My teacher tried to explain this to me like 10 times in MY OWN LANGUAGE,and I couldn't understand. Now you explained it in English and I completely understand. Thank you so much
Thank God for your video Sir! I was having a hard time understanding the methods of reading the micrometer from the ppt presentations I searched then I decided to watch it here in TH-cam.
The last picture (example) should read 17.37mm and not 16.87mm. This is with the assumption that there is "no offset" from the beginning. I actually do not think that the "division mark is barely visible" as explained by motoprof1441. For a good working micrometer, you shouldn't be able to see the 17th division mark on the main scale at all. Therefore, the concept of "offset" must be taken into consideration for compensation based on the condition of the micrometer.
Thank you for you video.It is a little awkward that the USA still complies with the English system.The whole rest of the world utilizes the metric system fortunately.
Very good video - explains how to use a micrometer quickly and clearly. Very useful for a-level exam practicals ecspecially when your teacher doesn't decide to explain how to use one.
Today our physics teacher tried to explai how to use this micrometer for about 20 minutes and i din't got it.now it took only 2 minutes to understand ;) thanks
Thank you very much i have seen vidros with inches and since i live in europe we use mm.You just saved me from getting an F in reading a micrometer , thank you a lot.
@HorusFlint every two revolutions of the thimble (0-0 and then 0-0 again) moves the thimble up the sleeve 1mm. Because the thimble is resting on the 17mm mark but has not reached the 0 yet on the thimble it means that it has not quite reached 17mm yet.
Just to expend the explanation a little, at 2:40, the reading of "15 and 56 hundredths of a millimetre" consists of 15 whole millimetres, 5 tenths of a millimetre, and 6 one hundredths of a millimetre, and would be spoken or written down as 15.56 millimetres. At 3:03, because there are less than 10 hundredths of a millimetre, after the whole number, a zero is placed after the decimal point, making it 11.08 millimetres.
@@shwethasrinivas4765 it's a rule, u have to go with it. If u watch other tutorial videos on metric micrometer, You'll see that part similar but different sleeve reading.
Just saying, most of the time you will get a micrometer with the sleeve going a different way, it's the same way of measuring, just that it may be confusing to some people who have never used a micrometer before.
You can't count the 17mm line even though it is barely showing since the thimble has not come around to the zero yet. Start back at 3.39 and this will explain it.
Some people just cannot read a conventional micrometer. I know because in the 1970s there was a bloke who needed a better job than digging the odd grave every now and then. There was a vacancy in Acton London for a Machine Loader at Evershed & Vignoles. The job entailed loading metal bars into a CNC lathe but one HAD to be able to read a micrometer! After three nights of tuition at the pub he still couldn't do it! Later the bloke had another attempt at getting a good job. He thought that he could be a motor mechanic at Mercedes Brentford (the #1 branch in the UK). When we asked him how he had got on he said that he had been caught out by a trick question "The foreman asked me how I would tune twin carburettors and I said that I would take them off and do them one at a time."
By zero I assume you are talking about the micrometer not actually being at zero when it is all the way in. A good point that I didn't include in this video, but did in my Reading a Standard Micrometer video. I adjust it before using the mic so I don't have to calculate anything.
The last measurement was wrong it is 17.37 mm not 16.87 mm as lower line is showing 17 and 5 length are not showing after on the thimble it is .37mm so 17+.37mm =17.37mm correct me if I am wrong
You can't count the 17mm line even though it is barely showing since the thimble has not come around to the zero yet. Start back at 3.39 and this will explain it. The angle on the camera could of been better.
michael lee ya its physically 16. 87 and showing as 17.37,but if we calculate through above line ,it doesn't reach 17mm,some mistake in below line maybe
@@bejoyvarghese1766 If it were really 17.37, then there would be a clearly visible space to the right of the 17mm line. As it is, the thimble hasn't even fully cleared the 17mm line. Hence 16.87 is correct.
@subhamdey @subhamdey hey subhamdey to calculate zero error touch the ends of the micrometer i mean the spindle and the other end and then see whether both the zero marks of both the scales match.If not then the mark of the circular scale which meets the zero mark of the main scale multiplied by the least count is the zero error.This zero error is to be added to ur final answer.
@wastUGawkinAt- Great name. The anvil on larger micrometers will not touch, but should be able to move at least an inch. It sounds like yours is broken and should be replaced.
Your micrometer probably needs a slight tweak. There should be an adjustment to move the thimble or the sleeve so that when the mic is closed and zeroed, the thimble will split the 0 graduation. This way as you get further out, the slight inaccuracies of the graduations (if any) will not be as problematic. In a way, the slight misalignment was helpful because it gave you an opportunity to explain that you have to "look for zero" to really tell what is going on when the thimble is near or on the line. Also, your diagram in the beginning was not pointing at the anvil, it was pointing at the frame. All that being said, this was a well made and informative video. Good job.
Hi, I really liked yoour video, it was very useful. I just have one problem: what if none of the lines on the thimble line up with those on the sleeve?
I think it's the camera angle. If you looked at it straight on (which the camera did not), the 17mm line was just barely visible. When this happens, you must look at the thimble reading to see if the zero has come around. If not, don't count it. If on, or over zero, count it. I hope this clarifies things better.

