Flashcards

Outside Micrometer

Tool used to measure the outside diameter of objects, including its thickness and width.

Inside Micrometer

A measuring tool used to determine the interior distance between two points, for example, the inner diameter of a cylinder.

Depth Micrometer

This tool measures how far something can move or extend, like the distance a piston travels inside a cylinder.

Telescoping Gauge

A measuring tool that uses spring-loaded plungers to measure distances in tight or awkward spaces.

Study Notes

Stainless Steel Rulers and Micrometers

Stainless steel rulers come in various sizes (12, 24, 36 inches)
They are strong and resistant to damage
Micrometers measure in both millimeters and inches
Measure to 1/1000th of an inch or a millimeter

Types of Micrometers

Outside micrometers measure the outside dimensions of an item
Inside micrometers measure the inside dimensions of an item
Depth micrometers measure the depth of an item

Telescoping Gauges

Used for measuring distances in awkward areas, like the bottom of deep cylinders
Uses spring-loaded plungers that can be unlocked
Can slide out to touch cylinder walls

Split Ball Gauges

Good for measuring small holes
Similar mechanism to telescoping gauges

Football Gauges

Ideal for measuring valve guides and cylinder heads' inside diameters

Dial-Board Gauges

Used to measure bores with high accuracy
Measures diameter changes due to wear, taper, or out-of-roundness
Accuracy is based on manufacturer's specifications
Resolution typically 1/10,000th of an inch or 1/100th of a millimeter
