CHAPTER ONE
What is metrology?
Metrology is a word derived from two Greek words;
Metro: Measurement
Logy: science
Therefore, it can be defined as a science of measurement.
Dividers are very useful for laying out several equal distances or transferring a
distance measurement when other measuring devices cannot be used.
Vernier calipers
Vernier calipers are precision tools used to make accurate
measurements to within 0.001 in. or 0.02mm depending on
whether they are inch or metric vernier calipers.

Vernier micrometer
The inch vernier micrometer has, in addition to the graduations
found on a standard micrometer, a vernier scale on the sleeve.
This vernier scale consists of a 10 division that run parallel to
and above the index line. These 10 divisions on the sleeve
occupy the same distance as 9 division on the thimble. One
division on the vernier scale,therefore,represents 1/10*0.009,or
0.0009in.
Since one graduation on thimble represents 0.001 or 0.001in.,the
difference between one thimble division and one vernier scale
division represents 0.0010-0.0009,or 0.0001.Therefore,each
division on the vernier scale has a value of 0.0001in.

NOTE: the numbers on the thimble and the sleeve are the
reverse of those on a standard micrometer.

The round (rod) anvil is used to measure the wall thickness of tubing
and cylinders and for measuring from a hole to an edge.
The flat anvil is used to measure the distance from the inside of slots
and grooves to an edge.
