MARKING OUT AND MEASURING GCSE RESISTANT MATERIALS @PENYRHEOLDT

MEASURING FACTSHEET Rules

Uses Advantages  For measuring up to 300mm  Rigid form which means it will in length not bend and flex

Disadvantages

 Ends can get worn so the measurements are not accu- rate

MEASURING FACTSHEET

Measuring Tape

Uses Advantages  For taking measurements up  Longer, so more versatile to 5 metres

Disadvantages

 Can become twisted and break

 Ends can break off making them useless

MEASURING FACTSHEET Gauges

Uses Advantages  Making lines from a datum  Greater accuracy point/line  Easier to start a cut (Cutting Gauge only)  Making locations for mortise grooves  Can be used to make the same di- mensions across different loca-  Creating cut lines tions

Disadvantages

 Points/blades become blunt over time

 Some parts may become lost making them useless

 Datum lines have to be accu- rate

MEASURING FACTSHEET Templates

Properties Uses  Can be made from any mate-  Used for marking out multiple rial shapes/designs ensuring they are all identical to each other.

Advantages Disadvantages

 All designs/shapes are identi-  Can become worn and inaccu- cal rate over time

 Speeds up marking out times

 Designs/shape templates can be reused at a later date

MEASURING FACTSHEET Micrometre Uses Advantages  Measuring material thickness-  Highly accurate, measuring to es to a high degree of accura- 0.01mm cy

 Internal Micrometre can be used to measure internal di- mensions e.g. hole diameters

Disadvantages

 Can be difficult to read if inex- perienced

 If dropped can be broken easi- ly

 Expensive to buy

 Highly accurate, measuring to 0.01mm

Uses Advantages  Measuring material thickness-  Highly accurate, measuring to es to a high degree of accura- 0.01mm cy  Digital versions are easier to  Used to measure depths read compared to microme-

 Used to measure internal di- tres ameters  More versatile to a microme- tre

Disadvantages

 If dropped can be broken easi- ly

 Expensive to buy
