Because it can measure gauge of wire and has screw type structure.
A screw pitch gauge is a precision instrument. It is used for measuring diameter of circular objects mostly wires, with an accuracy of 0.001cm. It consists of a hollow cylinder mounted on a U frame. The hollow cylinder leads to a ratchet which is meant for fine adjustment. The U frame consists of a flat end known as stud and a screw on the other side. This screw can be moved inside the nut by fitted in the U frame by rotating the hollow cylinder called the thimble. This is called the main scale. The hollow cylinder or the thimble is graduated into 50 or 100 equal parts. This is called the circular scale
If you wrap an inclined plane around a small circle what you will end up with is a screw jack
An inclined plane wrapped around a cylindrical post is called a screw.
In an Experiment to determine the linear expansion of copper, a micrometer screw gauge is one of the apparatus used, and it's usually fixed at the end of the metal rod. Now the reason why the micrometer screw gauge should always be reset back from the end of the bar is to avoid the heating of the micrometer screw gauge which would expand it,hence giving inaccurate measurements when taking the change in length of the rod. Since the experiment is all about linear expansion,it involves heat also. This heat is the one that would heat the rod and after the heat would be uniformly conducted throughout the bar,it would also heat the micrometer screw gauge at the end. This is the reason why it should be reset back from the end of the rod(to avoid it's heating)
Sometimes the propeller on a boat is called a screw & they used to be made of lead. So they would be found at the end of the propeller shaft.
A Dowel screw.
A screw dozer?
ones called a nail the others called a screw. Also you hammer in a nail but screw in a screw. Hope this answer helps. :)
The screw part at the end of the headpiece is for tuning.
A screw is called an inclined plane because it is. The only difference between a screw and an inclined plane is the way they look and how they work. A screw is an inclined plane that moves.
when lead of the screw is equal to the pitch it is called single threaded screw
The same reason ships propellers are called screws, they kinda "screw" their way through the air/sea like an enormous wood screw.
It's only called a 5 screw if it has 5 screws
The hole that you put a screw into is referred to as a "tapped hole". The rib-like things in the hole are called "threads" or, more specifically, "internal threads" as opposed to the external threads on a screw.
General Screw Steam Shipping Company ended in 1857.
A screw or a bolt is an inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder.
