Micrometer Screw gauge

There are different measurement devices to determine the volume and mass of solid objects.Using the mass various characteristics like the effects of gravitational force on an object , can be determined.

Micrometer Screw gauge is basically a measurement device. It measure the cross-diameter for solid objects so that the volume and mass of the object can be determined.

The main parts of a screw gauge are:

• Anvil
• Spindle
• Sleeve
• Thimble
• Ratchet

The gauge can be adjusted according to the size of the object and the diameter is calculated using the formula.

The advantage of using the Micrometer screw gauge is that is gives accurate values. It has a 'zero-error' reading which makes it useful for accurate calculations.
