The total pressure of the support and springs shall exerta force of 500 6 0 g on the gage block.4.3.2 The gage block for setting shall be located directly incontact with the movable anvil

19、 support ball contact. Theopposite side of the gage block shall be supported at threeplaces by hardened steel balls 0.09 to 0.12 in.

Test Specimens5.1 Test specimens shall be selected at least 3 ft (0.9 m)from the end of a spool or coil of material and shall be straightand free from

21、 kinks, dents, or other damage that wouldinterfere with measuring accuracy.5.2 Wire or fine ribbon shall be drawn from the spool underuniformly low tension to prevent elongation. If the material isobviously contaminated with oil, dirt, or other foreign matter,it shall be drawn gently through a lint-

23、.2 For fine wire, smaller than 0.0008 in. (0.02 mm) indiameter, extra precautions shall be taken to avoid all possiblecauses (see 6.1) of inaccurate measurements. The measuringdevices shall be used in a small gage laboratory with tempera-ture variations kept to within6 5C. The equipment shall belaid

All equipment used for measuring, and thematerial samples, shall be stabilized by leaving them togetherin the gage room for at least 1 h.

26、y means of certified gage blocks or cylindricalmaster standards as specified in Section 11.7. Setting Measuring Apparatus7.1 Set the measuring apparatus by means of standards sothat the indicator hand or scale of the sensing device is at zerowhen adjusted for the nominal size of the material to beme

27、asured. This shall be done by means of certified cylindricalmaster standards for Apparatus A and by means of certifiedgage blocks for Apparatus B.7.2 Cylindrical master standards shall be certified fordiameter, roundness, and surface finish by a metrology labo-ratory. The master cylinders of wire sh

28、all be made of hardenedsteel having a Rockwell hardness of 63 to 65 HRC, and lappedto a finish of 1 in. rms or a 4-in. height (0.0001 mm).7.3 Gage blocks shall be certified for length, flatness,parallelism, and surface finish by a metrology laboratory. Theexact thickness of the blocks shall be repor

29、ted to the nearestmicroinch (0.000025 mm) as measured near the center of eachblock. The surface finish shall be equivalent to 1 in. rms or a4-in. (0.0001-mm) height or better.7.4 Set Apparatus A for the nominal material size to bemeasured by placing a cylindrical master standard between thetwo anvil

31、nvil against the standard several times and readjustthe screw until three consecutive zero readings are obtained.7.5 Set Apparatus B for nominal material size to be mea-sured by means of gage blocks. Select two blocks with adifference equal to the nominal size of the material. Use theexact length of

32、 the blocks as taken from the last certification.Place the longer block between the three-ball support table andthe ball end of the anvil support block, and carefully seat nearthe center of the block. Turn the adjusting screw until theindicator on the sensing device is on zero. Raise the ball end of

33、the anvil support block, remove the longer gage block, andreplace it with the shorter block in the same position. This ineffect lowers the fixed measuring anvil from the first zerosetting by an amount equal to the nominal size of the materialto be measured. Leave this gage block in place while measu

34、re-ments are being made.7.6 To keep the effect of temperature variations to aminimum, handle each block with insulated tongs when placedinto position. Both blocks may also be inserted and inter-changed by means of a shifting device for moving either blockinto the proper position. This keeps handling

35、 to a minimum andprevents hands from contacting the blocks when changing.8. Procedure A for Measuring Fine Round Wire8.1 Measure fine round wire less than 0.0008 in. (0.0203mm) in diameter with anvils as illustrated in Fig. 3 except fixedanvil shall have a radius of 1 in. (25.4 mm). Measure fine rou

40、suringsurface of the sensing anvil 0.115 to 0.135 in. (2.93 to 3.43mm) diameter) and polish to a surface finish of 1 in. r/s or a4-in. (0.0001-mm) height. The fixed anvil shall be cylindricalin shape with a radius of approximately 0.040 in. (1.0 mm) anda length of approximately 0.4 in. (10 mm). Adju

41、st the fixedanvil so that the contacting surfaces of the anvils are parallelwithin 0.00001 in.

The sensing anvil and thefixed anvil shall have a radius of 0.40 in. (10 mm) and a lengthof approximately 0.40

46、in.

48、Arrangement of Anvils for Measuring Large Round WireF16 12 (2017)311.3 For wire between 0.010 and 0.060 in. (0.25 and 1.5mm) in diameter, hold one end of the wire in a small pin viceor between the fingers and rotate it between the measuringanvils. One end of the wire may be turned up to form a flag

49、sothat the degree of rotation may be observed.11.4 With a wire specimen between the anvils, retract thesensing anvil before each rotation of the wire and lower it againonto the specimen after the rotation has stopped. With heavierwire, having a degree of curvature, place the concave side ofthe curved surface against the fixed anvil and rotate thespecimen a maximum of 180, between points where the planeof curvature is parallel to the plane of the fixed anvil face.11.5 Make sufficient readings to determine the minimumand maximum diameter of the material.
