    MICROMETER SCREW GAUGE

    INTRODUCTION

    Micrometer screw gauge has a fine threaded movement so


    that small distances can be measured, with a vernier scale
    which allows measurement down to thousandths of an inch.
    PARTS OF A MICROMETER
    Sleeve Thimble(with
    Lock
    (with rotating
    Anvil nut
    main vernier scale)
    Spindle Ratchet
    scale)

    Frame Base line Main scale Micrometer scale


    SPECIAL DEFINITIONS ON MICROMETER MEASUREMENTS

    Pitch- Pitch of the screw is the distance moved by the


    spindle per revolution
    Pitch may vary for different micrometers
    Least count = Pitch / No.of divisions on the circular
    scale
    E.g.: The least count for a micrometer of 100 equal divisions
    and of pitch 0.5 mm is,
    Least count = 0.5mm/100 =0.005mm
    LENGTH FORMULA FOR
    MICROMETER
    Although the least count may vary between different
    micrometers, the length formula for any micrometer is as
    follows:
    Total observed reading = main scale reading +
    [(circular scale division coinciding the
    base line of main scale) x least count]
    ERRORS IN A MICROMETER READING
    There can be two types of zero errors in a micrometer reading:
    1. Positive zero error
    Happens when the zero of the circular/auxillary scale places below the
    zero of the meter scale reading

    2. Negative zero error


    Happens when the zero of the circular/auxillary scale places above the
    zero of the meter scale reading
    NO ZERO ERROR
    No zero error is the precise arrangement of the meter scale
    and the cicular scale so that the zeros of both scales fit each
    other as follows:

    To take precise measurements, we have to ensure that the


    micrometer we are using is of no zero error.
    TAKING MEASUREMENTS
    1. First find whether there’s an error on the micrometer
    2. Then find its least count using the pitch
    3. Move away the rachet and place the object. Then
    move the rachet in the opposite direction
    4. For accurate reading, the thimble should be moved
    until three clicks are heard from the ratchet.
    5. Find the main scale reading. If the main scale shows
    an additional 0.5mm, we have to add that as well.
    6. Then find the value of the circular/auxillary scale that
    coincides with the main scale.
    7. Finally multiply the reading from the circular/auxillary
    scale by the least count and add this product to the main
    scale reading to get the final reading.
    Example:

    Therefore, the
    Therefore, the reading
    reading would be = 0.5 mark
    0.5 mark would be = 0.7 +0.05+
    0.7 + (38×0.01) = visible
    not visible (22×0.01) =
    0.738 cm
