RS PRO Metric & Imperial Caliper and Micrometer Measuring Set UKAS Model No 2436841

RS PRO Metric & Imperial Caliper and Micrometer Measuring Set UKAS Model No 2436841 is a precision tool kit used for accurate and precise measurements of various objects, components, and parts. It includes two primary measuring instruments: calipers and micrometers, each offering distinct advantages and functionalities.

Caliper: A caliper is a versatile measuring tool designed to measure the distance between two opposite sides of an object with high accuracy. It consists of two arms, one fixed and the other movable, connected by a sliding mechanism. The movable arm can be adjusted along a calibrated scale, allowing precise measurements to be taken. There are two main types of calipers:

Vernier Caliper: A traditional caliper with a main scale and a vernier scale that provides precise readings up to a fraction of a millimeter or inch. It is ideal for measuring lengths, outer diameters, inner diameters, and depths.

Digital Caliper: An electronic caliper equipped with a digital display for easy and quick readings. It offers the same measurement capabilities as the vernier caliper but with added convenience and readability.

Micrometer: A micrometer, also known as a micrometer screw gauge, is a specialized tool used for precise measurements of small dimensions. It consists of a calibrated screw and a spindle that move together, allowing precise readings on a graduated scale. Micrometers are available in various types:

Outside Micrometer: Used to measure the outer dimensions of objects, such as diameters and thicknesses.

Inside Micrometer: Designed to measure internal dimensions, such as the inner diameter of holes or bores.

Depth Micrometer: Used to measure the depth of holes, slots, and recesses.

A caliper and micrometer measuring set provides a comprehensive solution for a wide range of measurement needs, offering accuracy, repeatability, and versatility. These measuring instruments are widely used in various industries, including manufacturing, engineering, automotive, aerospace, and research laboratories.

The set is essential for quality control, dimensional inspection, and precision machining, ensuring that components meet specific tolerances and fit together correctly. Proper handling, calibration, and maintenance of these instruments are essential to maintain their accuracy and prolong their lifespan. Calipers and micrometers are indispensable tools for professionals and technicians who require precise measurements for critical applications.
