Key Features
0.01 mm Least Count
The instrument has a 0.01 mm least count, allowing small measurements to be read to a hundredth of a millimetre.
Two Range Options
Available in 0–20 mm and 0–25 mm ranges to accommodate different measurement requirements.
Ratchet Stop & Lock Nut
The ratchet mechanism helps apply consistent measuring pressure, while the lock nut can hold the spindle position during reading.
U-Shaped Frame
The sturdy U-shaped frame provides the basic structure needed for practical laboratory measurements.
Applications
The Screw Gauge (Micrometer) can be used for:
- Measuring the diameter of wires
- Measuring the thickness of metal sheets
- Measuring the thickness of thin materials such as paper
- School and college physics practicals
- Engineering workshop measurements
- Laboratory measurement activities
The measurement is obtained by combining the reading from the main scale with the reading from the circular or thimble scale, using the instrument’s specified least count.
