MCQs on Master Height Gauges
1 - Question
Which of the following is true for master height gauges?
a) This is a stack of slip gauge blocks
b) Can store readings in memory
c) Less skilled labour
d) Has statistical production control
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: Master height gauge is basically a stack of gauge blocks with a robust housing. They can be used with riser blocks. A simple master height gauge cannot store measurements in memory.
2 - Question
How much measuring capacity is increased by using riser blocks with master height gauge?
a) 500 mm
b) 600 mm
c) 700 mm
d) 800 mm
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: Riser blocks are used to adjust the height. With master height gauges it can increase measuring capacity up to 600 mm.
3 - Question
Which of the following option is correct for given statements?
Statement 1: Master height gauge is useful in setting other height gauges.
Statement 2: Can provide a BCD output.
a) Only statement 1 is true
b) Both the statements are true
c) Only statement 2 is true
d) Both the statements are not true
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: Master height gauge is used for setting height gauges and provides a high precision standard. BCD output can be provided by electronic digital readout height gauge.
4 - Question
Which attachment is needed to check squareness and parallelism with master height gauge?
a) Dial test indicator
b) Gauge block
c) Slip rings
d) Micrometer
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: If dial test indicator or lever is attached to master height gauge then this unit can be used to check parallelism and squareness.
5 - Question
Master height Gauge is used to measure ________
a) Hole location
b) Groove widths
c) Pitches
d) Concentricity
View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation: Master height gauges can be used as a height standard to measure hole location, a width of groove, pitches etc. To check concentricity universal measuring instrument is a more accurate device.
6 - Question
Which of the following is incorrect about master height gauges?
a) Can provide a high precision standard
b) It has a digital readout
c) Has a sliding attachment
d) Built-in microprocessor
View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation: There is no microprocessor and micro switch in master height gauges. A master height gauge has a rectangular column with a sliding attachment.
Explanation: There is no microprocessor and micro switch in master height gauges. A master height gauge has a rectangular column with a sliding attachment.
7 - Question
Which of the following option is correct for given statements?
Statement 1: Master height gauge can store measurement in memory.
Statement 2: Functioning of master height gauges is slower than electronic digital readout height gauge.
a) T, F
b) F, F
c) T, T
d) F, T
View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation: Master height gauges are relatively slower than electronic digital read out height gauges. They require more skilled operators.
8 - Question
What is the difference between surface gauge and height gauge?
a) Only surface gauge is used on a surface plate
b) Height gauge has a heavy base
c) Height gauge has a measuring head
d) Surface gauge has a smooth and flat base
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: In toolroom applications, the difference between both is, surface gauge has a scriber point and height gauge has a measuring head.
