Overview

Precision measurement instruments differ from normal measurement tools because of their ability to measure with a greater degree of precision and accuracy. This course covers how to properly use Go/NoGo thread gauges, attribute gauges, thickness and radius gauges, squares and protractors, and surface roughness comparators.

By the end of this course, you will be able to

• Identify the different types of threads and their components
• Use Go/NoGo thread gauges to inspect thread form
• Define the purpose of attribute gauges
• Use an attribute gauge to inspect a product
• Explain the purpose and function of a thickness gauge and a radius gauge
• Use a thickness gauge to make a comparative measurement
• Use a radius gauge to measure the radius on a workpiece
• Use a solid square to mark perpendicular lines and use a combination square to measure and mark lines
• Use a protractor head to mark angular lines
• Compare the roughness of a surface of a part to a surface roughness comparator
