Review of Australian Standards. To keep abreast of progress in industry, Australian Standards are subject
to periodic review and are kept up to date by the issue of amendments or new editi ons as necessary. It is
important therefore that Standards users ensure that they are in possession of the latest edit ion, and any
amendments thereto.
Full detail s of all Australian Standards and related publi cati ons wil l be found in the Standards Australi a
Catalogue of Publications; this information is supplemented each month by the magazine ‘The Australian
Standard’, which subscribing members receive, and which gives details of new publi cati ons, new editi ons
and amendments, and of withdrawn Standards.
Suggesti ons for improvements to Australi an Standards, addressed to the head offi ce of Standards Australi a,
are welcomed. Notif ication of any inaccuracy or ambiguit y found in an Australi an Standard should be made
without delay in order that the matter may be investigated and appropriate action taken.

This Standard was issued in draft form for comment as DR 88230.

PREFACE

This Standard was prepared by the Standards Australia Committee on

Engineering Tolerance Systems, Metrology and Surface Quality, to supersede
AS 2102—1978, External micrometers (metric series). It is identical with and
has been reproduced from ISO 3611—1978, Micrometer callipers for external
measurement.
For the purpose of the Australian Standard, the ISO text should be modified as
follows:
(a) Substitute a point (.) for a comma (,) as a decimal marker.
(b) Annex C, Clause C.2 Micrometer screw, fourth paragraph:
In the first sentence delete the word ‘about’ and substitute ‘above’.
(c) The cross-reference to other publications should be replaced by references
to Australian Standards:
Reference to International Standard Australian Standard

ations for using the instruments and testing their

accuracy are given in annexes.
This International Standard applies to micrometers
equipped with a screw having a lead of 0,5 or 1 mm,
having a maximum range of 25 mm covering capacities
up to 500 mm, and having non-removable anvils with
flat measuring faces.
NOTE — This International Standard does not apply to digital
reading micrometers but may be used tor indicating desirable
requir ements for such micrometers where appropriate.
3.1 For the nomenclature for micrometer callipers, see
figure 1.
3.2 error of measurement : The algebraical difference
between the indicated value and the true value of the
quantity measured.
3.3 deviation of traverse of the micrometer screw:
The maximum difference between the ordinates of the
curve for the deviation of the readings obtained along
the complete traverse of the screw.

NOTE — The illustr ation is diagrammatic only and is not intended to show details of design
