OUTSIDE MICROMETER
Principle :- The Micrometer works on the principle of screw and nut. The linear movement of the spindle during one rotation is equal to the pitch of screw. Uses :- Precision Outside linear measurement.
Range :-
(Metric) :0-25mm, 25-50mm 5075mm, 75-100mm (British) :0-1, 1-2, 2-3...... up to 12. 12-16, 16-20, 20-24.
2. Barrel/Sleeve:- Main scale is graduated on it with 0.5 mm distance. 3. Thimble:- Divisions are marked on this cylindrical portion. Knurling is made on it for better gripping.
4. Spindle:- Spindle is one of the contacting surface during measurement. It moves to and fro as thimble rotated.
5. Anvil:- It is the another contacting surface which is fixed in Frame. 6. Lock nut:- This nut is used to lock the movement of the spindle.
7. Ratchet:- Ratchet is used to apply uniform pressure during measurement.
Barrel graduation
Thimble graduation
Then read the barrel graduations. Read the value of the visible lines on the left of the thimble edge.
Example of Reading - 1
In given figure first read the barrel graduation. Which is 13. i.e. 13 mm. Half millimeter is also visible. Thus 13.00 mm + 00.50 mm 13.50 mm
Example of Reading - 1
Next read the thimble graduation, which is 13. Multiply it by L.C. which is 0.01mm. = 13 x 0.01 mm = 0.13mm.
Example of Reading - 2
In given figure first read the barrel graduation. Which is 7. i.e. 7 mm. Half millimeter is not visible. Next read the thimble graduation, which is 31. Multiply it by L.C. which is 0.01mm. = 31 x 0.01 mm = 0.31mm.
