4.1 INDUSTRIAL APPARATUS
The inspection of the screw thread in industry carried out using many instruments depending
to the accuracy of the tolerance of the products. For the product that the tolerance is not a
crucial issue, the low accuracy devices are use to inspected, the devices such as
micrometers, vernier or dial callipers, surface plates and height gauges.
The inspection of the screw thread also can be done using high end devices such as
optical comparators, white light scanners, coordinate-measuring machines (CMMs) and
industrial radiography (including industrial CT scanning) which the device that give the more
precise value of reading.

5.0 PROCEDURE
1. A specimen, a Plug Gauge M30-3.5-ISO 6H was fixed on projector adjusting table.
2. The projector was turned on and its focusing knob was adjusted for high magnification. A
sharp and clear thread shadow was displayed on projectors screen.
3. The major diameter was measured by varying the Y axis coordinate of the image that
shown on the screen.
4. The upper side of crest image of the plug gauge was set to has the zero coordinate to be
the datum of the reading
5. The bottom side of crest image of the plug gauge was pointed and it value was recorded.
6. The steps 4 to 6 were repeated to find the value of minor diameter with set the upper side
of root image of the plug gauge as a datum and the distance between it the bottom side of
root image was recorded as minor diameter.
7. The steps 4 to 6 were repeated to find the value of effective or pitch diameter with set the
upper side of pitch line image which is located in between crest and root image as datum
with zero coordinate and the distance between it and bottom side of pitch line image was
recorded as effective diameter.
8. The Vertical Profile Projector was use to give the experience to the student to be
knowledgeable about the principle behind the use of Profile Projector in the metrology field.
9. Students were asked to find the things that exist on the 20 cent and 50 cent coin. The
things were almost impossible to be founded using naked eyes.
