Measurement is important (1/2 class)
Measuring instruments:
Steel Rule (Scale)
➢ used to take linear measurement up to an accuracy of 1/64th part of an inch - 0.5 mmCalipers (like Divider)
➢ used for measurement of external and internal diameters of components not requiring greater accuracy
➢ Divided into outside, inside, firm-joint, spring joint, tube firm joint, gear firm jointDivider (geometry wala)
➢ used for measuring distance between points or for transferring a measurement directly form rule. also for scribing circles and arcsMicrometers
➢ works on principle of screw thread hence called screw gauge
➢ common types: outside, inside, depth and threadVernier Caliper

Joining Process:
types:
➢ Temporary Joint
➢ Permanent Jointexamples
➢ Riveting,screw fastening devices, clamps nuts and bolt, brazing, weldingjoint - the point of contact where two pieces are joined together to form a single acting structure
Soldering
metal joining process with help of low melting point metal by the use of heat and filler material
soldering joints:
➢ butt joint -|- (face to face)
➢ lap - (overlap)
➢ scarf -- (cross cut)
➢ side seam _|-||-
➢ strapped - (from side)
➢ pipe ==the m.p of filler metal is less than 427 degree Celsius and generally solders used have m.p. between 180 - 270
Principles of good soldering process
➢ Selection and design of proper joint
➢ Selection of the proper joint
➢ Proper cleaning of the joint
➢ Fluxing and assembly of components
➢ Heating of the joint to optimum temperature
➢ Performing the operation and allowing the joint to cool
➢ Cleaning the joint
➢ Testing the jointUses of soldering
➢ Electrical components in television, radio, transistor and tape recorder
➢ Electronic components in PCBs
➢ Automobile prats like radiators and roofing seams cable sheaths, coating and joining of metal, body soldering for filling in seams and dents in automobile bodies
➢ Sheet metal work for joining parts that aren't subject to heavy loads and high temperature
➢ Cycle work - soldering of brake rods with knobs
➢ Used for joining wires and small parts
➢ Sometimes used to repair utensils
Brazing
- technique of joining two similar or dissimilar materials by addition of special filler metal (spelter)
- needs greater heat and is much stronger than soldering
M.P of a spelter should be above 427 degree Celsius and blazing is carried above this temperature
Advantages:
➢ used to join a large variety of dissimilar metals
➢ used for brazing pressure tight joints
➢ pieces having great difference in CSA can be brazed
➢ This sheets, pipes and gauges that can't be joined by welding can be joined by brazing
➢ Complex assemblies can be fabricated by this method
➢ A brazed component has ability to preserve protective metal coating
➢ Brazing can be done on cast and wrought materials
➢ Corrosion resistance joints can be produced by this method
➢ Brazing preserves metallurgical characteristics of a material better than welding

Welding
Bench work and fitting [Sure Question!!!!]
- hand tools - held by hand to perform certain jobs or operations
- filing, stamping, driving a screw, chipping, and sawing
- The shop where these operations are carried out - fitting shop
- The bench where these operations are carried out - fitter's bench or fitting bench
Hammers
- used for striking nails rivets, punches, chisels etc.
- parts: head, pein, check, eye, face and handle
Hacksaw
- used for cutting metal rods, bars, pipes, etc.
- types:
➢ solid frame and adjust frame - the job to be sawed is held in a vice and the blade is moved to and fro
- The cutting operation takes place on the forward stroke which is called cutting stroke
- In return stroke no cutting action takes place and this stroke is idle stroke
Files (रेती)
- principal hand tool used by a fitter (person who fit the job i.e make a single unit by assembling different parts)
- structure - large number of teeth that removes sharp edges of the material and makes surface smooth to avoid injuries
- File having no teeth on the edge is safe edge file
Hand tools and safety Rules:
- Do not use pliers for cutting hardened steel-wire
- Never use a bent, dented, cracked, chipped or wornout chisel
- Use the right tools for the job
- Always keep the tools in their proper places
- Never meddle or play with tools in the machine shop
- Do not use pipe or other improvised leverage extensions on handles
- Plastics handles are only for comfort and don't act as insulations
- Don't use a pipe wrench to bend, raise or lift a pipe
- Ratchet mechanisms must be cleaned and lubricated periodically with light grade oil to ensure safe performance. Replace worn out parts as and when needed
- Use a wrench or socket whose opening fits the nut
- Always use approved eye protection equipment
- Keep the inside of socket and wrench free from dirt and grease
- Always cut at right angles
Vices
- bench vice consists of body, sliding jaw, handle, screw, nut, spring, cotton pin and washer
- made up of cast iron
used to hold job while doing operations on it
Precautions to be ensured while using vice:
➢ Always set the work piece in the center of the jaws
➢ If it is necessary to hold the job on one side of the jaws then use a piece of steel or wood on the other side to keep the jaws parallel and free from excessive strain
➢ The job should project out of the jaw as little as possible and must be parallel to the jaws since they act as a guide for even working
➢ Length of the handle of the vice must be sufficient to tighten the job. Never use hammer or lever arm to tighten the job
➢ Never us a vice for fitting or straightening the job

C-Clamp
- used for holding the jobs in the course of assembly in a fitting shop
Try square
- used by fitter for scribing straight lines at right angles to each other, for testing trueness of surface and for testing manually perpendicular surfaces
Prick punch and centre punch
- Prick punch used for making a small punch marks on layout lines to preserve their locations for further operations
- Centre punch used to mark the centre of the holes to be drilled. larger in size than prick punch
Chisels
- used for chipping work in a fitting shop after welding
- produced by forging (hot chisel produced by forging a bar stock of 4% tungsten and cold chisel from 0.9% carbon carbon or low chromium allow steel.)
Screwdriver
- consists of a wooden or plastic handle and steel blade
- used to loosen or tighten screw
Drills
- Drilling - an operation of producing circular holes of different sizes with the help of drills
Spanners
- hand tools used in fitting shop for holding and rotating of nuts and bolts
- Types: Open type, Box type and Adjustable type
Pliers
- used for holding small articles which are difficult to hold by hands
- also used for cutting thin wires and similar articles
Taps
- used for cutting internal threads in cylindrical holes
- hand and machine operated
Dies
- used for cutting external threads on cylindrical parts like bolts and studs
- while using, the die is held in the center of a pair of operating handles called stock for screwing on the bar
Reamers
- used to give finish to holes of sufficiently good quality and accuracy
- imparts the previously drilled holes
