Setting Measuring
32、 Apparatus6.1Set7.1 Set the measuring apparatus by means of standards so that the indicator hand or scale of the sensing device is at zerowhen adjusted for the nominal size of the material to be measured. This shall be done by means of certified cylindrical masterstandards for Apparatus A and by mea
33、ns of certified gage blocks for Apparatus B.67.2 Cylindrical master standards shall be certified for diameter, roundness, and surface finish by a metrology laboratory. Themaster cylinders of wire shall be made of hardened steel having a Rockwell hardness of C6363 to C65, 65 HRC, and lapped toa finis
34、h of 1 in. rms or a 4-in. height (0.0001 mm).6.3Gage7.3 Gage blocks shall be certified for length, flatness, parallelism, and surface finish by a metrology laboratory. Theexact thickness of the blocks shall be reported to the nearest microinch (0.000025 mm) as measured near the center of each block.
35、The surface finish shall be equivalent to 1 in. rms or a 4-in. (0.0001-mm) height or better.6.4Set7.4 Set Apparatus A for the nominal material size to be measured by placing a cylindrical master standard between thetwo anvils and adjusting the fixed anvil adjusting screw to get a zero reading on the
36、 sensing device. Raise and lower the sensinganvil against the standard several times and readjust the screw until three consecutive zero readings are obtained.6.5Set Apparatus7.5 SetApparatus B for nominal material size to be measured by means of gage blocks. Select two blocks with a difference equa
37、lto the nominal size of the material. Use the exact length of the blocks as taken from the last certification. Place the longer blockbetween the three-ball support table and the ball end of the anvil support block, and carefully seat near the center of the block.Turn the adjusting screw until the in
38、dicator on the sensing device is on zero. Raise the ball end of the anvil support block, removethe longer gage block, and replace it with the shorter block in the same position. This in effect lowers the fixed measuring anvilfrom the first zero setting by an amount equal to the nominal size of the m
39、aterial to be measured. Leave this gage block in placewhile measurements are being made.6.6To7.6 To keep the effect of temperature variations to a minimum, handle each block with insulated tongs when placed intoposition. Both blocks may also be inserted and interchanged by means of a shifting device
40、 for moving either block into the properposition. This keeps handling to a minimum and prevents hands from contacting the blocks when changing.F161237.8. Procedure A for Measuring Fine Round Wire78.1 Measure fine round wire less than 0.0008 in. (0.0203 mm) in diameter with anvils as illustrated in F
41、ig. 3 except fixed anvilshall have a radius of 1 in. (25.4 mm). Measure fine round wire more than 0.0008 in. (0.0203 mm) and less than 0.010 in. (0.25mm) in diameter with flat parallel anvils having a diameter from 0.115 in. to 0.135 in. (2.9 to 3.4 mm). Lap both anvils flat andparallel and polish t
42、o a surface finish of 1 in. r/s or a 4-in. (0.0001-mm) height. Observe the basic requirements for measuring,including anvil pressure and overall precision of the anvils and measuring apparatus, as specified in Table 1.7.2Set8.2 Set the apparatus for measuring as specified in Section 1011. Retract th
43、e upper anvil by means of the lifting level andinsert the wire specimen between the anvils. Lower the sensing anvil against the specimen and read the deviation of the diameterfrom the nominal size directly on the indicator and scale of the sensing device. Report the wire size as the average of three
44、 separatedeterminations made on specimens from the same spool.7.3The8.3 The wire specimen may be rotated between the anvils for out-of-roundness measurements as specified in Section1011.8.9. Procedure B for Measuring Large Round Wire8.19.1 Measure round wire, which is between 0.010 and 0.060 in. (0.
45、25 and 1.5 mm) in diameter, with combination flat andcylindrical anvils as illustrated in Fig. 3. Lap the measuring surface of the sensing anvil (0.1150.115 to 0.135 in. (2.93 to 3.43 mm)diameter) and polish to a surface finish of 1 in. r/s or a 4-in. (0.0001-mm) height. The fixed anvil shall be cyl
46、indrical in shapewith a radius of approximately 0.040 in. (1.0 mm) and a length of approximately 0.4 in. (10 mm). Adjust the fixed anvil so thatthe contacting surfaces of the anvils are parallel within 0.00001 in. (0.00025 mm).8.2A9.2 A wire location guide may be used on one side of the fixed anvil
47、for locating each piece of wire in approximately thesame position between the anvils. Observe the requirements for measuring, including anvil pressure and maximum overallprecision of the anvils and measuring apparatus, as specified in Table 2.8.39.3 Set the apparatus for measuring as specified in Se
48、ction 67. Retract the sensing anvil and insert the wire specimen betweenthe anvils and against the back wire positioning guide. Lower the sensing anvil slowly against the specimen and read the deviationof the wire diameter from the nominal size on the scale and indicator of the sensing device. Repor
49、t the wire diameter as the averageof three separate determinations made on specimens from the same spool.8.4The9.4 The wire specimen may be rotated between anvils for out-of-roundness measurements as specified in Section 1011.9.10.
