This British Standard relates to micrometer heads having measuring ranges of:
- ½ in.
- 1 in.
- 13 mm.
- 25 mm.
It applies to micrometer heads with rotatable spindles and with non-rotatable spindles, classed according to the following ranges of thimble diameter (dia. D, Figure 1):—
Type 1 Below 1 in. thimble diameter.
Type 2 1 in. and below 2 in. thimble diameter.
Type 3 2 in. thimble diameter and over.
NOTE Micrometer heads of the larger types with non-rotatable spindles may be supplied to special orders with dimensions approximately similar to those given in Table 2 and to an accuracy similar to that shown in Table 4
