TITLE: Dimensional Measurement of Screw Thread

2.0

OBJECTIVE
a.
b.

3.0

The objective of the experiment is to determine the dimension of specimen (screw thread)
using two different measuring equipment (floating carriage and profile projector).
To compare the accuracy of two measuring equipment used.
INTRODUCTION (Background & Theory)

Profile Projector
This is a projection apparatus that can produce an enlarge projection shadow of an object. The
projection methods of examination are well adapted to the examination of form tools, profile gauges,
press-tools, gear teeth, screw thread etc. Sizes of the object may be checked by direct measurement
on the enlarged shadow and subsequent division by the multiplication factor. The magnification factor
is accurate and that the design of the apparatus permits maximum latitude in holding and adjusting
the object.

Floating Carriage
a)

Major Diameter
Referring to the illustration:
If the micrometer reading over Standard Cylinder
the micrometer reading over Screw Plug Gauge

= R1
= R2

the diameter of Standard Cylinder

= D1
therefore, Major Diameter of Screw Plug Gauge, Dmajor = D1 + ( R2 - R1 )

b)

Min or Diameter
Referring to the illustration:
If the micrometer reading over Standard Cylinder and Core Prisms
the micrometer reading over thread and Core Prisms
the diameter of Standard Cylinder

= R3
= R4

= D1
therefore, Minor Diameter of Screw Plug Gauge, Dminor = D1 + (R4 R3)

c)

Effective Diameter
Referring to the illustration:
If the micrometer reading over Standard Cylinder and wires
the micrometer reading over screw thread and wires

= R5
= R6

the diameter of Standard Cylinder

= D1

therefore, the diameter under the wire, D3 = D1 + ( R6 R5 )

Hence, the Effective Diameter Deff = D3 + P where P is the difference between the Effective Diameter and the
diameter under the wires as shown below.

The P value is a constant depending on the diameter of the wires (d), the pitch (p) and the type of screw thread,
it is found as follows:
Metric threads (600)
P = 0.86602p - d
Whitworth threads (55o)
P = 0.96049p -1.16568d
British Association threads (47 1/2o)

4.0

P = 1.13634p -1.43295d

APPARATUS
a) Screw Thread Specimen
b) Profile Projector (Horizontal/Vertical)

EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE

A briefing session will be conducted prior to students carrying out the measurement on the specimen.
Please take note of the procedures for setting up the specimen on the adjusting table. Using suitable
magnification and adjust the focusing knob to ensure the shadow obtained is sharp and clear.
Movements can be made through micrometer adjustment. Parameters to be measured on the
specimen are:
