2 purpose :

micrometer screw gauge, is a device incorporating a calibrated screw widely used for
accurate measurement of components in mechanical engineering and machining as well as
most mechanical trades, along with other metrological instruments such as dial, vernier, and
digital calipers.

3 constructions:

A simple screw gauge consists of a U-shaped metal frame with a metal stud at its one end.
A hollow cylinder (or sleeve) has a millimeter scale – over it along a line called index line parallel
to its axis. The hollow cylinder acts as a nut. It is fixed at the end of U-shaped frame opposite to
the stud. A Thimble has a threaded spindle inside it. Micrometer Screw Gauge

The circular scale is generally divided into 50 or 100 equal parts and the least count of the
main scale is 0.5mm

4 operation:

 1. First of all place the wire between stud and spindle of screw gauge.

2. Turn the ratchet so that the object is pressed gently between the stud and spindle.

3. Note main scale as well as circular scale readings to find the diameter of given wire.

4. Repeat these steps three times to get the average diameter of wire. Micrometer

6 servicing and storage


Cleaning Micrometers

Firstly, micrometers like all tools in your arsenal should be kept clean. You should
regularly wipe the circumference of the spindle and both measuring faces of your
micrometer with a dry, lint-free cloth.
Re-Calibrating Micrometers

Be careful not to drop your micrometer. If you have accidentally damaged your
micrometer, ensure that it is inspected for accuracy before taking measurements. 
 
You may need to recalibrate your micrometer. Every so often, or after the
micrometer has been in storage for an extended period, apply a small amount of
multi-purpose oil to its exterior using a lint free cloth to prevent corrosion and rust.
 
It would also be prudent to oil the internal thread of the micrometer if the micrometer
is used very occasionally or unlikely to be used for many months.
Storing a Micrometer
Make sure that you store your micrometer in a ventilated place with low humidity,
and ideally at room temperature.
 
Most micrometers come with a protective storage case to keep them safe when not
in use. 
 
When not using the micrometer, ensure that there is a gap between the measuring
faces.
 
If the spindle and anvil are in contact with each other, the accuracy of the micrometer
could be affected
