  1. Engine Measurement

  2. Measurement Tools • Steel Rule • Feeler Gauges • Precision Straightedges • Calipers • Dial Indicator

  3. Measurement Tools Cont’ • Micrometer • Telescoping Gauges • Small Bore Gauges • Dial Bore Gauge • Torque Wrench • Torque Angle Gauge

  4. Steel Rule • Used for non precision (greater than 1/64th”) measurements • Available in a variety of lengths and designs

  5. Feeler Gauges • Thin metal strips used to determine clearances between two parts • Usually come in a set of .001” increment gauges • When the correct gauge is inserted between the parts a slight drag should be felt

  6. Precision Straightedge • Used with feeler gauges to measure for warpage on heads, blocks, flywheels, etc. • Generally does not have increment markings

  7. Calipers • Used to take inside, outside, or depth measurements • Generally accurate to .001” • Three different styles of caliper • Dial • Vernier • Digital

  8. Dial Caliper • Whole inches and tenths of an inch are read from the sliding scale

  9. Dial Caliper • Hundredths and thousandths of an inch are read from the dial

  10. Dial Caliper • These two numbers are added to find the actual measurement

  11. Dial Caliper Example 0” (whole inches) .9” (tenths) .038” (hundreds and thousandths) = 0.938”

  12. Vernier Caliper • Fewer moving parts than dial caliper • Slightly more difficult to use • Most vernier calipers measure both inches and centimeters

  13. Vernier Caliper

  14. Digital Caliper • Easy to use • Most expensive • Options such as saving measurements and zeroing available on some digital calipers

  15. Dial Indicator • Used to measure travel (example: valve travel) • Large dial reads in thousandths of an inch and small dial reads in tenths of an inch

  16. Micrometer • Used to precisely (within .0001”) take inside, outside, or depth measurements

  17. Telescoping Gauges • Used with an outside micrometer to take inside measurements

  18. Small Bore Gauges • Like telescoping gauges, small bore gauges are used with an outside micrometer to take inside measurements • Also called split ball gauges

  19. Dial Bore Gauge • Used with an outside micrometer to take inside diameter measurements • Measurements can be taken quickly

  20. Torque Wrench • Used to tighten fasteners to the proper torque • Four different types available • Click type • Beam type • Dial type • Electronic type • May measure in foot-ponds, inch-pounds, or Newton-meters

  21. Click Type • When proper torque is reached the wrench will “click” • Torque setting is adjusted with some type of a dial/knob

  22. Beam Type • Beam flexes as torque is applied and pointer indicates current torque level

  23. Dial Type • Current torque level is read from a dial

  24. Electronic Type • Vibrates when proper torque is reached • Many options available such as an actual torque reading, memory for saving torque specifications etc.

  25. Torque Angle Meter • Used to measure the number of degrees a fastener is being turned • Used for torque-to-yield bolts and/or when tightening specifications list a degree specification

  26. Micrometer Parts

  29. Let’s take a close look at the sleeve of the micrometer.

  30. One inch (1.000) 25/1000 inch (0.025) 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 2 1 0 24 23 22 1/1000 inch (0.001) 1/10 inch (0.100)

  31. Now, an example...

  32. Smallest Measurement Largest sleeve reading 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 15 18 0 1 2 3 17 0.341 inches One mark past largest sleeve reading 16 15 14 13 Thimble Reading Now, an example... 19 18 17 16 0.000 15 14 13 0.300 0.025 0.016

  33. A digital micrometer

  34. Another example...

  35. Smallest Measurement Largest sleeve reading 0 0 1 2 3 4 24 23 22 21 3.496 inches 20 19 18 17 16 Thimble Reading Three marks past largest sleeve reading Another example... 20 15 3.000 0.400 0.075 0.021

  36. Review... • Lightly tighten on object. • Determine smallest measurement when micrometer is closed. • Find largest visible number on sleeve and multiply times 0.100.

  37. Review... • Count number of marks past largest visible number on sleeve and multiply times 0.025. • Multiply thimble reading times 0.001. • Add all numbers to get answer.
