AIM: To determine the taper angle of an Inclined Surface using Sine bar (100,200 mm)

INSTRUMENTS REQUIRED: .
1. Sine Bar - 100, 200mm. 2. Height gauge. 3. Surface plate.

THEORY: SINE BAR

It is used for measurement of an angle of a given job or for setting an angle. They are hardened and precision ground tools for accurate angle setting. The sine bar consists of a rectangular section of suitable gauge steel having two accurately ground pins of equal diameter one at each end and lying on the centerline of the sine bar. The axes are separated by a nominal distance usually 100mm or 200mm. The various parts are hardened and stabilized before grinding and lapping. If the rollers are made to stand on a surface plate the surface of the bar will be parallel to the surface plate.

PROCEDURE: a) METHOD-I
1. The specimen is cleaned and placed on the surface plate such that the taper surface in upward direction. 2. Suitable sine bar is chosen and placed upside down on the surface of the specimen to be measured. 3. Using dernier height gauge measure the heights H1&H2. 4. Finally calculate the taper angle using appropriate formula.

b)

METHOD-2

1. Place the sine bar on the surface plate and then place the specimen on the sine bar as per the geometric diagram given.

2. Now built up the slip gauge block for an approximate height, and insert the slip gauge block under the right side of roller. 3. Now the plunger of the dial gauge brought into contact with the upper surface of the specimen. 4. Move the plunger slowly over the surface throughout the length. While moving the plunger over the surface, the indicator shows zero on its dial, otherwise adjust the slip gauge block dimension to bring zero on dial gauge. Then using height of the slip gauge block and appropriate formula calculate the taper angle.

OBSERVATIONS: METHOD.I
S.NO H1 mm H2 mm Sin = (H2 H1)/L degree

METHOD II
S.NO H1 mm Sin = H/L degree

RESULT:Thus the taper angle of the given specimens were measured using Sine bar .
