Description
A micrometer is a precision measuring tool that can measure a smaller range of lengths than a vernier caliper. It can be digital or analog, and has an accuracy of 0.001mm - digital and 0.01mm - analog. Micrometers are typically used to measure small dimensions, such as the length of a screw or the diameter of a bolt. Before using a micrometer, make sure the workpiece is clean and free of burrs. The temperature of the workpiece is also important - it should be around 20C to provide consistent measuring results.
Micrometer
Range:
50-75mm
Readout: Digital and analog
Accuracy: 0.001mm - digital
0.01mm - analog
Application:
A micrometer generally provides greater precision than a vernier caliper, but
can measure a smaller range of lengths.
Before using a micrometer:
Make sure the workpiece being measured is clean and has no burrs on the
edges.
The temperature of the workpiece is required to be around 20C to
have consistent measuring results.
Precision measuring tools should never be put near a magnetic area to
avoid the micrometer being magnetized.
