Calibrating micrometers: For quick reference the supplied test piece can be used. For calibrating a micrometer, gauge blocks are used.
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.
A machinist such as a lathe operator would use a micrometer caliper for precise measurements of the product he is machining, Also used by designers of precision parts and programmers of precision machines.
A micrometer is used to measure very small distances.
Yes. An inside micrometer or bore micrometer can be used for measuring the bore of a machined cylinder.

How can I calibrate a micrometer without the use of gage blocks. Any adjustments on the device?
I personally have know idea but tectronics? tektronics? will calibrate it for about $70.00
Caliper. Micrometer
a tiny ruler that you know the measurements of, and you use it to calibrate the ocular lens of a microscope
Because that can be calibrated out of the bar can be fixed.
by measuring something with a known constant thickness, a dollar bill or something. A 'gage block' is best

You could use a simple ruler, or a micrometer for greater accuracy.
