Lab 2 Micrometer Instruments
Prerequisite: Chapter 7, Micrometer Instruments
Introduction:
The increased precision of micrometers allows them to be used for a number of diverse
measurements, primarily those dealing with some form of inside or depth measurement.
Micrometers may incorporate a standard four-digit mechanical readout or have a digital
readout. The purpose of this lab is to explore the general use of the standard mechanical
readout micrometer, to affirm how to read the measurement to the fourth decimal place, and
to take measurements and understand the variations that can occur with individual users and
among multiple users. Compare with the Digital Micrometer measurements.
Items needed:
Data recording tools
A set of standard SAE gauge blocks.
Three numbered Mega Blok’s™ per group to be used by each member for measuring.
One to two-inch Mechanical Micrometers and one to two-inch Digital Micrometers
One-inch micrometer standard and a spanner wrench
Cleaning solution (lubricant), 2 Lint-Free cloths (1 with cleaning solution, 1 dry)

Calibration: THIS IS FOR THE WHOLE GROUP.
Using a one-inch gage block, then a two-inch gauge block, take two readings with each to
check the accuracy of the instrument. Compare your readings with those of the other
students in your group. Are there variations? Did all students measure the same gage
blocks? What are the possible reasons for variations, if any?

1.
From the readings there are variations in the readings among the three operators, both
for height and width measurements. None of the operators consistently measured the
same value. This indicates that there are differences in the measurements taken by each
operator.
2.
Yes, all students measured the gage blocks.
3.
Possible Reasons for Variations:
Several factors can contribute to variations in measurements in such experiments:
Instrument Calibration: If the measuring instruments are not well-calibrated, this
can lead to variations in readings. It's essential to ensure that the gauge blocks are
correctly calibrated.
Operator Technique: The skill and experience of the operators can influence the
measurements. Variations can occur due to differences in how each operator
handles the instruments and reads the measurements.
Environmental Factors: Changes in temperature and humidity can affect the
dimensions of materials, including gauge blocks. Variations may result from
environmental conditions.
Instrument Precision: The precision of the measuring instruments also plays a role.
Even small differences in instrument precision can lead to variations in
measurements.
Wear and Tear: Gauge blocks can wear over time, leading to inaccuracies. It's
important to regularly inspect and maintain these tools.
Human Error: Mistakes in recording measurements can occur, which can lead to
variations in the data.
Surface Cleanliness: Contaminants or imperfections on the surfaces of the gauge
blocks can lead to inaccurate measurements.
To minimize variations and increase the accuracy of measurements in experiments like this,
it's essential to focus on operator training, instrument maintenance, and proper calibration.
Additionally, repeating measurements and averaging the results can help reduce the impact
of random errors. It's also crucial to ensure that all operators are following the same

Report: Measurement Experiment with Micrometers
1. Objectives:
The primary objective of this experiment was to measure the dimensions of three Mega
Blok™ blocks, specifically their height and width, using both mechanical and digital
micrometers. The experiment aimed to assess the precision and accuracy of the
measurements taken with these instruments and investigate any variations that might arise
from the different operators.
2. Equipment Used: We used the following equipment for this experiment:
- Mechanical Micrometer
- Digital Micrometer
- Three Mega Blok™ blocks
- Standard one-inch Micrometer for calibration
3. Environmental Concerns:
The experiment was conducted in a controlled laboratory environment. The temperature
and humidity levels were monitored and maintained within acceptable limits to minimize
potential variations due to environmental factors. The environmental conditions were found
to be suitable for the measurement process.
4. Procedure:
1. The micrometers were calibrated using a standard one-inch Micrometer before the
experiment to ensure accurate measurements.
2. Three Mega Blok™ blocks were selected for measurement.
2. The measuring instruments were clean to prevent errors in the readings.
3. Each block's height and width were measured three times by each operator using both
mechanical and digital micrometers.
4. Operators were instructed to follow a consistent measurement technique, including
proper contact and reading procedures.
5. The measurements were recorded in the provided data sheets.
5. Data:
The recorded data for the height and width measurements for all three blocks are presented
in the provided tables. The readings are consistent with each operator taking three
measurements per block using mechanical and digital micrometers.
6. Conclusion:
The experiment revealed that the measurements taken using both mechanical and digital
micrometers showed variations, similar to the previous gauge block experiment. These
variations can be attributed to factors such as operator technique, instrument precision, and
potential environmental influences.
To minimize variations and enhance measurement accuracy, it is essential to maintain well-
calibrated instruments, provide comprehensive training to operators, and establish
standardized measurement procedures. Overall, this experiment highlights the importance

Steam at T1 = 320 °C flows in a cast iron pipe (k= 80 W/m. °C) whose inner and outer diameters are
5 cm = 0.05 m and D₂ = 5.5 cm = 0.055 m, respectively. The pipe is covered with 3-cm-thick glass wool
insulation with k = 0.05 W/m. °C. Heat is lost to surroundings at T2 = 5 °C by natural convection and
radiation, with a combined heat transfer coefficient of h₂ = 18 W/m². °C. Taking the heat transfer coefficient
inside the pipe to be h₁ = 60 W/m². °C, determine the temperature drops across the pipe and the insulation.
The determination is based on a unit length of the pipe (L = 1 m).
Assumptions
1. Heat transfer is one-dimensional since there is no indication of any change with time.
2.
Heat transfer is one-dimensional since there is thermal symmetry about the centreline and no
variation in the axial direction.
3. Thermal conductivities are constant.

Question 2
You are a biomedical engineer working for a small orthopaedic firm that fabricates rectangular shaped fracture
fixation plates from titanium alloy (model = "Ti Fix-It") materials. A recent clinical report documents some problems with the plates
implanted into fractured limbs. Specifically, some plates have become permanently bent while patients are in rehab and doing partial
weight bearing activities.
Your boss asks you to review the technical report that was generated by the previous test engineer (whose job you now have!) and used to
verify the design. The brief report states the following... "Ti Fix-It plates were manufactured from Ti-6Al-4V (grade 5) and machined into
solid 150 mm long beams with a 4 mm thick and 15 mm wide cross section. Each Ti Fix-It plate was loaded in equilibrium in a 4-point bending
test (set-up configuration is provided in drawing below), with an applied load of 1000N. The maximum stress in this set-up was less than the
