2. Click for detail information Definition:
A screw gauge is a
precision measuring instrument used to measure small distances or thicknesses. Construction: It consists of a screw, barrel, anvil, jaw,
thimble, and sleeve. Least Count: The smallest
measurement possible, calculated by dividing the pitch by the number of threads
per rotation (usually 0.01 mm). Working
Principle: The rotating screw moves the jaw along the
barrel, and the measurement is based on the pitch and number of rotations. Method
of Use: Calibrate the screw gauge Place the object between the anvil and
jaw -Rotate the thimble until the object is
securely held -Read the measurement on the barrel and
thimble -Record the measurement in mm or inches Precautions: Handle with care to avoid damage Use correct technique to avoid parallax
error Calibrate regularly to ensure accuracy Applications: Screw gauges are used in mechanical
engineering, quality control, and scientific research to measure small
distances and thicknesses. 🌈 Mind map
