Hey ES, good to see you again. To read a micrometer, you combine the readings from the main scale (sleeve) and the thimble scale. Step 1: Read the main scale (sleeve) in millimeters. The main scale shows markings in millimeters (above the line) and half-millimeters (below the line). The edge of the thimble has passed the 4 mm mark and also the 0.5 mm mark after the 4 mm mark. Main scale reading = 4.5 mm Step 2: Read the thimble scale. The thimble scale has divisions, where each division represents 0.01 mm. The line on the thimble that aligns with the main line on the sleeve is the 22^nd division. Thimble scale reading = 22 × 0.01 mm = 0.22 mm Step 3: Calculate the total measurement. Add the main scale reading and the thimble scale reading. Total measurement = Main scale reading + Thimble scale reading Total measurement = 4.5 mm + 0.22 mm = 4.72 mm The measurement shown on the micrometer is 4.72 mm. Send me the next one 📸
