Sine bar
It is a precision measuring instrument and is an excellent example of combination of linear measurement and angular measurement when used in conjunction with gauge blocks (slipgauges). It consists of a bar carrying a suitable pair of rollers set a known centre distance. It is made of high carbon, high chromium corrosion resistant steel, suitably hardened, precision ground and stabilised. Relief holes are provided for easy handling of sine bar and for reducing the weight of the sine bar. It should be used on a grade A surface plate.
