This is a tool that is used to measure the pitch diameter of a screw. This tool looks like a standard micrometer except that the anvils are specially configured to reach into the screw thread groove and touch the pitch diameter of the screw thread. The screw thread micrometer does not measure any other aspect of the screw thread. It does not measure the: pitch; threads-per-inch; major diameter; minor diameter; flank angles; lead; helix angle.

What is the function of screw thread?
it is what allows the screw to grip into the material its being screwed into. a screw without a thread is a nail
What is the relationship between a nut thread and a screw thread?
when a spiral groove is cut over a hole, then it is nut thread. when a spiral groove is cut over a shaft, then it is screw thread.
What is the Thread used in lead screw?
An acme thread is the most commonly used.
What is the peak of a screw thread called?
Crest
What type of thread provides screw jack spindle?
in case of simple screw jack it's single start square thread in case of worm geared screw jack it's double start square thread double start gives greater speed but requires more torque ,hence worm geared :)

What does a micrometer caliper screw of pitch 0.5 mm mean?
It means that there is .5mm from a particular spot on one thread to the corresponding spot on the next thread
What is micrometer screw?
The ANSI B1.11 Microscope Objective Screw Threads standard covers the single screw thread size: 0.8000"-36 AMO. The standard lays out the screw thread parameters and the parameters for screw thread gauging. There is some mis-information published on the web related to this screw thread which is corrected at this webpage: http://www.ring-plug-thread-gages.com/ti-spec-ANSI-ASME-B1.11.htm
What instrument measures the volume of a screw?
A micrometer (or micrometer screw gauge) measures the volume of a screw.
HOW TO USE A screw-thread micrometer?
First calibrate the micrometer by dialing the spindle to zero and adjusting the anvil until it is flush against the spindle. Measure the screw until the ratchet begins to click and take the first reading. This reading can then be compared to a machining book to verify the pitch diameter.
Why the instrument is named Screw gauge?
The instrument is called a screw gauge, or more often a micrometer, because it uses a screw to amplify a very small movement so that it can easily be read. The heart of the screw gauge is a very accurately ground thread, usually of 0.5mm pitch, so that the axial movement of the screw corresponds to a much larger movement of a barrel which carries a scale. The instrument can be difficult to read because two readings have to be added, one measuring to 0.5mm the linear motion of the screw, and the other on the barrel giving the 1/100 ths. To some extent this instrument has been superseded by the electronic digital version, which does not incorporate a screw thread. A different gauge, called a thread gauge, comprises a set of metal blades with serrated edges which can be used to identify different screw threads by matching the right blade to the thread by trial and error.
What is the total movement indicated on the thimble if it has been rotated one revolution on a micrometer from zero?
It depends on the screw thread pitch (or "lead") in the heart of the micrometer. Typically, screw pitches in common hand-held micrometers are 40 per inch in an Imperial micrometer or 2 per millimetre in a Metric micrometer. Thus, one full turn of the thimble of an Imperial micrometer is 1/40th of an inch (25 thousandths of an inch or "25 thou") and similarly, one full turn of the thimble of a Metric micrometer is 1/2 a millimetre (500 micrometres).

Angle of thread for different thread?
The angle of a thread of a screw is an angle between the threads and it is the defining factor for the shape of the screw thread.
What is single thread of screw thread?
when lead of the screw is equal to the pitch it is called single threaded screw
How do you measure from micrometer of dia?
Put it between two jaw piece micrometer. Screw close movable jaw. And read on a micrometer ruler.
