The following key questions are answered in this module:
What is a micrometer? A micrometer is a device that is capable of accurately measuring the distance between two points within one ten-thousandth of an inch.
What are calipers used for? Calipers are used to measure an object's dimensions, similar to micrometers. Calipers are less accurate than micrometers, but they are more versatile.
What are dial indicators used for? Dial indicators are used for relative measurements. They amplify small distance or angle measurements to make it easy to quantify.
What are feeler gauges used for? Feeler, or thickness, gauges are used to measure small gaps, such as the clearance between two parts.
What are gauge blocks used for? Gauge blocks are metal or ceramic blocks that have been precision ground to a specific thickness. They can be used as standards to calibrate precision measuring tools.
