A micrometer screw gauge is commonly known as a micrometer. This is a form of calipers used for measuring small dimensions. Screw gauge in extensively used in the engineering field for obtaining precision measurements. The article describes the principle and main parts of a basic micrometer screw gauge.

the first tool is the micrometer screw gauge used to measure diameter of holes, other tools in the picture are also used to take small measurements..they fall in the same category of the micrometer screw gauge.

Micrometer screw-gauge is another instrument used for measuring accurately the diameter of a thin wire or the thickness of a sheet of metal. Pitch of the screw is the distance moved by the spindle per revolution.When the anvil and spindle end are brought in contact, the edge of the circular scale should be at the zero of the sleeve (linear scale) and the zero of the circular scale should be opposite to the datum line of the sleeve. If the zero is not coinciding with the datum line, there will be a positive or negative zero erro.

Step 1: Retract the screw gauge slightly more the object you are measuring.

2: Slip the screw gauge into or around the object you are measuring, depending on the type of gauge you are using.

3: Advance the screw gauge just until the object will not slip. Do not over tighten.

4: Lock the gauge in place. Most micrometers will have either a thumb wheel or

thumb lever locking mechanism on the handle.

5: Remove the micrometer and read the measurement.

It is a gauge which has a fine threaded movement so that small distances can be measured, with a vernier scale which allows measurement down to thousandths of an inch.

Because the amount depends on the screw bolt and screw each step is smaller than a micrometer accuracy.

What would happen if the micrometer screw gauge was not reset back from the end of the bar?

In an Experiment to determine the linear expansion of copper, a micrometer screw gauge is one of the apparatus used, and it's usually fixed at the end of the metal rod. Now the reason why the micrometer screw gauge should always be reset back from the end of the bar is to avoid the heating of the micrometer screw gauge which would expand it,hence giving inaccurate measurements when taking the change in length of the rod. Since the experiment is all about linear expansion,it involves heat also. This heat is the one that would heat the rod and after the heat would be uniformly conducted throughout the bar,it would also heat the micrometer screw gauge at the end. This is the reason why it should be reset back from the end of the rod(to avoid it's heating)
