Reading and Setting a 0.001-Inch Micrometer

A micrometer is read by observing the position of the bevel edge of the thimble in reference to the barrel. Observe the greatest 0.100-inch division and the number of 0.025-inch divisions on the barrel scale. To this barrel reading, add the number of the 0.100-inch divisions on the thimble that coincide with the horizontal line (reading line) on the barrel scale.

Procedure to read a 0.100-inch micrometer
�?Observe the greatest 0.100-inch division on the barrel scale.
�?Observe the number of 0.025-inch divisions on the barrel scale.
�?Add the thimble scale reading (.100-inch division) that coincides with the horizontal line on the barrel scale.

Example 1 Read the micrometer setting shown.
Observe the greatest 0.100-inch division on the barrel scale.(three 0.100’�?0.300’�?
Observe the number of 0.025-inch divisions between the 0.300-inch mark and the thimble.( two 0.025’�?0.050)
Add the thimble scale reading that coincides with the horizontal line on the barrel scale.(eight 0.001’�?0.008’�?
Micrometer reading:0.300’�?0.050+0.008’�?0.358’�? Ans
