Preface
The skills of carrying out experiments, recording and analyzing data, and presenting
results are very important for students' success. This manual is extremely useful for students.
Metrology lab deals with the working principles of measuring instruments and the precision
measurement techniques. This knowledge is useful for industry concerned with production,
inspection and quality control.
Engineers are involved in the design of systems, systems involving many components.
The effectiveness of the system is verified by measurements. Measurement is an art, science and
a technique by its self. The main objective this laboratory is to provide hands-on experience for
the students so they are able to put theoretical concepts into practice.

Course Objectives:
(1) The Metrology Lab course is designed for measuring and gauging instruments
for inspection of precision linear, geometric forms, angular and surface finish
measurements. The student can learn the measurements with and calibration of
instruments.
(2) Mechanical Measurements lab introduces the students with the theory and
methods for conducting experimental work in the laboratory and calibration of
various instruments for measuring pressure, temperature, displacement, speed,
vibration etc.
Note: The students have to conduct at least 8 experiments from each lab
METROLOGY LAB
1. Measurement of lengths, heights, diameters by vernier calipers, micrometers etc.
2. Measurement of bores by internal micrometers and dial bore indicators.
3. Use of gear tooth vernier caliper for tooth thickness inspection and flange micro
meter for checking the chordal thickness of spur gear.
4. Measurement using Mechanical comparator.
5. Measurements using Optical Projector.
6. Measurement of alignment using Autocollimator.
7. Angle and taper measurements with bevel protractor, Sine bar, rollers and balls.
8. Use of spirit level in finding the straightness of a bed and flatness of a surface.
9. Thread inspection with two wire/ three wire method & tool makers microscope.
10. Surface roughness measurement with roughness measuring instrument.
MECHANICAL MEASUREMENTS LAB
1. Calibration of pressure gauge.
2. Calibration of transducer for temperature measurement.
