1 PURPOSE
The purpose of this document is used to provide general procedure for calibration of
Outside Micrometer

2 SCOPE
This procedure is applicable for Outside Micrometer.

3 MEASURAND
The measurand described in this procedure is the length indicated by the scale of
the micrometer.

4 STANDARD INSTRUMENT

Instrument Name: Model/Maker s/no

(4.1) Gauge Block Grade 0 Mitutoyo 0705786

(4.2) Optical Flat Mitutoyo
(4.3) Optical Parallel Mitutoyo

5 CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
Micrometer is a measuring instrument that uses graduated screw mechanism to
produce precise linear displacement of a spindle along its axis. The components of
micrometer are anvil (fix measuring surface), spindle (measuring surface), sleeve,
thimble and ratchet. It also consist frame, clamp, adjusting nut and spring.
