Radius Gauges | Fillet Gauges | How to use Fillet Gauges?
Radius Gauges are also known for Fillet gauges. In metrology, Fillet gauges designed to check/measure both internal and external radii on curved surfaces. This is not a precision measuring instrument, rather it allows the user to quickly determine the fillet value. By the way, Are the Fillet and Radius are the same? No.Not exactly. There is a […]
What is Wire Gauge? How to Use Wire Gauge? Wire Gauge Tables
In Metrology, Wire gauges are used to measure the diameters of the wires. These wire gauges are available in a circular or oblong shape and it is having notches along the edges of the shape(as shown in below picture) and each notch is stamped with wire size number. This wire gauge can also be used […]
What is Slip Gauges or Gauge Blocks?
Slip Gauges are known as Gauge Blocks. They are Precise Measuring instruments. These Slip Gauges are universally accepted end Standard of length. You know, Johanson first introduced the slip gauges, so they can be called as Johanson gauges as well. And he is a Sweedish Engineer. Construction of Slip Gauge / Gauge Blocks / Johanson gauges […]
What is a Comparator in Metrology ? | Types of Comparators
In Metrology, The comparator is a Precision Instrument, which is used to compare the dimensions of the given component with the actual working standard. The Comparator is an indirect type of precision measurement because it will not measure the dimension, it will indicate the difference in measurement between the given component and working standard, and another […]

What is V-Block? V-Block is a jig structure which is having True V faces(Grooves) and slots. This is a Cast iron structure. The […]
What is Least count of an instrument?
In Metrology The least count of an instrument is the smallest change in the value that can be measured with the measuring instrument. Least count for Steel Ruler For example in a Steel Ruler, there are twenty divisions between each 10-millimetre scale reading. So the least count for this steel ruler is 0.5 millimetre. The formula for […]
What is Surface Gauge? How to use Surface gauge?
In Metrology, the Surface gauge is a non-precision instrument, Used to draw the parallel lines and to find the centre of round section material. Simply it is used to scribe parallel lines on the workpiece. Why do we need to draw parallel lines or finding the centre of the cylindrical object? the answer is to set the Tool and […]

Hooke’s Law Definition | What is Hooke’s Law?
Hooke’s law is the behavioural principle of elastic materials where how the deformations are taken place in the elastic materials with respect to the applied load. Once the applied load crosses the elastic limit, the material will not obey the Hooke’s law. Hooke’s law stated that The strain in a solid body is directly proportional […]
