Q

Define datum

A

Where most points are measured from the zero point

22
Q

Define datum simulator

A

Simulated datum is established from a design datum

23
Q

Two types of error in micrometre threads?

A

Periodic error and Progressive error

24
Q

Two types of error in dial indicators?

A

Repetition error and Progressive error

25
Q

Types of dial indicators?

A

Type a standard
Type b perpendicular
Type c Universal

Dials are meant for repeatability not accuracy

26
Q

Define roughness width cutoff

A

Greatest spaces between adjacent grooves when measuring roughness height

27
Q

Difference between waviness and roughness?

A

Widely spaced marks caused by vibration and chatter, heat treatment, and deflection

Closely spaced marks caused by the cutting tool

28
Q

The difference between balanced and continuous reading dial indicators?

A

Continuous are numbered one through 360 degrees, balanced reads in both directions from zero

29
Q

Three types of precision squares?

A

Blade (try square), cylinder, block.

30
Q

Name to master squares

A

Cylinder and block, AA grade

31
Q

What is the 3-2-1 rule?

A

Restricting and securing peace in three axes in One Direction

32
Q

Two types of air gauges?

A

Column, pressure

33
Q

What are the 7 parts of a dial indicator?

A
Contact point 
 Spindle
 Rack Spring
 Rack
 Hair spring
 Bezel 
 Gear train
34
Q

What are the two types of optical comparators?

A

Shadowgraph, gears in a watch

Mechanical Optical, Reed type

35
Q

What is the advantage of using a fixed gauge for inspection instead of a micrometre?

A

You eliminate the stupidity of the operator.

36
Q

How does comparison measurement differ from other types of measurement?

A

Comparison determines how much the actual size of a part differs from the size of a standard

37
Q

What is the difference between a continuous reading dial indicator and the universal dial test indicator?

A

Continuous reads from 0 to 360 degrees, Universal reads both directions from zero

38
Q

An air gauge uses air pressure to compare the diameter of a bore with what?

A

Master Ring gauge

A

.000001

.0000001

Q

What is lay?

A

The direction of the roughness pattern

42
Q

What is the term for the joining of Gage blocks?

A

Wringing

43
Q

What takes the backlash out of the gear train on a dial indicator?

A

A hair spring

44
Q

What is the most common contact point for dial indicators?
