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).
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
There are numbers/lines that encircle the barrel from 1 to 25. Each of these is one one thousandth of an inch (.001") or a total of 25 thousandths (.025") for each complete revolution. The linear scale on the body has lines, the number depends upon how large the capacity of the micrometer is, but each line is a total of 25 thousandths of an inch (.025") or one complete revolution of the barrel.
1 Micrometer is one milliionth of a metre. that's even smaller than the with of your hair!
A screw with a graduated head used in some forms of micrometers; turning the head one full revolution advances the position of the tip of the screw only by a little or A screw with fine threads used for the measurements of small spaces.

1 micrometer = 0.001 millimeters. Google can be used for unit conversions.
Hi, heres how you calculate least count of a micrometer. Use the given formula: Least Count (L. C) = Pitch/no. of divisions on micrometer barrel(thimble) where, Pitch = distance travelled by thimble on linear scale in one rotation. Hi, heres how you calculate least count of a micrometer.

1000000 - one million
1/1000 mm = 1 μm (micrometer)
One micrometre is equal to one millionth of a metre.

A 'micrometer' is a unit of length equal to one thousandth (10 -3) of a millimeter or one millionth (10 -6) of a meter. [For your information, - A 'nanometer' is a unit of length equal one thousandth (10 -3) of a micrometer, one millionth (10 -6) of a millimeter or to one billionth (10−9) of a meter].
There are 11 micrometer in 1 decimeter
