MEASUREMENT OF TAPER ANGLE USING SINE BAR
Introduction:Sine bar is used in conjunction with slip gauges for precise angular measurement.
Sine bar is used either to measure angle very accurately or face locating any work to a
given angle. Sine bars are made from high chromium, corrosion resistant steel, hardened,
ground and stabilized.
Two cylinders of equal dia. are attached at ends. The axes of these two cylinders are
mutually parallel to each other and also parallel to and at equal distance from the upper
surfaces of the sine bar. Accuracy up to 0.01mm /m length of sine bar can be obtain.

Slip Gauges:Introduction:Slip gauges are rectangular blocks of steel having a cross-section of about 30 by
10mm. These gauges are used to provide end standard of specific length by temporarily
combining a number of individual gauge by wringing, each representing a dimension
(standard) into a single gauge bar. Here the basic requirements are formation of a bar in
reasonable cohesion between individual element and its dimension truly within specific
limits representing the desired nominal dimensions.

Precaution in use of sine bar :1) The sine bar should not be used for angle greater than 60o.
2) A compound angle should not be formed by mis-aligning the component with sine
bar.
3) Accuracy of sine bar should be ensured.
4) As far as possible longer sine bar should be used since many errors are reduced by
using longer sine bars.
Wringing:-
Figure. wringing
The term wringing refers to condition of intimate and complete contact and of
permanent adhesion between measuring faces. Wringing is done by hand though sliding
and twisting motions. One gauge is placed perpendicular to other using standard gauging
pressure and rotary motion is then applied until the blocks are lined up. In this way air is
expelled from between the gauge faces causing the blocks to adhere. This adherence is
caused partly by molecular attraction and partly by atmospheric pressure. Similarly, for
separating two wring slip gauges, combined sliding and twisting motion should be used.
