Introduction
 The angle is defined as the opening between two
lines which meet at a point.
 Circle is divided into 360 parts, each part is called a
degree ( º).
 Each degree is divided in 60 minutes ( ') and each
minute into 60 Seconds ( “)
 Unit of angle derived from theoretical considerations
is the radian, defined as the angle subtended at the
centre of a circle by an are length equal to radius of
circle.
Angle Measurement Instrument
 Line Standard Angular Measuring Devices
•Protractors
•Universal Bevel Protractors
 Face Standard Angular Measuring Devices
•Sine bar
•Sine Center
 Measurement of Inclines
•Spirit Level
•Clinometer
 Angle Comparators
•Autocollimators
Vernier Bevel protractor
 The simplest instrument for measuring the angle
between two faces of component.
 Main scale on the protractor is divided into degrees
from 0 to 90 each way
 As shown in the main scale is graduated in degrees of arc.
 The Vernier scale has 12 Divisions each side of the centre
zero.
 These are marked 0-60 minutes of arc, so that each division
equals 1/12 of 60, that is 5 minutes of arc.
 These 12 divisions occupy the same space as 23 degrees on
the main scale. Therefore, each division of the Vernier is
equal to 112 of 23⁰
 Thus the reading of the Vernier bevel protactor
equal:
 The largest ‘whole’ degree on the main scale +
reading on the vernier scale in line with a main scale
division.
= Main scale reading , 51⁰+ Vernier 45 mark in line
with main scale
= 51⁰45’
Optical Bevel Protactor
 A circle divided at 1.0 minutes intervals
throughout the circle is fitted inside the body.
 Small microscope is fitted through which the
circle graduations can be viewed.
 Adjustable blade is clamped to a rotating member
which carries its microscope.
Sine Bars
 A precision angle measuring instrument used along
with slip gauges.
Advantages of sine bar
1. It is precise and accurate angle measuring device.
2. It is simple in design and construction.
3. It is easily available
Disadvantages of sine bar
1. It is fairly reliable at angles less than 15 but become
increasingly inaccurate as the angle increases. It is
impractical to use sine bar for angle above 45 .
2. It is difficult to handle and position the slip gauges.
3. The sine bar is physically clumsy to hold in position.
4. Slight errors of the sine bar cause larger angular errors.
Sine Centre
 Sine center is basically a sine bar with block holding
centers which can be adjusted and rigidly clamped in
any position. used for the testing of conical work,
centered at each end as shown.
 Extremely useful since the alignment accuracy of the
centers ensures that the correct line of measurement is
made along the workpiece.
 The centers can also be adjusted depending on the
length of the conical work piece, to be hold between
centers.
Angle Gauge
 Angle gauges are made of hardened steel and seasoned
carefully to ensure permanence of angular accuracy, and
the measuring faces are lapped and polished to a high
degree of accuracy and flatness like slip gauges.
 Like linear gauge blocks, angle gauge blocks can
also be wrung together to build up a desired angle.
 In addition, they can also be subtracted to form a
smaller angle as a difference of two larger angles as
shown in Figure.
 The plus and minus ends of each block are marked.
Clinometers
 The clinometer is a special case of the application of
the spirit level.It is a insttrument used for measuring
angle relative to the horizontal plane. The various types
of clinometers are :
1. Vernier clinometer
2. Micrometer clinometer
3. Dial clinometer
4. Optical clinometer
 It consists of a spirit level mounted on a rotary
member carried in a housing.
 One face of the housing forms the base of the
instrument.
 A circular scale is provided on the housing. A
circular scale is used to measure the angle of
inclination of the rotary member relative to the base.
 The scale may cover the whole circle or only part of
it.
 The angle of rotation is then noted on the circular
scale against an index.
Micrometer Clinometer
 In this type, one end of spirit level is attached at end of
the barrel of a micrometer
 The other end of the spirit level is hinged on the base.
The base is placed on the surface whose inclination is to be
measured.
 The micrometer is adjusted till the level is horizontal.
This type of clinometers is suitable for measuring small
angles.
 The most commonly used clinometers is of the Hilger &
Walts type in which circular, scale is totally enclosed and is
divided from 0 to 360 at l0' interval. For observation of 10‘-
subdivision optical micrometer is provided.
