Activity 2.1.4 Making Linear Measurements
Purpose
How thick is one of the hairs on your head? Could it be measured accurately with a
standard inch scale? If the smallest increment on an inch scale is 1/16 inch, then 20
average size human hairs could fit within the space of a 1/16 inch gap. The required
degree of accuracy needed is dependent on the application. If you were to build a
home, a standard inch scale is perfect for laying out walls and locating window
openings. A dial caliper is a precision measurement tool that is often used in the
design and manufacturing of consumer products and is, perhaps, the most common
of all the precision measurement tools. Engineers, technicians, scientists, and
machinists all use dial calipers to assist the processes of analysis, inspection,
engineering design, reverse engineering, and manufacturing.
In this activity you will practice making measurements with a dial caliper.

Procedure
Use dial calipers to make the following measurements.
Remember that you can
make four different types of measurements with dial calipers. Take careful
measurements - you will use your measurements later when you model these parts
in 3D solid modeling software.
Outside Measure
Inside Measurement
Step Measurement
Depth Measurement
1.
Using dial calipers, measure and record dimensions of the Passenger Section of
the Automoblox vehicle as indicated below.
a.
Measure the overall dimensions and the depth of the top opening. Be sure
to measure the hole depth to the bottom of the hole, not the top of the
plastic insert. Record the dimensions on the pictorial below using
appropriate significant digits.

b.
Measure the location and size of the opening on the top of the part.
Record your measurements on the top view below to the appropriate
number of significant digits.

c.
Using the dial calipers,
carefully
measure the depths and locations of the
holes on the front and back faces of the part where the connector insert is
located. Be sure to measure to the bottom of the holes, not the face of the
plastic inserts. Record the measurements to the appropriate number of
significant digits on the pictorials below.

d.
A fillet is an inside radius between two intersecting planes. A round is a
rounded exterior blend between two surfaces. Use the dial caliper to
estimate the radii of the outside rounds and the fillets at the corner of the
holes. You will have to estimate the points of tangency (where the curve
transitions into the straight edge). Assume that all the rounds have the
same radius and that all the fillets have the same radius. Record the radii
below to the appropriate number of significant figures.
Estimated fillet radius:
0.0200 in
Estimated round radius:
2.1792 in
2.
Using a dial caliper, Measure and record the missing dimensions of the
Automoblox wheel indicated in the views below. Note that you do not need to
measure the details of the rim pattern. Record the dimensions using appropriate
significant digits. Important: There is a small circular rib on the inside cylindrical
surface that fits around the axle pin. Measure the smallest inside diameter of that
rib when recording the inside diameter of the wheel.

3.
Measure and record the dimensions for the connector piece missing on the
pictorial below. Next to each recorded measurement, list measurement type
(outside diameter/part width, inside diameter/space width, hole/feature depth,
and step distance) that you employed to measure the distance.
4.
Compare your measurements of the Passenger Section with a teammate who
measured the same part.
a.
Are your measurements identical to your teammate’s measurements? If
no, describe the difference(s).
Your measurements will not be the same as your partners because when you
reach the estimated value your partner might have a different estimated value
based on their own predictions.
b.
Why would your measurements differ from those of another student who
measured the same object?
As I stated on the top you measurement might differ from those of another
student who measured the same object because when you reach the
estimated value they might have a different estimated value based on what
they think it would be.
5.
(Optional)
As a group choose one of the following objects to measure. In your
engineering notebook, sketch the object and record dimensions necessary to
completely describe the object.
Graduated cylinder
Soda can
Coffee cup
White board marker
Another object as directed by your instructor

Conclusion
1.
What additional tools may have helped to measure these parts?
Other additional tools that might help us measure these parts are rulers, internal
caliper (old version), and external caliper (older version).
6.
Revisit number 1 above. Measure at least five of the dimensions of your part
using a standard ruler and record the measurements in brackets next to each
caliper measurement. Which measuring device (the caliper or the ruler) provides
the best measurements?
Why?
A caliper provides the best measurements because they give a more precise
answer then a ruler which is not as precise, but could not measure internal and
external objects like a circle (Example: tire)

Your professor has recruited you to work in her lab to help her win the Nobel Prize. It is critical that your work be as accurate as possible. Rather than using the stated volumes of glassware in the lab, you decide to calibrate each piece. An empty 10-mL volumetric flask weighed 10.263 4 g. When filled to the mark with distilled water at 208C, it weighed 20.214 4 g. What is the true volume of the flask?

A bookshelf needs to be built to hold 200 novels. The depth, width and height of the largest novels are 8 inches by 2 inches by 10 inches, respectively and the novels need to sit in the bookshelf so that the largest novel fits perfectly without any overhang of shelf showing.
The homeowner would like 4 shelves to hold all the books, with one extra shelf to hold future books (5 total shelves). Each of the four shelves will hold 50 books. The homeowner wants no more than one-inch thick wood shelving.
Create an orthographic scale drawing of the bookshelf on grid paper. Be sure to include the front, side, and top views. Include a scale.

Tower in Chicago. On the ground level, the barometer read 30.25 inches of Hg; topside it read 28.45
