GRADUATED IN HUNDREDTHS OF A MILLIMETER (0.01MM)
• The main reading line (8) has a split graduation to 0.5mm, created by
the 1mm graduated vertical lines above and below the main reading line.
• The thimble (5) is divided also in fifty equal parts, with each line
representing 0.01mm and every fifth line being numbered from 0 to
50. To read the micrometer, add the number of millimeters and half-
millimeters visible on the sleeve (7) and the number of hundredths of a
millimeter indicated by the thimble. See the example:
