A metric micrometer is a precision tool used to measure objects in millimeters with high accuracy:
-
What it isA micrometer is a measuring tool that encloses an object to determine its size. It’s also known as a micrometer screw gauge.
-
How it worksMicrometers use Abbe’s principle to ensure that the measurement target and the scale are in line with each other, which improves accuracy.
-
What it measuresMetric micrometers typically measure in 0.01 mm increments. They can be used to measure the thickness of an object or the outside diameter of a part.
-
How it compares to other toolsMicrometers are more accurate than other measuring tools like dial calipers or vernier calipers.
-
Types of micrometersThere are different types of micrometers for different measurement applications, such as inside micrometers, bore micrometers, tube micrometers, and depth micrometers.
