• okvir: The main body of the micrometer.
• Cylindrical Anvil: The fixed measuring face, specifically shaped for internal tube measurements.
• vreteno: The movable measuring face, which advances or retracts when the thimble is rotated.
• naprstak: The rotating part used to adjust the spindle, marked with graduations.
• rukav: The stationary part with the main scale (datum line and graduations).
• Ratchet Stop: Ensures constant and repeatable measuring force by slipping when the correct pressure is applied.
• Zaključaj Clamp: Used to secure the spindle in position after a measurement.

1. Raspakivanje: Carefully remove the micrometer from its protective case. Inspect for any visible damage.
2. čišćenje: Before first use, gently wipe all measuring surfaces with a clean, lint-free cloth. Avoid using harsh solvents.
3. Aklimatizacija na temperaturu: Allow the micrometer to acclimate to the ambient temperature of the measurement environment for at least 15-20 minutes to ensure accurate readings.
4. Podešavanje nule:
   • Close the measuring faces by rotating the thimble using the ratchet stop until it clicks 2-3 times.
   • Check if the zero line on the thimble aligns perfectly with the datum line on the sleeve.
   • If not aligned, use the supplied wrench to rotate the sleeve until the zero lines match. For micrometers with a lock clamp, ensure it is loosened before adjustment and tightened afterward.

4. Uputstvo za upotrebu

Follow these steps for accurate measurement of tube wall thickness:

1. Pripremite radni komad: Ensure the tubing to be measured is clean and free from burrs, oil, or debris that could affect accuracy.
2. Position the Micrometer:
   • Open the micrometer jaws slightly wider than the expected wall thickness.
   • Carefully insert the cylindrical anvil into the tube opening.
   • Position the flat measuring face of the spindle against the outer surface of the tube wall, and the cylindrical anvil against the inner surface of the tube wall.
3. Izmjerite:
   • Rotate the thimble using the ratchet stop until the spindle gently contacts the workpiece.
   • Continue rotating the ratchet stop until it clicks 2-3 times. This ensures a consistent measuring force.
   • Do not overtighten, as this can lead to inaccurate readings and potential damage to the micrometer or workpiece.
4. Pročitajte mjerenje:
   • Skala rukava: Read the largest visible whole number on the sleeve, which represents inches. Each major line represents 0.100 inch, and each minor line represents 0.025 inch.
   • Skala naprstka: Read the line on the thimble that aligns with the datum line on the sleeve. Each graduation on the thimble represents 0.001 inch.
   • Total Reading: Add the readings from the sleeve and the thimble to get the total measurement.
5. Lock the Spindle (Optional): If desired, use the lock clamp to secure the spindle position before removing the micrometer from the workpiece to prevent accidental changes to the reading.
6. Ponovite mjerenja: For critical applications, take multiple measurements at different points on the tube wall to ensure consistency and accuracy.

5. Održavanje

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and accuracy of your Mitutoyo Tube Micrometer.

• čišćenje: After each use, wipe the micrometer clean with a soft, lint-free cloth. For stubborn grime, a small amount of instrument cleaning fluid can be used, applied to the cloth, not directly to the micrometer.
• podmazivanje: Periodically apply a thin film of light machine oil to the spindle threads to ensure smooth operation and prevent corrosion. Avoid over-lubrication.
• Skladištenje: Store the micrometer in its original protective case when not in use. Keep it in a dry, temperature-controlled environment, away from direct sunlight, dust, and corrosive substances.
• kalibracija: Regular calibration by a qualified technician is recommended to maintain accuracy, especially for professional or critical applications.
• Rukovanje: Avoid dropping or subjecting the micrometer to impact, as this can damage its precision components.
