MODULE-1 (Introduction to Metrology) - CO1

1. Define Measurement.
2. Discuss the objectives of Metrology.
3. Explain Imperial Standard Yard.
4. List out the need of inspection in Metrology.
5. Explain the Wave length Standard.
6. Explain with neat diagram, International Prototype Meter.
7. What is Metrology?
8. What care should be taken in use of slip gauges?
9. Select the arrangement of minimum angle gauges required to obtain the fallowing angles
(i) 37˚ 16′ 42″ (ii) 102˚ 8′42″ (iii) 35o 32′ 36″.
10. Define slip gauge.
11. Illustrate with neat diagram wringing phenomenon in slip gauges.
12. Select slip gauge combination using M112 set, build the fallowing dimensions (i) 49.3115
(ii) 68.208 (iii) 52.498.
13. Define angle gauges.
14. Explain with a neat diagram working principle of sine bar and mention limitations of sine
bar.
15. Explain the principle of autocollimator.
16. What are optical flats?
17. Explain with a neat diagram working and use of clinometer.
18. Select slip gauge combination for the given dimensions using M112 set. Use two
protector gauges of 2.5mm each. Show the slip gauge combination.
(i) 35.4875 (ii) 58.975 (iii) 92.357.
19. What are line and end standards.
20. Explain sub division of Standards.
21. Three 100mm end bars are measured on a level comparator by first wringing them
together and comparing with a 300mm bar. The 300mm bar has a known error of +40µm
and the three bars together measure 64µm less than the 300 mm bar. Bar A is 18µm
longer than bar B and 23µm longer than bar C. Find the actual length of each bar.

MODULE-2 (Systems of Limits, Fits, Tolerance and Gauging) - CO2

1. Define Tolerance.
2. Explain tolerance accumulation or tolerance “Build-up”.
3. Discuss upper deviation, lower deviation and fundamental deviation for hole and shaft system.
4. Define limits and fits.
5. Explain the terms such as Basic Size, Nominal Size, and Actual size.
6. Explain compound tolerance, with a suitable example.
7. What are unilateral dimensions?
8. Discuss with neat sketch, different types of fits.
9. Distinguish between interchangeability and selective assembly.
10. What are bilateral dimensions?
11. Explain Positional Tolerance.
12. Describe Hole Basis and Shaft Basis System and its significance.
