Title: Apply precision measuring instruments.
Course: Precision Machining Technology I (13203-I) > Section: Applying Measurements

Application should include

- determining the concentricity of a turned part to a lathe's spindle
- inspecting dimensions of a finished part
- considering the effects of temperature on measuring.

Application may include determining the compliance of a part of selected dimensions by using instruments such as

- micrometer
- vernier calipers
- dial and electronic calipers
- dial indicators
- coaxial indicators
- precision transfer tools
  - telescoping gauges
  - adjustable parallels.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What are the names of precision transfer tools?
- What is the difference, when transferring dimension, of using a basic tool as opposed to a precision measuring tool?
- What does a precision measuring tool measure more accurately?
