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


Why is the thimble portion of the micrometer knurled?

The knurling gives the fingers a better, non-slip grip.


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).


How much does a thimble hold in ml?

The exact details would really depend on the type of atom (the element), as well as the state of matter. And obviously on the size of the thimble! However, a general order-of-magnitude estimate would be close to Avogadro's Number (about 6 x 1023); one gram of hydrogen has that many atoms, so do 12 grams of carbon. Probably that many atoms would fill a few thimbles, in the case of most elements.


What is the precautions you should take when using a micrometer screw gauge?

it should be clean and dry there should be no error the thimble shouldnt be too tight

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.
