OBJECTIVES
1. To recognize the apparatus and equipment that are available
in the workshop. Hopefully by this way, it will be easier for the
students to use them in the future for doing the projects.
. To know the principle elements of measurement that are linear
dimensions, angular dimensions and non!linear functions.
". To learn how to use the measurement equipment such as steel
rule and tape, calipers, depth gauge, vernier caliper, vernier
micrometer, vernier protractor etc.

4ro. )yukor with the help of our group members.
. The usages of trading gauge, acme screwdriver and pillar
gauge are e5plained by the technician in!charge.
". #n apparatus that the technician forgot its name that is used
to measure a sphere shape is introduced.
%. Techniques on how to use and handle protractor, measuring
tape, steel ruler and /ngineering )quare are taught by the
technician in!charge.
&. $rocedure to use the height vernier caliper is shown.
(. The usage of inside and outside calipers is e5plained by the
technician in!charge.
*. Techniques on how to use the depth gauge are taught by the
technician in!charge.
.. The vernier caliper is introduced by the technician in!charge.
0. The procedure on using vernier protractor is e5plained by the
technician in!charge.
11. The principle of working of a vernier micrometer is
learned by the students after it is e5plained by 4ro. )yukor.
11. 6inally, all the group members are given two cubic metal
and the technician in!charge is instructed us to measure it
height by using steel ruler, vernier caliper and vernier
micrometer.
RESULTS
DISCUSSION
THEORY
Measurement.
'easurement has played an important role in scienti7c
advancement. #ccurate measurement is the basis of good
engineering practice. /arly attempts of measurement the length
were based on the human body, cubit, foot, span, yard, etc. The
shortcoming of these measurements are obvious. 8o two people
could get the same number when measuring the same item. 9ith
the advancement of interchangeable parts and mass production, the
need of accurate measurement has been increased in
manufacturing.
6rom these simple beginnings, we have progressed gradually
towards standardization of basic measurements. The metric system
,): units- provides an easily usable scale since all units are in
multiples of ten.
Elements ! measurement.
There are three principal elements of measurement. These are;
1. <inear dimensions ,measurement of length-
. #ngular dimensions ,measurement of angular inclination-
". 8on linear functions ,straightness, roundness, =atness-

PROBLEM AND DI11ICULTIES 1ACED
2uring performing this e5periment, : faced some di>culties
and problems. ?ne of them is during the practical after brie7ng and
e5planation by the technician in!charge, 4ro. )yukor. The problem is
that there are only % vernier micrometers, & vernier calipers and
rulers. Then, we have to share the apparatus and this take time.
However, we can 7nish the measurement on time.
4esides, during the brie7ng by 4ro. )yukor, we have to stand
because at the rrom there is no enough chairs. )o, for about
hours, we have to stand and this make us tired ,but no so much-.
8e5t problem is in using the vernier calipers. This is we have
to be very careful in handling it, especially to read the data from the
scale. 4ut with the help of the technician, #lhamdulillah, everything
when smooth and we could 7nish the project successfully.
SU++ESTIONS
Here, : have some suggestions to do. 6irst of all, hopefully that
the available apparatus could be added so no need for the student
share it in doing measurements. : also hope that some chairs can be
occupied into the room, or even better if we have a more condusive
room for measurement part., :nsya #llah.
CONCLUSION
1. 6rom this project, : have learned the procedures, techniques
and principle of working of equipments that are trading gauge,
acme screw driver, pillar gauge, protractor, measuring tape,
steel ruler, calipers ,inside and outside-, engineering square,
height vernier caliper, depth gauge, vernier caliper, vernier
micrometer and vernier protractor
. There are three principal elements of measurement. These
are;
<inear dimensions ,measurement of length-
#ngular dimensions ,measurement of angular
inclination-
8on linear functions ,straightness, roundness, =atness-
