Reading a Micrometer

• Observe the greatest 0.100-inch division on the barrel scale.

• Observe the number of 0.025-inch divisions on the barrel scale.

• Add the thimble scale reading (0.001-inch division) that coincides with the horizontal line on the barrel scale.

• Observe the greatest 0.100-inch division on the barrel scale. (three 0.100” = 0.300”)
