A meter rule is appropriate for length as it can measure up to unlimited length while micrometer is suitable for diameter since it has a high degree of accuracy to small diameters in millimeters.

∙ 12y agoRule is an instrumement to measure lengths of some meters or more; the accuracy is not in the range of millimeters.
To measure small diameters of wires (under 1 mm up to 3 mm) you need a more precise instrument as a micrometer screw gauge or a fine caliper.

∙ 14y agoThe micrometer is more accurate because it can measure upto a millionth of a meter. Its least count is 1mm/100. Hence it can give more accurate readings compared to a vernier caliper.
A micrometer is used to measure very small distances.
There are 2 things that can be called a micrometer:1/ A device for measuring short distances accurately. Typically to better than 1 thousands of an inch (thou) or 0.01mm. They look a bit like a small G clamp, something is placed between the jaws and it is lightly tightened, the thread has a gauge on it so you can see how big the thing between the jaws is.2/ A very small distance, 1 millionth of a meter. Also written μm. (Or sometimes um.)Additional InformationThe above answer needs to be qualified. In fact, the above answer only applies to American English. In British English,1. A micrometer is an instrument for measuring small thicknesses or diameters, as per answer 1, above.2. The unit of measure is called a micrometre.In other words, in British English, a meter is a measuring instrument, whereas a metre is a unit of measurement.
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.

No, an ocular micrometer is used for measuring objects viewed through a microscope by comparing them to a scale etched onto the eyepiece. It is not designed to measure the diameter of a field of view.
*Micrometer have a rotary handle and whereas vernier have a slider. *Micrometer is for measuring diameters while vernier is for measuring inside & outside diameter as well as depth. *Least Count of Vernier Caliper is 0.02mm *Least Count of Micrometer is 0.01mm
You could use a simple ruler, or a micrometer for greater accuracy.
The micrometer is a precise measuring tool used in laboratories to accurately determine the thickness or diameter of small objects.
Yes, a micrometer typically offers higher precision compared to a vernier caliper, making it better suited for measuring the diameter of small objects like rods with greater accuracy. If the diameter measurement requires a high level of precision, using a micrometer would be a preferred choice.
A micrometer or a caliper would typically be used to accurately measure the diameter of a crankshaft journal. Both tools are precise and can provide a reliable measurement of the diameter.
The size of most of the bacteria is between 4 to 10 micrometer. So the diameter of this rod shaped bacteria should be 4 micrometer and length is about 10 micrometer.
0.5-1 micrometer
Yes, a calibrated ocular micrometer can be used to measure the diameter or length of a field or object. Essentially, that is all that it is used for.
