This British Standard relates to micrometer heads having measuring ranges of:

  1. ½ in.
  2. 1 in.
  3. 13 mm.
  4. 25 mm.

It applies to micrometer heads with rotatable spindles and with non-rotatable spindles, classed according to the following ranges of thimble diameter (dia. D, Figure 1):—

Type 1 Below 1 in. thimble diameter.

Type 2 1 in. and below 2 in. thimble diameter.

Type 3 2 in. thimble diameter and over.

NOTE Micrometer heads of the larger types with non-rotatable spindles may be supplied to special orders with dimensions approximately similar to those given in Table 2 and to an accuracy similar to that shown in Table 4
