First calibrate the micrometer by dialing the spindle to zero and adjusting the anvil until it is flush against the spindle. Measure the screw until the ratchet begins to click and take the first reading. This reading can then be compared to a machining book to verify the pitch diameter.
The number is already in decimal form so why would you want to estimate it in decimal form???
A micrometer is equal to exactly 1 micrometer.
100 micrometer. = .1 millimeter = .0001 meter.
