OUTSIDE MICROMETER
Principle :- The Micrometer works on the principle of screw and nut. The linear movement of the spindle during one rotation is equal to the pitch of screw. Uses :- Precision Outside linear measurement.
Range :-
(Metric) :0-25mm, 2550mm 50-75mm, 75100mm (British) :0-1, 1-2, 23...... up to 12. 12-16, 16-20, 2024.

3. Thimble:- Divisions are marked on this cylindrical portion. Knurling is made on it for better gripping.
4. Spindle:- Spindle is one of the contacting surface during measurement. It moves to and fro as thimble rotated.
5. Anvil:- It is the another contacting surface which is fixed in Frame. 6. Lock nut:- This nut is used to lock the movement of the spindle. 7. Ratchet:- Ratchet is used to apply uniform pressure during measurement.
Barrel graduation
Thimble graduation
Example of Reading - 1
In given figure first read the barrel graduation. Which is 13. i.e. 13 mm. Half millimeter is also visible. Thus 00.50 mm 13.50 mm 13.00 mm +
Example of Reading - 1
Next read the thimble graduation, which is 13. Multiply it by L.C. which is 0.01mm. = 13 x 0.01 mm = 0.13mm. Summation of all above readings,13.50mm +0.13mm 13.63mm
Example of Reading - 2
In given figure first read the barrel graduation. Which is 7. i.e. 7 mm. Half millimeter is not visible. Next read the thimble graduation, which is 31. Multiply it by L.C. which is 0.01mm. = 31 x 0.01 mm = 0.31mm. Summation of all above readings, 07.00 +00.31 07.31 mm
