Description
A micrometer is a precision measuring tool that can measure a range of lengths from 25-50mm. It can be read out in digital or analog form, and has an accuracy of 0.001mm-0.01mm. It is typically used for measuring small dimensions, such as the length of a screw or the width of a hole.
Micrometer
Range:
25-50mm
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.
