välismikromeetriga

Välismikromeeteriga refers to the use of an external micrometer, a precision measuring instrument. It is commonly used in engineering and manufacturing to measure the external dimensions of objects with high accuracy. The instrument typically consists of a C-shaped frame, a movable spindle, and a graduated scale. The spindle is advanced towards a fixed anvil by turning a thimble, which is connected to a screw mechanism. The precise movement of the thimble allows for very fine adjustments, enabling measurements to be taken to within a few micrometers.

The measurement is read by observing the position of the thimble against the sleeve, which is marked with a scale. The sleeve usually has main divisions, and the thimble has smaller divisions that indicate fractions of a millimeter or inch. To take a measurement, the object to be measured is placed between the anvil and the spindle. The thimble is rotated until the spindle just touches the object, applying a consistent measuring force. This force is often regulated by a ratchet mechanism on the thimble to prevent overtightening.

The accuracy of a välismikromeetriga reading depends on the quality of the instrument, the skill of the user, and the environmental conditions. Calibration is crucial for ensuring reliable measurements. External micrometers are essential tools for quality control, precision machining, and scientific research where dimensional accuracy is paramount. They are used to measure diameters of shafts, thicknesses of plates, and other external features of manufactured parts.
