Measurement and Production Engineering important topics
Easy points for fast revision
Measurement is the process of comparing an unknown quantity with a standard quantity. It helps in accuracy, quality control and reducing production errors.
Error is the difference between true value and measured value. Main types are systematic error, random error and gross error.
Vernier caliper is used to measure external diameter, internal diameter and depth accurately. Its common least count is 0.02 mm.
Micrometer is a precision instrument used for accurate measurement of small dimensions like wire diameter and small thickness. Its common least count is 0.01 mm.
Casting is a manufacturing process in which molten metal is poured into mould cavity and allowed to solidify. It is useful for complex shapes.
Welding is the process of joining two metals by heat and pressure. Common types are arc welding and gas welding.
Lathe machine is used for machining cylindrical components. Main operations are turning, facing, drilling and thread cutting.
Drilling machine is used to produce holes in materials. Main operations are drilling, reaming and tapping.
