MTEL Business - Free Test Sample Questions

A screw gauge that measures small distances or thicknesses is known as which of the following?

Correct Answer:
micrometer.


the correct answer to the question is a "micrometer." a micrometer is a precision instrument that is specifically designed to measure small distances or thicknesses with high accuracy. it is often used in mechanical engineering, metalworking, and other fields where precise measurements are critical.

micrometers employ a calibrated screw mechanism for measurement. as the screw is tightened, it moves a spindle which in turn moves against the item being measured. the distance moved by the spindle is then read off a scale, which is calibrated in micrometers (one thousandth of a millimeter) or sometimes in thousandths of an inch.

there are several types of micrometers, each designed for specific types of measurements: 1. **outside micrometers**: these are used to measure the outside dimensions of objects, such as the diameter of a rod or the thickness of a block. 2. **inside micrometers**: these are used for measuring the inside dimensions, for example, the diameter of a hole or the width of a slot. 3. **depth micrometers**: these are used to measure the depth of holes or recesses.

the accuracy and reliability of a micrometer make it an indispensable tool in many fields where precise measurements are necessary. its ability to measure small distances with such precision makes it superior to tools like rulers or calipers in certain contexts.
