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 mm

  • Calipers (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 joint

  • Divider (geometry wala)
    ➢ used for measuring distance between points or for transferring a measurement directly form rule. also for scribing circles and arcs

  • Micrometers
    ➢ works on principle of screw thread hence called screw gauge
    ➢ common types: outside, inside, depth and thread

  • Vernier Caliper

Joining Process:

  • types:
    ➢ Temporary Joint
    ➢ Permanent Joint

  • examples
    ➢ Riveting,screw fastening devices, clamps nuts and bolt, brazing, welding

  • joint - 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 joint

  • Uses 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
