When reading a small-hole gauge how is the micrometer reading taken in relation to the split in the ball on the split or 90 degrees to it?
90 degrees
How do you read micrometers?
Difficult to explain without diagrams, but the micrometer relies on an accurate screw which advances the caliper a precise amount with each revolution. So you turn the screw until the object is lightly held, then read the axial scale and add on for the number of screw turns above the nearest scale reading. The most accurate type also have a vernier scale for very small distances. I suggest you look at Wikipedia 'Micrometer' which has a thorough explanation with diagrams.
How do you take readings from a micrometer screw gauge?
The first step is to find the zero error and hence the zero correction. Rotate the micrometer until the fixed and movable jaws contact each other - not too hard and not too soft but just right, you should geta feel for this. Rarely will a micrometer will read zero. You need to figure out the zero error. It may be positive or negative. If the zero error is positive then the zero correction is negative and vicevers. Now open the micrometer and insert the object to be measured and close the micrometer with ideally the same sense of pressure you felt when you found the zero error. Now read the micrometer. You add the zero correction to get the true value.
What are the errors in micrometer screw gauge?
This micrometer has zero error.The zero marking on the thimble is below the datum line. So this micrometerhas a positive zero error.In this case we will take the reading on the thimble.Thimble reading = 0.03 mmSo the micrometer has a zero error of +0.03 mm.Whatever reading we take on this micrometer we would have to subtract +0.03 mmThe zero marking on the thimble is above the datum line. So this micrometerhas a negative zero error.In this case we will have to count the number of divisions on the thimble between the zero marking and the datum line.No. of divisions = 3Measurement of each division = 0.01mmSo the micrometer has a zero error of -0.03 mm.Whatever reading we take on this micrometer we would have to subtract -0.03 mm
What is bigger a meter or a micrometer?
A meter is larger than a micrometer.
What type of micrometer is easiest to read?
A digital micrometer is the easiest to read as it displays the exact reading on a screen.
How do you read an English micrometer?

How do you read a micrometer?
In order to read a micrometer, you will use the numbers on the thimble and on the sleeve. The numbers on the sleeve are broken down into 4 parts. Think of them as dollars with whole numbers and quarters. The numbers on the thimble can be represented as pennies, or ones. If the sleeve is at 9 3/4 and the thimble is at 4, the reading would be .979.
An imperial micrometer can read to what accuracy?
An imperial micrometer can measure to within 0.001in (1000th of an inch).
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.
To what decimal can you estimate the reading on a micrometer?
My micrometer reads out to ten-thousandths of an inch.EX: .2501".This is 250 thousandths plus 1-ten thousandths of an inch.I never guesstimate a reading...Hope this helps
How tight is the thimble turned when testing zero on a micrometer?
All you need to do is make contact. Tightening will give you a false reading and eventually damage the micrometer.

What is the present perfect tense for read?
The present perfect tense for "read" is "has/have read."
What is the expected Error using micrometer?
the spindle must be tighten to avoid slightly changes on the reading
