Calibration (General Considerations for Care
34、 and Useof Each of the Various Pieces of Apparatus forDimensional Measurements)8.1 Good testing practices require clean anvil and presserfoot surfaces for any micrometer instrument. Prior to calibra-tion or dimensional measurements, clean such surfaces byinserting a piece of smooth, clean bond paper
35、 between the anviland presser foot and slowly moving the bond paper betweenthe surfaces. Check the zero setting frequently during measure-ments. Failure to repeat the zero setting may be evidence of dirton the surfaces.NOTE 2Avoid pulling any edge of the bond paper between thesurfaces to reduce the
36、probability of depositing any lint particles on thesurfaces.8.2 The parallelism requirements for machinists microm-eters demand that observed differences of readings on a pair ofscrew-thread-pitch wires or a pair of standard 6.4-mm nominaldiameter plug gauges be not greater than 2.5 m. Spring-wirest
37、ock or music-wire of known diameter are suitable substitutes.The wire (or the plug gauge) has a diameter dimension that isknown to be within 61 m. Diameter dimensions may vary byan amount approximately equal to the axial movement of thespindle when the wire (or the plug gauge) is rotated through180.
38、8.2.1 Lacking a detailed procedure supplied by the instru-ment manufacturer, confirm the parallelism requirements ofmachinists micrometers using the following procedure:8.2.1.1 Close the micrometer on the screw-thread-pitch wireor plug gauge according to the calibration procedure of 8.6.2 or8.6.3, a
39、s appropriate;8.2.1.2 Observe and record the thickness indicated;8.2.1.3 Move the screw-thread-pitch wire or plug gauge to adifferent position between the presser foot and anvil, and repeat8.2.1.1 and 8.2.1.2; and8.2.1.4 If the difference between any pair of readings isgreater than 2.5 m, the surfac
40、es are not parallel.8.3 Lacking a detailed procedure supplied by the instrumentmanufacturer, confirm the requirements for parallelism ofdial-type micrometers given in 6.3.1.2 by placing a hardenedsteel ball (such as that used in a ball bearing) of suitablediameter between the presser foot and anvil.
41、 Mount the ball ina fork-shaped holder to allow it to be moved conveniently fromone location to another between the presser foot and anvil. Theballs used commercially in ball bearings are almost perfectspheres having diameters constant within 0.2 m.NOTE 3Exercise care with this procedure. Calculatio
42、ns using theequations given in X1.3.2 show that the use of a 680 g mass weight on aball between the hardened surfaces of the presser foot and anvil can resultin dimples in the anvil or presser foot surfaces caused by exceeding theyield stress of the surfaces.8.3.1 Observe and record the diameter as
43、measured by themicrometer at one location.8.3.2 Move the ball to another location and repeat themeasurement.8.3.3 If the difference between any pair of readings isgreater than 2.5 m, the surfaces are not parallel.8.4 Lacking a detailed procedure supplied by the instrumentmanufacturer, confirm the fl
44、atness of the anvil and the spindlesurface of a micrometer or dial gauge by the use of an opticalflat that has clean surfaces. Surfaces shall be flat within 1 m.8.4.1 After cleaning the micrometer surfaces (see 8.1), placethe optical flat on the anvil and close the presser foot asdescribed in 8.6.2,
45、 8.6.3, 8.6.4,or8.6.5, as appropriate.8.4.2 When illuminated by diffused daylight, interferencebands are formed between the surfaces of the flat and those ofthe micrometer. The shape, location, and number of thesebands indicate the deviation from flatness in increments of halfthe average wavelengths
46、 of white light, which is taken as 0.25m.8.4.2.1 A flat surface forms straight parallel fringes at equalintervals.8.4.2.2 A grooved surface forms straight parallel fringes atunequal intervals.8.4.2.3 A symmetrical concave or convex surface formsconcentric circular fringes. Their number is a measure
47、of thedeviation from flatness.8.4.2.4 An unsymmetrical concave or convex surface formsa series of curved fringes that cut the periphery of themicrometer surface. The number of fringes cut by a straightline connecting the terminals of any fringes is a measure of thedeviation from flatness.8.5 Machini
48、sts Micrometer Requirements:8.5.1 The requirements for a zero reading of machinistsmicrometers are met when ten closings of the spindle onto theanvil, in accordance with 8.6.2.3 or 8.6.3.3, as appropriate,result in ten zero readings. The condition of zero reading issatisfied when examinations with a
49、 low-power magnifyingglass show that at least 66 % of the width of the zerograduation mark on the barrel coincides with at least 66 % ofthe width of the reference mark.TABLE 2 Test Method Parameter DifferencesTest Method ApparatusElastic Modulus RangeAMPaDiameter of Presser Footor Spindle, mmPressure on Specimen,Approximate, kPaA1 A from 35 to 276 to 701 6.4 40 to 900BB 6.4 unknownC C 6.4 to 12.7 5 to 900D D 6.4 to 12.7 5 to 900HC 6.4 30ADetermined by Test Method D638 or Test Method D790.D5947 1138.5.2 Proper maintenance of a machinists micr
