10、following types of bevel protractors:a) Mechanical.Type A. With vernier graduated to read to five minutes of arc, and with slow motion device, and acute angle attachment.Type B. With vernier graduated to read to five minutes of arc, but without slow motion device or acute angle attachment.Type C. Wi
11、th scale graduated in degrees, without vernier or slow motion device or acute angle attachment.b) Optical. With an internal circular scale which is graduated in divisions of 10 minutes of arc1)and read against a fixed index line or vernier by means of an optical magnifying system integral with the i
12、nstrument, enabling readings to be taken, by estimation or otherwise, to approximately two minutes of arc.2 NomenclatureFor the purpose of this standard the nomenclature indicated in Figure 1 and Figure 2 has been adopted for mechanical and optical types of bevel protractors respectively.NOTE With t

It shall be straight to 0.010 mm/0.000 4 in.Any departure from true straightness shall be in the nature of a concavity, the extent of which shall not exceed 0.01 mm/0.000 4 in. when measured over the total span of the surface concerned.PQNO
26、TE The thickness of 4.8 mm/316 in for mechanical types has been adopted to accommodate the present practice of manufacturers but it is desirable that the minimum thickness should be 6 mm/ in.BS 1685:20084 BSI 2009BRITISH STANDARD8 BladeThe blade shall be either 150 mm/6 in or 300 mm/12 in long. The
27、ends of the blade shall be bevelled in the manner illustrated in Figure 3 to 60 and 45 respectively, and shall be accurate to within 5 minutes of arc.The blade shall be not less than 14 mm/1732 in wide and not less than 1.25 mm/0.05 in thick.The blade shall be so designed that it can be moved along
28、the turret throughout its whole length, and also be reversed. An effective method of clamping shall be provided.The sides of the blade or blades shall be flat to within 0.125 mm/0.005 in and 0.25 mm/0.010 in for the 150 mm/6 in and 300 mm/12 in blades respectively.The working edges of the 150 mm/6 i

30、te angle attachment shall be not less than 75 mm/3 in long and the thickness shall correspond to that of the blade. The working edge shall be straight to within P0.005 mm/0.000 2 inQ and, according to the type of attachment, shall be parallel with, or square to, the working edge of the stock to with

The diameter of the graduated circle shall be not less than 50 mm/2 in at the reading edge. The protractor may be so designed that the scale is either on the body or on the turret.The s
32、cale shall be graduated either as a full circle marked 0-90-0-90 (four quadrants) with one vernier, or alternatively as a semicircle marked 0-90-0 with two verniers 180 apart. All verniers shall read in both directions. One zero position shall be when the blade is parallel to the stock (see Figure 4
33、). The acute angle reading shall then be zero, or 90, according to the type of acute angle attachment with which the protractor is fitted.All graduations shall be clearly engraved. The thickness of the graduations shall be neither less than 0.064 mm/0.002 5 in nor more than 0.09 mm/0.003 5 in. The t
34、hickness of the graduations of the vernier and main scale shall be equal, as observed by the eye. The visible length of the shortest graduations on both the scale and vernier (dimensions L, Figure 5) shall be approximately equal to twice the width of the interval between adjacent lines. The distance
35、 from the face of the scale to the face of the vernier or zero index (dimension T, Figure 6) shall not exceed 0.10 mm/0.004 in.

36、tractors without verniers shall be graduated in degrees, and the error of indication in any position of the blade shall not exceed plus and minus one-fifth of a degree.Protractors with verniers shall be graduated to read direct to five minutes of arc, and the error of indication in any position of t
37、he blade, including the use of the acute angle attachment if fitted, shall not exceed plus and minus five minutes of arc.BS 1685:20086 BSI 2009BRITISH STANDARDNOTE It is recommended that, for ease of reading, the scale and vernier should have a dull chromium finish. b) Optical type. The scale shall
38、be graduated as a full circle marked 0-90-0-90 (four quadrants). The zero positions shall be when the blade is parallel to the stock. The acute angle reading shall then be zero or 90, according to the type of acute angle attachment, when fitted.All graduations shall be clearly defined. The thickness
39、 of the graduations shall be equivalent to not less than one minute and not more than two minutes of the circle. The thickness of the graduations of the scale and the index line or vernier shall be equal, as observed through the optical system.The scale and index line or vernier shall be in focus in
40、 the optical system simultaneously.It shall be possible to adjust the focus of the optical system to accommodate normal variations in eyesight (including vision corrected by spectacles, or contact lenses) and the field of view shall appear clearly illuminated when the instrument is held to a light.T
41、he error of indication of the protractor in any position of the blade, including the use of the acute angle attachment if fitted, shall not exceed two minutes of arc.11 Marking Each protractor shall have legibly and permanently engraved upon it the manufacturers name or trade mark and an identificat
