or finer.

    • Vernier Caliper: This versatile instrument measures various


    dimensions, including internal and external diameters, depths,
    and lengths. The vernier constant of 0.02 mm indicates its
    measurement precision.

    • Sine Bar and Slip Gauge: Using a sine bar with slip gauges allows
    for accurate angle measurements. The sine bar’s length and the
    slip gauge’s height form a relationship that enables angle
    calculation through trigonometric functions.

    Conclusion

    The lab effectively demonstrated the use of precision measurement


    tools. Accurate measurements of the nut angles, slip gauge dimensions,
    and the angle formed by the sine bar and slip gauge were achieved. The
    hands-on experience enhanced understanding of these tools and
    underscored the importance of precision in metrology, which is crucial
    for ensuring the quality and accuracy of manufactured components in
    engineering and manufacturing processes.
