What is a multi anvil micrometer used for?
Multi-anvil micrometers are built with a unique jaw to take measurements that are not possible with standard micrometers. They are commonly used for measuring the wall thickness of tubing, cylindrical walls, and the thickness of screw heads.
Does the Starrett Company make micrometers?
It makes precision steel rules and tapes, calipers, micrometers, and dial indicators, among others. Starrett employs about 2,000 people worldwide, and the company claimed (as of 2008) to be the last remaining full-line precision tool company to be manufacturing their products within the United States.
What is a disc micrometer?
Disc micrometers measure the thickness of work sections like ribs, lands, fins, cutting edges on form tools, and the thickness of gear teeth. With their large anvil and spindle faces, they are also used for measuring thin sheets of materials like paper, cardboard, rubber, and plastics.
What is anvil micrometer?
The micrometer anvil is the part of the micrometer that remains stationary while the measured object is held against it. The anvil connects directly to the frame of the micrometer and varies in shape depending on the measurement task.
What is a depth mic?
A depth micrometer (or depth mic) is a measuring tool commonly used to check precise measurements of slots, keyways, grooves and various other locations. They are a very accurate measuring device. Depth micrometers are commonly used to take measurements to an accuracy of . 001″ or . 0001″ in inches.
Is Starrett still made in the USA?
Starrett Made In America. Starrett has been making tools in the United States since the beginning. We were founded in Athol, Massachusetts in 1880, where our headquarters still remains. Since then, we’ve expanded to include other facilities in the states where we manufacture a variety of American-made products.
What size micrometers can be purchased?
Different types of micrometers have measuring ranges of between 25mm and 1 inch. This translates to the incremental metric measurements of 0-25mm, 25-50mm, 50-75mm and so on.
What is the reading of the outside micrometer 50 to 75mm?
The zero reading (minimum range) of the outside micrometer while measuring with a 50 to 75 mm micrometer is 50 mm.
What are disc micrometers used for?
A disc micrometer is great for spreading out the measuring force applied on soft materials like plastics and foam. You can also use a disc micrometer to measure hard to reach features like the base tangent length of gear teeth.
