    Study Notes

    Measuring Tools

    • Measuring tools are used to determine the dimensions of an object
    • Coarse measurements can be made using a steel scale or tape
    • Fine measurements require a micrometer or vernier caliper

    Steel Scales and Tapes

    • A steel scale is a flat metal ruler with edges calibrated in millimeters and sixteenths of an inch
    • Measurements must be taken perpendicular to the surface to avoid inaccuracy
    • Steel scales should be stored carefully to avoid damage and wiped with light oil to prevent corrosion from fingerprints

    Steel Tapes

    • Most steel tapes have a power rewind mechanism built into them
    • Damage can occur if rewound too quickly
    • Controlling the rewinding rate by guiding the tape with your free hand can prevent damage

    Micrometers

    • Micrometers are used for precise measurements with a fine degree of precision and minimal error
    • Micrometers come in various sizes (25 mm to 300 mm) but can only move 25 mm
    • Different types of micrometers include outside, inside, screw thread, and depth micrometers

    Micrometer Parts

    • Main parts of a micrometer include the frame, anvil, spindle, sleeve or barrel, thimble, and ratchet stop

    Reading a Micrometer

    • Read the major barrel divisions first, then add minor divisions and thimble divisions for an accurate measurement
    • Example: 17.51 mm (17.0 mm + 0.50 mm + 0.01 mm)

    Caring for Micrometers

    • Micrometers should be handled with care to avoid damage from drops or exposure to dirt, grit, grease, and moisture
    • Store micrometers in their proper case and apply a thin coat of oil occasionally to protect from corrosion

    Feeler Gauges

    • Feeler gauges, or thickness gauges, are used to check bearing clearances, gear play, and measure narrow slots and gaps
    • They are also used to check spark plug gaps and tappet valve clearances
    • Keep feeler gauges clean and occasionally apply a thin coat of oil to the leaves