Same here boi
same
Totally awesome 👏
All these years i couldn't figure out how to use the micrometer but its so easy, god bless you Sir.
My thoughts exactly!
Thank you for the video. It's simple, short and straight-forward.
thank you this will help me pass my machining test today much appreciated!
Thank God for your video Sir!
I was having a hard time understanding the methods of reading the micrometer from the ppt presentations I searched then I decided to watch it here in TH-cam.
i passed my trade test thanks to you guys, greetings from south africa
+Tourieq Van Der Sckyff That's great news. I'm glad my video helped you succeed in class and good luck with your education.
Love the video. And still helpful even in 2019!
Great video. Pictures and accompanying explanations are very effective, and an time-efficient way to teach. I got a lot out of this video.
The Best Video that teaches about on how getting the measurements using a Micrometer. Good Job!
THANK YOU, I was confused the whole time during physics lab the other day

Yeah this tripped me out I thought I was reading it wrong
I also read 17.37 mm. 'Cause It already passes 17 mm.
I also read 17,37.
Thank you! I have used your video in my hand tools class!
wow this was super helpful as it was not taught to us how to use a metric micrometer. thank you so much!! lifesaver
great explanation, my teachers could barely explain it well enough for me to understand
Hi, great video this the clearest video I have ever seen
Thanks.
remember this comment you made 6 years ago

I am very thankful for this useful video, its simple and clear yet really useful.
i see 17.37 for the last one, anybody else?
jesse g. No. The thimble hasn’t come around yet, so is still counting up from 16.5
@@gabehintzsche2064 No. 17.37
17.37 even though it's wrong, ima still go with it
it is 17.37 is the correct answer what do u people think
@@shwethasrinivas4765 it's a rule, u have to go with it. If u watch other tutorial videos on metric micrometer, You'll see that part similar but different sleeve reading.

Thank you very much mate that was very helpful I could understood when my teacher explain but know I understand thanks buddy
this was way simple to understand than the indian version. don't know why they make it sound so complicated. (im indian)
Very clearly illustrated.Great.
@Thatguywiththoseguys it measures to hundredths of a millimeter, which is actually 1 micrometer.
super now i clear got how its works and how to measure
thank u very much
Thanks for posting i was never sure how to read one of these, not hard at all, cheers.
thank you very much this video will help me for tomorrow's quiz

The reading should be 17.370 since it did not cross the 17.50 mark to be read as 17.87.
+Ronald Chand I'm right....and so are you. The picture angle is misleading.
i see it as 17.37 myself
michael lee ya its physically 16. 87 and showing as 17.37,but if we calculate through above line ,it doesn't reach 17mm,some mistake in below line maybe
It's the angle of the camera. It's been a hot topic since I first posted the video and has been debated in the comments below. Thanks for watching.

thanx 4 uploading this video its very helpful 4 me
Excellent post. Thank you for sharing...
Thanks so much on this helped me alot before an getting an F from this
Right on... needed this!
Thankyou it really teaches alot.
4:04 total reading is 17.37mm, not 16.87mm.
Bravo sir! Excellent video!

how to read 3rd number after dot? it only read 0.00? not 0.000?
very nice
perfect description
Thanks that was very helpful
Thanks a lot.

this lot helped me
You save my life!! thx
From time mark 3.33 I see it as a measurement of 17.37 not 16.87. Am i wrong?
Check my past comment below. Thanks for watching.
I understood all the sizes.
Thank you very much......!!!!!
thanx for this vedio
this was a great video
Thanks alot its very clear
The first vedio which can be seen claerly
this is was very helpful
very useful thanks
great video
Shprt and useful 👍👍👍
Thanks bro
Would anyone clarify "Why 17mm can not be counted?" although it is seen in frame 3:36 to 3:42
I think it's the camera angle. If you looked at it straight on (which the camera did not), the 17mm line was just barely visible. When this happens, you must look at the thimble reading to see if the zero has come around. If not, don't count it. If on, or over zero, count it. I hope this clarifies things better.
Bharana Boyagama this "micrometer" has been dropped.
thanks for the help.....
it's very helpful
thanks a lot! going to need it tmr! :D
thank you soo much!!!
thank you
thnx
(cont.)this zero mark is to be added to the final answer that u get.
good ... now its clear at last ^_^
terima kasih.
so helpful!!!!!!!!!
great...
Thanks!
