40 threads per inch. The thimble has 25 divisions. Every 1 turn moves the spindle .025 and .025 x 40 = 1.000 .

It depends on the screw thread pitch (or "lead") in the heart of the micrometer. Typically, screw pitches in common hand-held micrometers are 40 per inch in an Imperial micrometer or 2 per millimetre in a Metric micrometer. Thus, one full turn of the thimble of an Imperial micrometer is 1/40th of an inch (25 thousandths of an inch or "25 thou") and similarly, one full turn of the thimble of a Metric micrometer is 1/2 a millimetre (500 micrometres).
In order to read a micrometer, you will use the numbers on the thimble and on the sleeve. The numbers on the sleeve are broken down into 4 parts. Think of them as dollars with whole numbers and quarters. The numbers on the thimble can be represented as pennies, or ones. If the sleeve is at 9 3/4 and the thimble is at 4, the reading would be .979.

All you need to do is make contact. Tightening will give you a false reading and eventually damage the micrometer.
The knurling gives the fingers a better, non-slip grip.
Hi, heres how you calculate least count of a micrometer. Use the given formula: Least Count (L. C) = Pitch/no. of divisions on micrometer barrel(thimble) where, Pitch = distance travelled by thimble on linear scale in one rotation. Hi, heres how you calculate least count of a micrometer.

There is no standard weight for thimbles. The weight varies by the size and what the thimble is made of. They can be made of bone, metal, wood, ceramic and leather.
This is a tool that is used to measure the pitch diameter of a screw. This tool looks like a standard micrometer except that the anvils are specially configured to reach into the screw thread groove and touch the pitch diameter of the screw thread. The screw thread micrometer does not measure any other aspect of the screw thread. It does not measure the: pitch; threads-per-inch; major diameter; minor diameter; flank angles; lead; helix angle.
This micrometer has zero error.The zero marking on the thimble is below the datum line. So this micrometerhas a positive zero error.In this case we will take the reading on the thimble.Thimble reading = 0.03 mmSo the micrometer has a zero error of +0.03 mm.Whatever reading we take on this micrometer we would have to subtract +0.03 mmThe zero marking on the thimble is above the datum line. So this micrometerhas a negative zero error.In this case we will have to count the number of divisions on the thimble between the zero marking and the datum line.No. of divisions = 3Measurement of each division = 0.01mmSo the micrometer has a zero error of -0.03 mm.Whatever reading we take on this micrometer we would have to subtract -0.03 mm
