How to Use a Micrometer

We show you how to use a simple analog micrometer to very precisely measure small lengths.

SUPER USEFUL!!! The textbook had barely any details on how to actually use the micrometer, and you showed it in such a clear and logical sequence (with epic music in the background, too). Thank you <33

exactly what i needed, great video! Got my Physics P3 A levels tomorrow and i realised last min that i dont know how to youse a micro meter. Bigtime thanks!

This makes wanna fight some invaders
with a micrometer

My practical are tomorrow and I'm watching this at 12pm at night. For someone who has exam tomorrow, this doesn't seem like a good time to be awake. Good luck to all those night owls who stay up late and get up early with no energy drain. I do.

Thank you. Exactly what I needed, no more, no less. Mainly wasn't sure what the ratchet was for, but a confirmation on reading the dial was great as well, thanks again.

1- Very Helpful
2- What a wonderful music!! Love it

Also, never touch the spindle. The heat of your hands makes the spindle expand, making your reading inaccurate.

learnt to use a micrometer. Now just back for the song! What is it?

At 0:29, do you mean sleeve instead of barrel?

[kelvingervacio]

Good afternoon. I would like to request permission to use your video for our final project. Thank you

[laneyblenkin]

This helps very much thank you!! But where did you get the .105 from?

[guitarswift]

My AS practicals are tmr and only now I'm watching this Hahahah it's already 10pm

[Takemehome]

Okay so I got the first measure of 12 right but I’m confused on the second measurement. What’s the sleeve line? I don’t understand where ya got 0.105 mm from?

[dimondc]

This really helped! Now I know how to use a Micrometer for school

[skycouncil]

Loved you're simple but clear explanation!... thank you very much! :D

[samstephens]

very helpful, music really puts you in a measuring mood

[mcf]

Great video!

But I think where I'm still confused is the ratchet. How do you know how many times you should turn the ratchet when measuring?

[sherazkhan]

Isn't the screw gauge precise to the second decimal point in millimeters ??? Then how come it is 12.105 mm ?

[thomashverring]

Perfect video (the music adds the final point to a 10/10!).

[chrischen]

Thank you for your video, just one question. In the video, the length you measured is 12.105mm, but on your micrometer, it says "0.01mm" which means that the smallest scale should be 0.01mm, so I thought the 0.005mm should not be included in the length and it should be measured as 12.10mm?
