Which of the following instrument is used to check concentricity of outside diameter?

  • A.Vernier caliper
  • B.Outside micrometer
  • C.Dial test indicator
  • D.Dial caliper

Answer: C

Concentricity of an outside diameter is checked with a dial test indicator.

Concentricity is a check of runout: the work is rotated, between centres or on V-blocks, while the indicator's stylus rests on the diameter. Any eccentricity shows as a swing of the pointer, read directly in hundredths of a millimetre.

A vernier caliper, an outside micrometer and a dial caliper all measure the size of a diameter at one place. They cannot show whether that diameter runs true about the axis, which is what concentricity means.
