What are Different Types of Threads
Before discussing the different types of threads, let’s understand the threads. There are many things around us that are connected with the help of thread. The very first fasting part with threads was used in ancient Rome. At the beginning of the 17th century, the thread connection appeared similar to that we used today. Initially, […]
Types of Engines and their explanation
Before Discussing the types of engines, first, let us understand what is a heat engine. Any type of machine or engine that derives heat energy from the combustion of fuel or from any other source and which converts this energy into mechanical energy is called a Heat Engine. Types of Engines Heat Engines can be […]
Pressure Gauge Types, Working Principle
Pressure gauges are devices that are used to measure the pressure of the system. To understand the concept of pressure gauge and how it works, first of all, we need to understand what is pressure. Pressure is an essential component of our daily life. Generally, we speak about atmospheric pressure, vacuum pressure, blood pressure, and […]
Lathe Machine Parts, Types, Accesories, Operations
The lathe machine is also called the mother of all the machine tools. This machine is one of the most widely used machine tools all over the world and it is very versatile. Functions of Lathe Machine The main function of the lathe machine is to remove the material from the workpiece to get the […]
Pressure Relief Valve Working, Types, Parts
A pressure relief valve is a safety device that is used to protect the equipment during an overpressure event. Now, first of all, we will understand what an over-pressure event is. An overpressure event is a condition in which, the pressure of the system get exceeds the design pressure of the system or we can […]
Flow Control Valve, Types, Working, Parts
As the name suggests, a flow control valve is defined as the valve which is used to control the rate of flow through a hydraulic circuit. The main function of flow control valves is to increase or decrease the speed of actuators, for example, hydraulic cylinders or hydraulic motors. If there is no flow control […]
What is Hydraulics and Hydraulic components
Hydraulics has been derived from 2 Greek words that are: ‘Hydor’ which means water and ‘Aulus’ which means pipe. So in simple terms, we can say that hydraulic can be defined as the work done by the fluids in the pipes. Hydraulic is one of the main sources of power transmission in modern equipment and […]
Types of Gears
There are many types of gears. Gear is generally defined as the rotating circular machine part which is having the teeth cut on its surface and these teeth mesh with the other teeth to transmit the torque and speed. Gear devices can generally change the torque, speed, and direction of a power source. Two or […]
Micrometer (Screw Gauge): Working Principle, Least Count, Parts and Units
The micrometer is also known as the micrometer screw gauge and is used to measure the dimensions particularly linear dimensions of the objects. It is used to measure the outside diameter, thickness, and length of solid objects. Parts of the Micrometer First of all, we will check the parts of the micrometer and will understand […]
Vernier Caliper: Diagram, Least Count, Formula
Vernier Caliper is a measuring instrument that is used to take the dimensions of objects whether the dimension is linear or measuring the diameter of round objects. Vernier Caliper is invented by French mathematician Pierre Vernier in 1631. The main use of the vernier caliper over the main scale is to get precise and accurate measurements. […]
