COMPARATOR:
A device for comparing something measurable with a reference or standard such as two
voltages or currents.
PURPOSE:
The purpose of a comparator is to detect and display the small differences between the
unknown linear dimensions and the length of the standard. The difference in lengths is
detected as a displacement of a sensing probe. The important and essential function of the
instruments is to magnify or amplify the small input displacement so that it is displayed on
an analog scale.
DESIRABLE FEATURES:
1. Recording scale should be linear
2. Maximum rigidity
3. Maximum compensation of temperature effect
4. Neither lag nor backlash in the movement of the plunger & recording mechanism
5. Indicator should be constant in its return to zero
6. Measurement pressure should be low & constant
7. Instrument should be capable of a wide measuring range
8. Should be able to record variations of 0.0025mm.
USES OF COMPARATORS:
1. To inspect newly purchased gauges
2. In mass production, where components are to be checked at a very fast rate
3. As laboratory standards from which working or inspection gauges are set & correlated
4. As working, to prevent work spoilage & to maintain required tolerance at all important
stages of manufacture

CLASSIFICATION OF COMPARATORS:
With respect to the principle used in amplifying and recording
measurement,comparators are classified as follows:
1. Mechanical Comparators
2. Mechanical-optical Comparators
3. Electric and Electronic Comparators
4. pneumatic Comparators
5. other types like projection Comparators and multi-check comparators
PNEUMATIC COMPARATOR:
The instruments which are operated by the gas or air under pressure are called
as Pneumatic.
In Pneumatic comparators, air is used as the magnification system.
Using the pneumatic comparators enables two approaches for measuring the Deflection in
measurement by
The response of the comparator working on the airflow is quite faster when compared to
the comparator working on the air pressure. We can magnify up to 30,000 more than the
actual movement.

WORKING PRINCIPLE:
The Pneumatic Comparators are working based on the Bernoulli’s Theory.
The Bernoulli’s theory states that: The velocity of the fluid will be increased with respect to
increasing pressure.
