Disadvantages of micrometer?

I assume that you are enquiring about a 'micrometer', the precision measuring instrument, as opposed to a 'micrometre' (to use the British spelling), which is an SI unit for distance? I guess this sums up the problem with the US spelling!A micrometer has no particular disadvantages -it does exactly what it is designed to do. I suppose you could say that you have to be taught how to read a micrometer is a 'disadvantage', but this is true for most analogue instruments. However, there are digital micrometers which overcome this difficulty.


What is slip gauge exlain it briefly with a solid definition?

Slip gauges (also known as gage blocks, Johansson gauges, or Gauge blocks) are precision ground and lapped measuring standards. They are used as references for the setting of measuring equipment such as micrometers, gap gauges, sine bars, dial indicators (when used in an inspection role). They are available in various grades depending on their intended use. · Calibration (AA) - (tolerance +0.00010 mm to -0.00005 mm) · Reference (AAA) -high tolerance (± 0.00005 mm or 0.000002 in) inspection (A) - (tolerance +0.00015 mm to -0.00005 mm) · workshop (B) - low tolerance (tolerance +0.00025 mm to -0.00015mm
