Digital Micrometer
Product Code : SCL-PL-12351
Digital Micrometer (SKU SCL-PL-12351) is an electronic screw gauge that measures external dimensions from 0 to 25 mm at 0.01 mm resolution and shows the reading on an LCD in metric units or inches. Physics students use it for wire-diameter and sheet-thickness practicals, and workshop trainees use it for precision measurement. Science Lab Supplies, a physics instruments supplier in India, sends this instrument from Ambala to schools, colleges, training institutes, distributors and tender contractors.
Specifications
The micrometer covers a 0–25 mm range with 0.01 mm resolution and displays readings on an LCD in metric or inch units. Its measuring faces are carbide-tipped for durability, its plastic parts resist oil, and a ratchet stop applies uniform pressure so repeated readings stay consistent.

Applications and Experiments for the Digital Micrometer
The instrument is used to measure small external dimensions such as wire diameter, sheet thickness and the size of small spheres or rods. It suits the screw-gauge practical in Class 11 physics, engineering and polytechnic metrology labs, and fitter or machinist training where parts are checked to a hundredth of a millimetre.
- Class 11 physics practical: measuring the diameter of a wire and the thickness of a sheet, the task usually done with a screw gauge.
- B.Sc. and diploma physics: finding the diameter of wires for resistivity and Young's modulus experiments.
- Engineering and polytechnic metrology labs: comparing digital readings with a mechanical micrometer.
- ITI Fitter and Machinist trades: checking turned or filed parts during workshop exercises.
Close the faces gently using the ratchet rather than the thimble, and check the reading with the faces closed before each series of measurements.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Digital Micrometer is supplied as a single instrument with the LCD, carbide-tipped measuring faces and ratchet stop described above. Any optional accessories you ask for are listed on the quotation together with the quantity you need, so the order can be checked item by item on delivery.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
A quotation can be prepared for one micrometer or for a set that equips every bench in a physics or metrology lab. It shows the packing, delivery time and price for that quantity, and vernier calipers, rulers or other items from our range can be added to the same document.
With an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in the Philippines, Nepal, Bangladesh, Zambia, Rwanda and South Africa. Requests can be sent from the contact page or collected in the enquiry cart; institutions buying through tenders can start at the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the range and resolution of the Digital Micrometer?
It measures from 0 to 25 mm with a resolution of 0.01 mm. Readings appear on the LCD, which can show metric units or inches, so students can compare both systems on one instrument.
Why does the micrometer have a ratchet stop?
The ratchet stop slips once the measuring faces reach a set pressure, so every student closes the faces with the same force. That keeps readings uniform and repeatable across a class.
Who supplies the Digital Micrometer?
Science Lab Supplies supplies it from Ambala, India. Laboratories, training institutes and distributors can order it directly from the company, and it can be packed together with other measuring instruments on the same quotation.
Can it replace a mechanical screw gauge in practicals?
It measures the same external dimensions as a screw gauge and gives a direct digital reading. If your practical scheme assesses reading a mechanical scale, keep some screw gauges for that part of the course.
