First calibrate the micrometer by dialing the spindle to zero and adjusting the anvil until it is flush against the spindle. Measure the screw until the ratchet begins to click and take the first reading. This reading can then be compared to a machining book to verify the pitch diameter.
pitch = 1/Threads per Inch So for a 1/2 - 20 thread the pitch is .1
when lead of the screw is equal to the pitch it is called single threaded screw
the pitch is the inverse of the the thread count per inch, or the distance between each thraed pitch = 1/N so for a tap of 32 threads per inch pitch is 1/32 = 0.03125 inch
Hi, heres how you calculate least count of a micrometer. Use the given formula: Least Count (L. C) = Pitch/no. of divisions on micrometer barrel(thimble) where, Pitch = distance travelled by thimble on linear scale in one rotation. Hi, heres how you calculate least count of a micrometer.
