How to Read a Micrometer Scale?

[AvaMarie]

Reading steps for a micrometer are as follows: Read the scale on the fixed sleeve corresponding to the left end face line of the movable sleeve; Align one of the scale lines on the movable sleeve with the zero reference line on the fixed sleeve and read the scale; Add the readings of the above two scales. Below is a detailed introduction to micrometers: Brief Description: A micrometer, also known as a screw gauge, screw micrometer, or micrometer caliper, is a more precise tool for measuring length compared to a vernier caliper. It can measure lengths accurately up to 0.01mm, with a measurement range of several centimeters. Classification of Micrometers: Micrometers can be divided into mechanical micrometers, electronic micrometers, vernier reading outside micrometers, small head outside micrometers, pointed head outside micrometers, wall thickness micrometers, sheet thickness micrometers, and micrometers with a micro head to be measured, among others.
