16、.*A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this standardCopyright ASTM International, 100 Barr Harbor Drive, PO Box C700, West Conshohocken, PA 19428-2959. United States13.2 The definitions and procedures for measuring thickness characteristics of steel sheet products are provided so that

17、purchasersand suppliers have common definitions and measuring procedures for thickness measurements. The intention of these definitionsand measuring methods is not to provide dimensional specifications for thickness characteristics, but rather common proceduresfor quantifying thickness values. For d

18、etermining compliance with thickness specifications, references are provided to appropriateASTM standards.4. Apparatus4.1 Micrometers used for thickness measurement shall be constructed with anvils and spindles having minimum diameters of0.188 in. 4.80 mm. The tip of the anvil shall be flat or round

19、ed with a minimum radius of curvature of 0.10 in. 2.55 mm andthe tip of the spindle shall be flat. Micrometers with conical tips, rounded anvil with rounded spindle, pointed tips or any surfacethat may penetrate the surface of the item being measured shall not be used for thickness measurements of s

20、heet steels.Micrometers can be electronic digital, mechanical digital, or analog with vernier scale, as shown in Fig. 1(a), (b), and (c).4.2 Unlock the micrometer and if electronic digital, turn it on.4.3 Typical ways to hold/secure the micrometer are:4.3.1 Grasp the micrometer as shown in Fig. 2, w

21、ith the small finger placed in the frame of the micrometer for support. Thisallows the other hand to insert the sample for measuring after cleaning (see 4.4).4.3.2 Support the micrometer with a micrometer mount. This allows the other hand to insert the sample after cleaning (see 4.4).Inserting the s

22、ample with one hand while lightly clamping with the other hand, as shown in Fig. 3.4.4 Clean the micrometer tips at regular intervals. Place cleaning material, such as clean dry paper, lint free cloth, cardboardor fabric (not abrasive such as sandpaper) in between the anvil and spindle. Tighten the

23、micrometer until lightly snug. Pull thecleaning material until free of the micrometer. Repeat until the micrometer is clean. Usually once or twice is adequate.4.5 Close the micrometer by turning the friction thimble and zero out (reset) the micrometer in accordance with manufacturersinstructions. Fo

24、r mechanical vernier micrometers, adjust the barrel to read zero in accordance with manufacturers instructions, andas mechanical micrometers are sensitive to barrel adjustments, recalibrate in accordance with the manufacturers instructions.4.6 Measure material thickness by opening the micrometer wid

25、e enough so the sample can be placed between the anvil andspindle tip. Turn the friction thimble until there is no further movement of the spindle. Spin the friction thimble one further turnto secure the measurement. For electronic digital micrometers, read the viewing screen for the measurement. Fo

26、llow themanufacturers instructions for mechanical micrometers with or without vernier micrometer scales.4.7 Repeat measurements as required. Note that the micrometer readings are subject to the precision of the type of micrometerused.4.8 Recording Readings:4.8.1 If required on the sample, identify w

27、here the reading(s) was made using a circle, box, cross hairs, etc.4.8.2 In the measurement record of readings, use a traceable identification back to the sample or product that was measured.5. Calibration Checks5.1 It is common practice to calibrate micrometers on a regular basis in accordance with

28、 operational standards of each company.The micrometers must be calibrated to appropriate NIST or equivalent standards within the prescribed time limits. The maximumlength of time recommended between calibrations is one year.Electronic Digital Mechanical Digital Analog with Vernier Scale1Anvil 2Spind

Zero may be one ofthe reference measurements. Use NIST or equivalent t

30、raceable standards (test blocks) in increments of 0.050 in. that are withinthe thickness range of the product being measured. Example: To measure thin sheet such as 0.048 in., use zero and two standardsof 0.050000 in. 1.30 mm and 0.100000 in. 2.54 mm. Heavy thickness sheet such as 0.205 in., would u

31、se 0.200000 in 5.08 mm,0.250000 in. 6.35 mm, and 0.300000 in. 7.60 mm. If the micrometer readings of the standards (test blocks) are satisfactory, thedevice can be used to measure sheet steel with confidence.6. Proper Care of the Instrument6.1 Do not disassemble a digital micrometer.6.2 Store the mi

32、crometer at room temperature, typically 60 to 100F 16 to 38C. When measuring, let the micrometeracclimate to the ambient temperature of the sample. It is then appropriate to set the micrometer at zero.6.3 Keep the micrometer clean and in a clean environment.6.4 Keep micrometer away from liquids of a

33、ny kind.FIG. 2 Holding a MicometerFIG. 3 Mounted MicrometerA1073/A1073M 1736.5 Do not subject the micrometer to sudden shocks such as from dropping, or to excessive force during measuring.6.6 Wipe off dust, cutting chips, oil, and moisture from the micrometer after each use.6.7 When cleaning the mic

34、rometer, use a soft cloth using a neutral detergent. Do not use any organic solvent (thinner, etc.) asit may cause damage to the device.6.8 Do not use an electric marking pen or other such device on the micrometer.7. Accuracy Statement37.1 Accuracy of Electronic Digital Micrometers is 6 0.0003 in. 6

35、 0.008 mm.7.2 Accuracy of Vernier Micrometers is 6 0.0004 in. 6 0.010 mm.7.3 The accuracy statement was determined through statistical examination of four studies from 31 laboratories on steel samplesand NIST traceable standards.NOTE 1The studies used micrometers with resolutions of 0.0001 in. 0.002
