What is a Depth Micrometer?
Depth Micrometer is a precision tool used to measure the depth of slots, holes, or other recessed areas with high accuracy. It looks similar to a standard micrometer but is specifically designed for measuring depth instead of diameters or lengths.
Uses of Depth Micrometers
Depth Micrometers are widely used in industries where accurate depth measurements are crucial, such as machining, drilling, and production processes.
Key Features of Depth Micrometers
- High precision Capable of measuring depth to a micrometer level.
- Stable base The base sits on the surface being measured to ensure accurate readings.
- Fine spindle and scale The spindle and finely marked scale allow for precise depth adjustments.
How to Use
1. Place the micrometer’s base on the surface of the object.
2. Rotate the spindle down until it touches the bottom of the recessed area.
3. Read the depth measurement from the scale on the spindle.
Benefits
- High accuracy Ideal for tasks requiring precise measurements.
- Ease of use Designed to be user-friendly.
- Suited for deep measurements Perfect for reaching areas that other measuring tools cannot access.
