The micrometer’s framehas a baked enamel finish for protection and durability. The vernier scale onthe thimble and sleeve is graduated to 0.001” with a satin chrome rust- andglare-resistant finish. The spindle and anvil have flat measuring faces andare carbide-tipped for wear resistance. A spindle lock helps provide securelocking of the measurement position.Micrometers are precision measuringinstruments that use a calibrated screw to measure small distances. Thesemeasurements are translated into large rotations of the screw that are thenable to be read from a scale or a dial. Micrometers are typically used inmanufacturing machining and mechanical engineering. There are three types ofmicrometer: outside inside and depth. Outside micrometers may also be calledmicrometer calipers and are used to measure the length width or outsidediameter of an object. Inside micrometers are typically used to measureinterior diameter as in a hole. Depth micrometers measure the height ordepth of any shape that has a step groove or slot.Mitutoyo manufacturesprecision measuring tools metrology equipment and systems.
