Description
This is a description of a micrometer, its range, accuracy, and application.
Micrometer
Range: 0-25mm
Readout: Analog
Accuracy: 0.01mm
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 20°C to have consistent measuring results.
- Precision measuring tools should never be put near a magnetic area to avoid the micrometer being magnetized.
