Readout: Analog
Accuracy: 0.01mm
Application:
The Tork Craft Micrometer 0-25mm Manual is a precision measuring instrument designed for accurate measurement of small dimensions with a range from 0 to 25 millimeters. It features a manual operation mechanism, typically involving a precision screw for fine adjustments and a calibrated scale for precise readings.
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.
Features
- Hardened measuring faces and a painted frame.
- Plastic storage box and an adjustment spanner.
- Positive spindle lock fitted.
How to use and read a micrometer:
Use:
An object to be measured will be placed between the spindle and the anvil. The ratchet knob is then turned until the spindle lightly touches the object. Clean the spindle and anvil faces before and after reading an object.
Spindle:
The spindle is connected to a calibrated screw with a pitch of 0.5mm (metric). One full revolution of the thimble advances the spindle face towards or away from the anvil face precisely by 0.5mm.
Sleeve:
The reading line on the sleeve is graduated above the central long line in millimetres (1.0mm) with every fifth millimetre being numbered. The reading line below the central long line is graduated in half-millimetres (0.5mm)
Thimble:
The beveled edge of the thimble is divided into 50 equal parts with each line representing 0.01mm and every fifth line being numbered from 0-50. Thus the reading is given by the number of millimetre and half-millimetre divisions visible on the sleeve plus the number of hundredths of a millimetre indicated by the thimble graduation which coincides with the central long line on the sleeve.
Here is an example of reading 7.74mm:
Handling and care of micrometers:
- The micrometer should be handled with great care. Wipe the faces of the spindle and the anvil clean from any dust or dirt before and after reading a measurement.
- The accuracy should be periodically checked by measuring a known dimension.
- Oil may be lightly applied to prevent rust.
- A micrometer is a measuring instrument and should be safely stowed away to prevent any damage from occurring.
