  1. Reading Measuring Tools

  2. Objectives • Why do we use measuring tools? • What tools will we use? • How do we read measuring tools? • Where are these tools used in industry?

  3. Activities • Make measurements with rulers, calipers, • and micrometers • Complete a worksheet on measuring tools

  4. Why do we use measuring tools? To ensure accuracy • Measuring “jigs” before starting a job • While working on a job • To check dimensions after completing a job

  5. The Tools Ruler / Tape Calipers Micrometers

  6. Ruler / Tape • Least Precise • Accuracy of 1/16” (.0625”) • Used on large items and “non-precision” work • Available in various lengths

  7. Tapes & Rulers • Divided into increments of 1/16”(standard) • *sometimes smaller • Metric on the opposite side • Bold numbers indicate inches

  8. Calipers • 0” – 6” , 0” – 12” , 0” – 36” • Accuracy of .001” • Used on precision jobs • Measures Outside Diameters, Inside Diameters, • And Depths

  9. Parts of the calipers clamp screw nibs bar dial jaws

  10. What are the 5 parts of the caliper ? • Dial • Jaws • Nibs • Bar • Clamp Screw

  11. Reading Calipers • Each increment on the bar represents .100” • Each round on the dial equals .100” or .200” • Depending on the brand of the tool • Bold numbers on the dial represent .010” • Small dashes equal .001”

  12. Micrometers • Accuracy of .0001” • Most accurate • Available in various sizes, from 0” – 1” up to 35” – 36” • Used to measure Outside Diameters

  13. sleeve thimble anvil spindle frame Parts of the micrometer

  14. What are the 5 parts of the micrometer ? • Frame • Thimble • Sleeve • Spindle • Anvil

  15. Reading the micrometer

  17. Digital Calipers and Micrometers

  18. Digital Calipers and Micrometers • Serves the same purposes as conventional • Calipers and micrometers • Easier to read due to digital read-out • Usually more expensive

  19. Where are these tools used ?

  20. construction Automotive Machine Shops Any Others ?

  21. Get out a sheet of paper . . . Measuring Tools Quiz

  22. Name the following tools : 2. 1. 3. 4.

  23. 5. What tool is the most accurate? • What tool is the least accurate? • What are the three things calipers are • used to measure? • Why do we use measuring tools?

  24. Name this tool: 9. • What is one job that uses measuring • tools that we discussed?

  25. BONUS ! ! • Name the 5 parts of the calipers . • 1 point each • Name the 5 parts of the micrometer . • 1 point each
