AB 3 Calibration
Prerequisite: Chapter 9, Calibration
Introduction:
As indicated in the text, error is the enemy of measurement. To reduce the chance of error, we calibrate the measurement instrument to ensure readings given are as accurate as possible. Since each device exhibits its metrological features, it would be too time-consuming to focus on the calibration process on more than one instrument. Therefore, in this lab, we focus on calibrating a one to two-inch micrometer and provide insight into the calibration process and how it works.
Items needed:
One to two-inch Mechanical Micrometer with a one-inch micrometer standard
Full set of SAE Gauge Blocks
A Spanner Wrench is required to set the zero point of the micrometer.
Cleaning solution (lubricant)
Demonstration: EVERY STUDENT IS TO PERFORM THIS
Confirm students can reliably read a one to two-inch mechanical micrometer with accuracy and precision to the fourth decimal point. Verify that students can use the micrometer standard and know how to "wring" gauge blocks together. Students must also understand how to clean and adjust the gauge blocks and micrometers.

Observation: THIS IS FOR EACH GROUP MEMBER
Visually inspect the instrument. Using the classification of measurement errors guide
(
Figure 9–5
), identify and record any potential error attributes that may impact the
calibration of a one to the two-inch micrometer. Complete the pre-calibration checklist
(
Figure 9–7
). The instructor will show how these are applied in the calibration process.
The pre-calibration checklist (figure 9-7) can we refer per the below screenshot:

Calibration: Confirm the zero setting of the instrument by using the one-inch Gauge Block. Utilizing the supplied tool, adjust the instrument (if necessary) to achieve a zero setting. Verify the Flatness/Parallelism using the one-inch gauge block at 5 points between the anvil and spindle faces. Start a calibration process by using a 1.000", 0.149", 0.450", 0.650", 0.850", and 2.000"-gauge block. Take instrument readings against the appropriate gage block(s) findings to full scale. Take the readings in both Ascending and Descending directions and record those findings on a spreadsheet, including the zero-setting and the Flatness/Parallelism check. Wring gauge blocks together. EX: 1.000” + 0.149” = 1.149”. 1.000” + 0.450” = 1.450”. etc.
Gauge: 1" to 2"
Gauge: 0 to 1"

Measurement confirmation:
Create a graph similar to Figure 9–9, graphing both results on the same chart. Is the instrument linear? Is there any uncertainty? Is the tool accurate? The instructor will show how this procedure is to be accomplished.

Plotting the results on the graph shows there are no errors in the calibration measurement.
This suggests that the instrument is linear and calibrated with acceptable standards.

EPORT
: THIS IS FOR THE WHOLE GROUP
Have students report their findings for Exercises 1-3. Use the following sections to create your report.
Objective: The objective of the experiment is to measure the size of the different gauge blocks
using a digital micrometer. After measuring, we need to plot a graph against the measured and
actual values to determine the difference in reading.
Instrument(s) and items used: Cleaning solution.
Cleaning wipe.
Micrometer.
Gauge blocks.
Environmental concerns: Room temperature is required for the experiment to work. If we believe the block's temperature
is high, give the gauge block some time to cool down to room temperature. An essential
consideration is temperature, which may impact the experiment's results. We experimented
with a room temperature of 23 degrees Celsius. Also, the room must be spotless and tidy before
experimenting.
Data: Gauge: 1" to 2"
Gauge: 0 to 1"

Conclusion: The instrument was calibrated by comparing it with the standard gauges. We
couldn’t find any errors during the measurement. Moreover, the graph plotted is linear, showing
that the instrument works accurately and can be utilized for future lab experiments until the next
calibration date. Finally, a calibrated instrument would produce accurate results in the industries,
and therefore, we need to calibrate the instruments at particular intervals.

1. Since experimentations are always subject to errors, what techniques are employed to
neutralize the effects of these errors in the accuracy and validity of the experiment?
2. Why is the "factorial experiment" better in any way than a "one-factor-at-a-time"
approach?
3. True or False: As soon as the experimental data (measurements) are obtained, the
experimenter can already proceed with the usual significance testing. Explain.
4. What is "hypothesis testing"? How is it performed?
5.What makes ANOVA a powerful tool in hypothesis testing?
What happens if you use a 2k full Factorial design to explore a set of variables which is
known to have a non-linear response?
6. When is the addition of center points to a 2k full factorial design beneficial? Give a
particular case that warrants its use.
7. In practical terms, explain how a LOW p-value connote SIGNIFICANCE (Recall that the
smaller the p-value is, the more significant the factor becomes)?

A. A student establishes the time constant of a temperature sensor by first holding it immersed in hot water and then
suddenly removing it and holding it immersed in cold water. Several other students perform the same test with
similar sensors. Overall, their results are inconsistent, with estimated time constants differing by as much as a
factor of 1.2. Offer suggestions about why this might happen. Hint: Try this yourself and think about control of
test conditions.
B. Which would you expect to be better suited to measure a time-dependent temperature, a thermal sensor (e.g., a
thermocouple) having a small diameter spherical bead or one having a large diameter spherical bead? Why?

Pressurized eyes Our eyes need a certain amount of internal pressure in order to work properly, with the normal range being between 10 and 20 mm of mercury. The pressure is determined by a balance between the fluid entering and leaving the eye. If the pressure is above the normal level, damage may occur to the optic nerve where it leaves the eye, leading to a loss of the visual field termed glaucoma. Measurement of the pressure within the eye can be done by several different noninvasive types of instruments, all of which measure the slight deformation of the eyeball when a force is put on it. Some methods use a physical probe that makes contact with the front of the eye, applies a known force, and measures the deformation. One non-contact method uses a calibrated “puff” of air that is blown against the eye. The stagnation pressure resulting from the air blowing against the eyeball causes a slight deformation, the magnitude of which is correlated with the pressure within the eyeball.…
