INTERNAL EXAM 3(ANSWER KEY)

1. Define major and minor diameters of thread measured ----------2

2. Differeniate between helix angle & flank angle.

----------2

3. Draw the floating carriage micrometer with description

----------2

4. Define: Straightness of a line in two planes.

----------2

A line is said to be straight over a given length, of the variation of the distance of its points from two planes perpendicular to each other and parallel to the direction of a line remaining within the specified tolerance limits 5. Define: Roundness. Name the four measurement of roundness. ----------2

It is a surface of revolution where all the surfaces intersected 'by any plane perpendicular to a common axis in case of, cylinder and cone. a. Heart square circle. b. Minimum radial separation circle. c. Maximum inscribed circle. d. Minimum circumscribed circle. 6. Name the devices used for measurement of roundness. 1. Diametral 2. Circumferential confining gauge. 3. Rotating on center. V-Block Three point probe Accurate spindle. 7. What are the stylus probe instruments? a) Profilo meter b) Taylor Hobson Talysurf c) Tomlinson surface meter 8. Name the various types of pitch errors found in screw?

----------2

----------2

----------2
(i) Progressive error (ii) Drunken error (iii) Periodic error (iv) Irregular errors. 9. What is the effect of flank angle error? ----------2 Errors in the flank cause a virtual increase in the effective diameter of a bolt and decrease in that, of nut. 10What are the applications of toolmaker's microscope? ----------2 (i) Linear measurement (ii) Measurement of pitch of the screw (iii) Measurement of thread angle
