    The document summarizes how to use a height gauge to inspect manufactured parts. It describes the main components of a height gauge including the main scale, vernier scale, base, and frame. It explains how to measure parts using the height gauge by noting the main scale and vernier scale readings and applying the measurement formula. Dimensions of a sample part are provided and students took multiple readings to inspect the part, finding small differences due to personal error in using the measuring device. The conclusion is that after this lab, students learned about height gauges and how to use them for part inspection.

    Lab#05

    To study height gauge and inspection of part manufactured in Lab#2

    Objective:

     To know about the height gauge, its types, and parts etc.
     To know about the use of height gauge for inspection.

    Introduction:

    Height gauge: Height gauge is a measuring device used for measurement of length of a part
    upto 0.02mm.

    OR

    A height gauge is a measuring device used either for determining the height of objects, or for
    marking of items to be worked on.

    Figurre 5.1 Figurre 5.2

    Parts of height gauge: Following are the main parts of height gauge:
    1) Main scale: It consists of Cm and Inches and smallest division on it is 1mm.
    2) Vernier Scale: It consists of 100 divisions every division is 0.02mm.
    3) Base: It is the base of the whole height gauge, All parts are above it.
    4) Frame: It is used for connecting the all parts of the height gauge.
    5) Scriber: It gives movement to the upper jaw as well as the movement of vernier scale.
    Least count: Least count is the minimum length that a height gauge can measure accurately.
     For centimeters system the least count is 0.02mm.
     For Inches system Least count is 0.001 inch

    Zero Error:
    If the zero of the vernier scale is not coincides the zero of main scale then we call it as zero error
    in the height gauge.

     If the zero is above then it is called +ve error and if zero of vernier scale is below than the
    zero of main scale then it is called as –ve error.

    Applications:
     To check height of parts.
     Used for quality control.
     Used for repetitious making.

    Procedure Steps:
    1) 1st chek zero error if there is +ve error subtract it from the final measurement, If –ve error
    then add it to final measurement.
    2) Now open the jaw and tight the jaw on the part.
    3) Note main scale reading and vernier scale reading.
    4) Use the below formula for measuring the final reading

    Final reading = M.S.R + (divisions of vernier scale)(L.C)

    Observation and Calculation:


    Reading: 5.1(Calculated values of dimensions through height gauge)

    S.No: Reading 1 Reading 2 Reading 3 Reading 4 Reading5


    1.a 158.2 158.1 158.4 158.6 158.3
    2.b 116.4 116.7 116.5 116.5 116.5
    3.c 146.2 146.1 146.2 146.3 146.2
    4.d 124.9 124.8 124.7 124.9 124.8
    5.e 125.1 125.1 125.2 125.2 125.2

    Discussion and Results:


    From the above table we can see that there is a small difference between the readings taken by
    different students. So this difference is due to the personal error of the students. Such personal
    error may be due to fitting of job in the jaws of height gauge etc.

    Conclusion:
    After attending this lab students are able to know about the height gauge and using height gauge
    for inspection of the parts.
