Complete step-by-step answer: The three uses of a screw gauge are written following: 1) It is used to measure the diameter of circular objects mostly wires with an accuracy of 0.001cm. 2) It can be used to measure the diameter of a wire. 3) Also, it can be used to measure thickness of a paper. Why screw gauge is called micrometer? Why is screw gauge called a micrometer? Screw gauge is also called a micrometre because it can measure the lengths of the order of 1 micro meter. What is the principle of screw gauge? The screw gauge works on the principle of movement. When the screw is rotated, there is a linear motion on the main scale of the screw gauge. This measurement is used to calculate small lengths. The distance moved by the spindle per rotation is known as pitch. What ratchet means? Ratchet is a slang term that can mean “...

Explanation: A micrometre is a precision instrument used to measure a job, generally within an accuracy of 0.01 mm. Micrometres used to take the outside measurements are known as outside micrometres. The ratchet stop ensures uniform pressure between the measuring surfaces. The parts of a micrometre are listed here. • Frame:The frame is made of drop-forged steel or malleable cast iron. All other parts of the micrometre are attached to this. • Barrel/Sleeve:The barrel or sleeve is fixed to the frame. The datum line and graduations are marked on this. • Thimble:On the bevelled surface of the thimble also, the graduation is marked. The spindle is attached to this. • Spindle:One end of the spindle is the measuring face. The other end is threaded and passes through a nut. The threaded mechanism allows for the forward and backward movement of the spindle. • Anvil:The anvil is one of the measuring faces which is fitted on the micrometre frame. It is made of alloy steel and finished to a perfectly flat surface. • Spindle lock nut:The spindle lock nut is used to lock the spindle at the desired position. • Ratchet stop:The ratchet stop ensures uniform pressure between the measuring surfaces.
