What are the standards used in calibration of micrometer?

The standard used in calibrating measuring gages must possess an accuracy greater than a 4:1 ratio over the accuracy of the gage being calibrated. The accuracy of a gage block is typically ±0.000002 inch, and the accuracy of a micrometer is typically ±0.0001 inch.

How often should micrometers be calibrated?

You may want to start them out at every 3 months and see how they do. If you notice that they are constantly having problems then you may want to change it to monthly. On the other hand if you notice that they are staying in good condition then you can bump the cycle out to 6 months.

How do you calibrate a manual micrometer?

Insert the setting bar between the measuring faces. Gently turn the thimble until you feel the ratchet click. Locate the spanner with the hole in the back of the sleeve, and gently turn the sleeve until the sleeve index and thimble zero are aligned. The Micrometer is now calibrated.

When do you need to calibrate a Starrett micrometer?

Calibrating your Starrett micrometer is essential when you are working on very precise parts in a machine shop. Tolerances are very small and note the maximum deviation allowed from the measurements on a blueprint.
