AIM: To measure the height of the given job by using Vernier height gauge.
APPARATUS:Vernier height gauge. Different jobs.
THEORY:
The Vernier height gauge as shown in figure is another common Vernier principle based
instrument used for accurate measurements and marking of Vertical heights above a surface plate
datum. It can also be used to measure differences in heights by taking the Vernier scale readings
at each height and determining the difference by subtraction. It can be used for a number of
applications in the tool room and inspection department.
DESCRIPTION:
The Vernier height gauge is similar to a Vernier caliper except that the fixed jaw in this
case is replaced by a fixed base which rests on a surface plate or table when taking
measurements. The base is massive and robust in construction to ensure rigidity and stability. A
vertical graduated columns is supported on a massive base. The sliding jaw is attached to the
sliding vertical head. The sliding Vernier head is facilitated with clamping and fine adjustment
screws. The sliding jaw carries a removable clamp which can carry a measuring jaw or a scriber.
The upper and lower surfaces of the measuring jaw are parallel to base so that it can be
used for measurements over or under a surface. The scriber when attached, Vernier is used for
inspection of parts and for layout work. The scriber may in some cases be replaced by a dial
indicator. This provides easy and exact reading of slider movement by dial gauges which is
larger and clear. The all parts of gauge are made of good quality steel or stainless steel.
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN USE OF VERNIER HEIGHT GAUGE:
The height gauge should be kept in its case when not in use.
It should be tested for straightness, squareness, and parallelism of working faces of the
beam, measuring jaw and scriber.
When using gauge, care must be taken to ensure that the base is clean and free from
burrs.
The springing of the measuring jaw should be always avoided.
For taking final reading, the sliding jaw should be locked to the vertical column by
locking screw.

INTRODUCTION:
Resistance wire strain gauges are transducers applied to the surface of structural
members under test in order to sense the elongation or strain due to applied loads.
The wire strain gauges depends upon the fact that when the wire is stretched elastically, its
length & diameter are altered. This results in overall change of resistance due to both the
dimensional change of resistivity (R = ζ = q/A)
In addition to single bonded wire strain gauges we can have, metal foil gauges, rosette
gauges and semiconductor strain gauges. Normally strain gauges with nominal values of 120
ohms, 240 ohms, 330 ohms are available.
Strain gauge transducers find application in the measurement of such variables as load, force,
thrust, pressure, torque, displacement, flow etc.
The main problem with the resistance wire strain gauges is the extremely small
change in resistance as a result of change in the applied load. This makes the circuit operation
& strain gauge installation very critical.
Moreover temperature effects are also required to the taken care of.
PRECAUTION:
Make connections to the binding posts & terminals very carefully.
Ensure that the cantilever arrangement is securely fixed to the table.
Select any arm to be tested, either 2 arm or 4 arm. For selection a switch is provided on
the front side of panel.
PROCEDURE:
Balance the instrument by moving the ten turn pot in gentle fashion and then come
down to most sensitive range.
Additional pots are provided to get the finer balance.
Now apply a gentle pressure by a weights on the cantilever beam. The digital indication
will show some change in value. If upward force is applied the meter pointer shall show
opposite deflection.
After doing the experiment one can check-up the meter output with the help of following

AIM: To measure torque and shaft power of rope brake dynamometer.
APPARATUS REQUIRED:
Rope brake dynamometer apparatus, weights and tachometer.
THEORY:
An absorption unit consists of some type of rotor in a housing. The rotor is coupled to the engine
or other equipment under test and is free to rotate at whatever speed is required for the test.
Some means is provided to develop a braking torque between the rotor and housing of the
dynamometer. The means for developing torque can be frictional, hydraulic, electromagnetic, or
otherwise, according to the type of absorption/driver unit.
A brake is a machine element & its principal object is to absorb energy. Commonly the
brakes are used to absorb kinetic energy of the moving parts to stop them or to slow them down
but other uses of brakes for absorbing the potential energy as in the case of hoists or elevators is
no not uncommon. The brakes used for absorbing the kinetic energy transmitted by prime
movers and to be able to measure them quantitively are known as Dynamometers.
Dynamometer is a device for measuring force and torque and hence power. It may work
on the principal of absorption Transmission, in which case it is known as Transmission
Dynamometers.

AIM: To calibrate a L.V.D.T. for displacement measurement.
INTRODUCTION:
One of the most useful variable inductance transducers is the differential transformer,
which provides an A.C. voltage output proportional to the displacement of core passing
through the windings. It is a mutual inductance device making use of three coils arranged
generally on a single cylindrical concentric nonmagnetic form. The center coil is energized
from an external power source and the two coils connected in series oppositions to each
other, are used as pick up coils. Output amplitude and phase depend on the relative coupling
between the two pick up coils and the power coil. Relative coupling in them is dependent on
the position of the core. Theoretically there should be core position for which the voltage
induced in each of the pickup coil or secondary’s will of the same magnitude and the
resulting output should be zero.
Within limits on the either side of the position (Null) core displacement results in a
proportional output. While the output voltage magnitudes are ideally the same for equal core
displacement results on either side of null balance, but phase relation existing between power
source and output changes 180 degrees through null. It is therefore possible through phase
sensitive detector to distinguish between outputs resulting from displacements on each side of
null.
PROCEDURE:
1. Connect the terminals marked ‘PRIMARY’, on the front panel of the instrument to the
terminals marked ‘PRIMARY’, on the transducer itself, with the help of the flexible wires
provided.
2. Identically establish connection from terminals “SECONDARY”.
3. Keep pot marked “MAX” in most anticlockwise position.
4. The magnetic core may be displaced and the pointer may be brought to zero position. If
the DPM is not indicating zero use potentiometer marked “MIN”, to get a zero on
DPMatzeromechanicalposition.Ifthecoreisdisplacedinbothdirections,themeter must show

5. Now the core can be displaced by a known amount in the range +19 and –19mm and the
meter readings can be entered in the table given below. It may be noted that by
interchanging the secondary terminals or the primary terminals the polarity of the meter
indication can be reserved for a given direction of input displacement.
6. Plot the graph of input displacement and the output indications on the X and Y axis

THEORY :
Tachometer :
A tachometer) is an instrument measuring the rotation speed of a shaft or disk, as in a
motor or other machine.
The device usually displays the (RPM) on a calibrated analogue dial, but digital displays
are increasingly common.
They are two types:
1) Contactless tachometer
2) Contact tachometer
STROBOSCOPE :
A stroboscope, also known as a strobe, is an instrument used to make a cyclically
moving object appear to be slow-moving, or stationary. A strobe light flashing at the proper
period can appear to freeze or reverse cyclical motion
The principle is used for the study of rotating, reciprocating, oscillating or vibrating
objects. Machine parts and vibrating strings are common examples.
Working principal:
The instrument operates on the principle that if a repeating event is only viewed when at
one particular point in its cycle it appears to be stationary.
A mark is made on rotating shaft, and a flashing light is subjected on the shaft. The
frequency of the flashing is one very short flash per revolution.To determine the shaft speed we
increases the frequency of flashing gradually from small value until the rotating shaft appears to
be stationary, then note the frequency. The frequency then doubled, if there is still one apparent
stationary image, the frequency is again doubled.
This continued until two images appear 180 degrees apart. When first appear for these
two images the flash frequency is twice the speed of rotation.
