USE OF TOOL MAKER‟S MICROSCOPE

26 |
AIM: To determine the various thread parameters using a tool maker‘s
microscope.
APPARATUS REQUIRED: 1. Anvil Micrometer [Link] Micrometer
3. Pitch gauge [Link] Maker‘s microscope.

PROCEDURE:
Before measuring different thread parameters on Tool maker‘s microscope,
measure the major diameter, pitch diameter, the pitch of the thread using V-
anvil micrometer, pointed micrometer and pitch gauge respectively. Then the
different thread parameters like, major diameter, minor diameter, pitch
diameter, pitch, average pitch and helix angle of the thread are determined by
positioning the cross-wires at different positions as shown in the fig.1. Then
different reading are taken at respective positions using the cross-wire and
longitudinal micrometer. The angular readings are obtained with the help of
the circular scale provided in the geometric head. The readings at different
positions are tabulated as follows:

N=No. of threads between two end points.
Major diameter = MR1~MR4.
Minor diameter = MR2~MR3.
Pitch diameter = MR2~MR4 or MR1~MR3.
A) Depth of the Thread =MR1~MR2.
B) Depth of thread = MR3~MR4.
Average Depth = (A=B)/2.
Pitch = MR5~MR6.
Average pitch = (MR5~MR7)/2.
Angle of Thread =MR8~MR9.
Flank angle =(MR8~MR9)/2.
Reading of the Vernier caliper/depth gauge is given by the expression,

T.R= MSR+CVSD*LC

Where,
TR= Total reading.
MSR=Main scale reading.
CVSD=Coinciding Vernier scale division.
LC= Least count.

Measurement using micrometer:
For taking the measurement, using micrometer place the specimen between
the anvils of the micrometer and rotate the thimble till the spacing between
the anvils is slightly more than the dimension to be measured. Then rotate
the ratchet screw till the jaws have proper contact with the specimen. The
necessary pressure to be applied can be recognized from the ratchet
arrangement. Sufficient pressure is obtained. Now lock the spindle and note
down the micrometer reading.
L.C of the micro meter can be determined using the expression,

L.C= (Pitch)/(No. of HSD)


Pitch scale reading (PSR)=
Least count(L.C)=
No. of head scale divisions(HSD)=

Total reading (TR)=PSR+HSD*LC

Results: The pitch and angle of the given object is measured with toolmakers
microscope are tabulated
