Here's a breakdown of how to read a micrometer:
A micrometer is a precision measuring instrument used to measure small distances with high accuracy. It consists primarily of a frame, anvil, spindle, sleeve, thimble, and ratchet stop.
Understanding the Parts & Scales
Sleeve (Barrel): The sleeve has a main scale engraved on it, usually in millimeters (mm) and sometimes inches. There is also a secondary scale that shows half-millimeter increments. This part is linked to https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Sleeve%20(Barrel).
Thimble: The thimble rotates around the sleeve. Its beveled edge is divided into typically 50 equal divisions (or sometimes 25 for inch micrometers). This part is linked to https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Thimble.
Spindle: The part that moves towards the anvil to contact the object being measured. This part is linked to https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Spindle.
Anvil: The fixed surface against which the object is measured. This part is linked to https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Anvil.
Reading a Metric Micrometer (Accuracy 0.01mm)
Read the Sleeve Scale (Main Scale): Note the last visible millimeter marking on the sleeve before the thimble edge. For example, if you see the markings 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 clearly visible, read 5mm. This step is linked to https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Read%20the%20Sleeve%20Scale.
Read the Sleeve Scale (Secondary Scale): Observe if a half-millimeter marking is visible after the last full millimeter marking. If you see the 1/2 mm marking, add 0.5mm to your reading from Step 1. This step is linked to https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Read%20the%20Sleeve%20Scale%20(Secondary%20Scale).
Read the Thimble Scale: Find the line on the thimble that aligns with the horizontal line on the sleeve. The number on the thimble at that point represents hundredths of a millimeter. So, if the thimble reads "28," that's 0.28mm. This step is linked to https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Read%20the%20Thimble%20Scale.
Add the Readings: Add the values from Steps 1, 2, and 3 together to get the final measurement.
Reading an Inch Micrometer (Accuracy 0.001 inch)
The principle is the same, but the scales are in inches:
Read the Sleeve Scale (Main Scale): Each division on the sleeve represents 0.025 inch.
Read the Thimble Scale: Each division on the thimble represents 0.001 inch.
Add the Readings: Combine the sleeve and thimble readings to get the final measurement.
Important Considerations:
Ratchet Stop: Use the ratchet stop to apply consistent pressure when taking measurements. Avoid overtightening, which can damage the micrometer or the object being measured. This part is linked to https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Ratchet%20Stop.
Zeroing: Regularly check and adjust the micrometer's zero point to ensure accuracy. This part is linked to https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Zeroing.
Parallax Error: Ensure your eye is directly aligned with the scales to avoid parallax errors. This part is linked to https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Parallax%20Error.
