damaged. Damaged tools are
inaccurate.
Dont drop or mis-handle them.
Check them regularly for accuracy.
To measure accurately:
Handle measuring tools
correctly

Steel rules
Used for general measurements
Graduated in millimeters and
centimeters.
Care
Handle carefully.
The zero end of the rule must be
Kept in perfect condition to maintain
accuracy.

Generally measure to
an accuracy of 1 mm.
Some measure to an
accuracy of 0.5mm.
To measure length:
Place the end of the ruler flush with start of material.
Look at exact place on rule where material ends.
Read length on ruler scale.

More micrometers
Vernier micrometer
has an extra vernier scale on the
sleeve
can measure down to 0.001mm
(1/1000 of a millimetre).
Digital micrometer
has a display which shows the
measurement
may have a conventional scale as well.

Check accuracy
Gently close micrometer with
ratchet until anvils are touching
or use a test piece.
Look at the scales - they should
both read zero.
