How to read a Micrometer Screw Gauge

A micrometer, sometimes known as a micrometer screw gauge, is a device incorporating a calibrated screw widely used for accurate measurement of components in mechanical engineering and machining as well as most mechanical trades, along with other metrological instruments such as dial, vernier, and digital calipers. Micrometers are usually, but not always, in the form of calipers (opposing ends joined by a frame). The spindle is a very accurately machined screw and the object to be measured is placed between the spindle and the anvil. The spindle is moved by turning the ratchet knob or thimble until the object to be measured is lightly touched by both the spindle and the anvil.

well tought 😊

May please briefly differentiate between sleeve and thimble reading...

[@iqinitiative]

Sleeve: It's a barrel type cylindrical part which mounted on spindle and is main scale of micrometer because main scale is engraved on the sleeve . Thimble rotates around that sleeve and spindle. Its main function is indication of reading in millimeter in case of imperial micrometer. The Sleeve does not move. It looks like a ruler with ten numbers. The space between each number is divided into quarters. As the Thimble rotates around this Sleeve it covers up, or reveals the numbers marked on the Sleeve.
