Layout dimensioning is an important process for determining the position of components on a workpiece or surface so that the arrangement meets the specified requirements. This measurement is important in high-precision work, such as engineering, construction, and industrial manufacturing.
Tools used for layout dimensioning
1. Angle Gauge is used to measure the angle and inclination of the workpiece for accurate placement.
2. Caliper is used to measure the distance between points or internal and external diameters.
3. Center Punch is used to mark the workpiece as a reference point for measurement and placement.
4. Steel Rule is used to measure length and accurate placement.
Angle Measurement
Angle measurement is the process of finding the value of the angle formed between two lines or surfaces. Angles can be measured in degrees or radians. Accurate angle measurement is essential for work that requires precision, such as metalworking, woodworking, and engineering.
Tools used to measure angles
1. Protractor: A basic tool for measuring angles in degrees.
2. Digital Angle Gauge: A tool with a display screen for accurate readings.
3. Inclinometer: Used to measure the inclination of surfaces in construction and engineering.
Length Measurement: Length measurement is the measurement of the distance between two points, which can be measured in several units, such as millimeters, centimeters, meters, inches, and feet. Length measurement is fundamental in all branches of industry.
Tools used to measure length:
1. Measuring Tape: Measures very long lengths quickly and conveniently.
2. Micrometer: Used for measuring lengths that require very high accuracy, especially in measuring small workpieces.
3. Vernier Caliper: Measures distances, thicknesses, and diameters of workpieces accurately.
