What is Comparator and classification and uses of Comparator

What is a Comparator: It is a precision measuring device used for comparing the dimensions with that of working standards. It works on the principle of relative measurements. It does not measure the actual dimensions but indicates how the size of the part differs from the working standards. The readings are executed by suitable arrangements. …

Difference between Mechanical Comparator and Electrical comparator

The difference between mechanical Comparator and electrical Comparator is as follows: MECHANICAL COMPARATOR: The Mechanical Comparator has more number of moving parts.  Due to more moving parts present in this system there is a high rate of wear and friction. Mechanical comparator is not high accuracy. Readings of this Comparator do not affect by variations …

Nomenclature of screw thread

Nomenclature of screw thread: Nomenclature of screw thread: Nomenclature of screw thread represents the futures of screw, the main function of screws is to join/combine different metal/non-metals elements together. There are various types of screws for different types of joining, and the formation of threads is done by providing a helical grooves on a circular/cylindrical metal. …
