Standard Gage Three-Point Vernier Inside Micrometer, Inch

Description

The Standard Gage three-point vernier inside micrometer has three-point contacts for self-centering measurement of the inside dimension (ID) of bores and a vernier scale in inch units for making precise measurements. The micrometer includes an extension rod for access to deep bores, and a setting ring. The micrometer and accessories have a satin chrome rust- and glare-resistant finish. The contact faces are carbide-tipped for wear resistance. The vernier scale is graduated to 0.0001” or 0.0002” depending on the model. The micrometer and accessories come with a fitted case for storage.Micrometers are precision measuring instruments that use a calibrated screw to measure small distances. These measurements are translated into large rotations of the screw that are then able to be read from a scale or a dial. Micrometers are typically used in manufacturing, machining, and mechanical engineering. There are three types of micrometer: outside, inside, and depth. Outside micrometers may also be called micrometer calipers, and are used to measure the length, width, or outside diameter of an object. Inside micrometers are typically used to measure interior diameter, as in a hole. Depth micrometers measure the height, or depth, of any shape that has a step, groove, or slot.Standard Gage manufactures precision measuring equipment and metrology hand tools, and is a product line by Hexagon Metrology. Standard Gage is headquartered in North Kingstown, RI.
