STANDARD BLADE MICROMETERS
PRECISION Thickness MEASURING
Mechanical Blade Micrometers are precision measuring tools that are used to measure the thickness of thin materials such as paper, plastics, and textiles. They are commonly used in the printing, packaging, and paper industries, as well as in research and development laboratories.
A Mechanical Blade Micrometer consists of a frame, an anvil, a spindle, a thimble, and a measuring blade. The anvil is fixed to the frame, while the spindle is movable and threaded. The measuring blade is attached to the spindle and is used to measure the thickness of the material being measured.
The spindle is rotated using the thimble, which moves the spindle towards or away from the anvil, allowing the user to measure the thickness of the material between the measuring blade and the anvil. The measuring scale is located on the thimble and is used to read the measurement result. The scale typically has markings indicating the thickness of the material being measured in micrometers or thousandths of an inch.
Mechanical Blade Micrometers are available in various types and sizes, including standard blade micrometers and vernier blade micrometers. Standard blade micrometers provide accurate measurements, while vernier blade micrometers provide even greater accuracy by using a secondary scale to measure the distance between the anvil and the measuring blade.
Overall, Mechanical Blade Micrometers are highly precise and accurate measuring tools that are essential in many industries. They provide accurate measurements of thin materials, making them a valuable tool for quality control and research and development.
