Introduction
The Universal Bevel Protractor is a universal and highly accurate device for the measurement of angles between surfaces in such fields as mechanical engineering, machining, and woodworking. It is a graduated circular scale, pivoting arm, and Vernier scale capable of measuring angles to a very high degree of precision. It is indispensable in angular measurements when precision is necessary, such as in creating molds, cutting angles, or ensuring the correctness of assembly parts.
Instrumentation
The Universal Bevel Protractor has several main components. The main scale is graduated in a circular scale marked in degrees. Though rough angle measurements can be taken directly using the main scale, the vernier scale is designed to offer finer resolution for more accurate reading. This arm over which the level pivots is adjustable and allows it to accept the angle being measured, though once the angle is set, the mechanism of lock will lock it in its position. Other models also offer an acute angle attachment for measuring smaller angles, thus increasing the capabilities of the tool.
Strengths of Universal Bevel Protractor
The Universal Bevel Protractor possesses the following advantages: It is very sensitive. Because of the interaction between the Vernier and the main scale, the instrument may be used to measure to minutes of a degree. This is sufficient for most applications that demand precision. Its versatility allows it to measure interior angles as well as exterior angles.
Limitations
Despite this precision, there are some drawbacks to the Universal Bevel Protractor. One is that it takes skill and patience to take readings with a high degree of accuracy, and minor misinterpretations can quickly lead to erroneous results. Also, the measuring range of the protractor normally runs from 360 degrees. This may be limited to applications of very large-scale levels. The instrument’s calibration becomes meaningless if allowed to degenerate over some time and will result in inaccurate readings.
Related Techniques to Universal Bevel Protractor
Related techniques are, goniometers used for angle measurement in anatomy and biomechanics for application use in field-related precise angle measurement, theodolites and inclinometers used for measurement in construction and surveys to measure angles over a larger scale.
