Title :
To use dial indicators 2s a mechanical comparator.
Prior Concepts:
+ Machine drawing, tolerances.
New Concopts:
Proposition 1: Comparator
works on relative measurements Le. comparator compares the unknown dimensions
of apart with some standard or master setting,
Proposition 2: Dial Indicator.
Itis an instrument used for making and checking linear measurements, Dial indicators
‘can also be used as comparator and for direct measurements also.
[Comparator

Learning Objectives:
Intellectual Skills:
+ To Select proper combination of slip gauges.
+ To select proper master specimen for comparision,
‘To select correct dial indicator for given task,
Motor Skills
+ Abiity to set cial indicator.
+ Abilty to read deviations in sizes of work pieces,
‘Apparatus :
Dial indicator with stand, sip gauges, components to be compared.=|

70 Stepwise Procedure
+ Read the drawing of glven component correctly.
+ Select the proper dal indicator with suitable least count, a required by the drawing,
+ Mount dal indicator on the comparator stand.
+ Prepare correct combination of sip gauges, if required
+ Set Zero of cial indicator with either sip gauges or with master specimen at required
