Baker 2-3 inch Point Type Measuring Face Micrometer, INC3 (P1- P2)

The Baker 2-3 inch Point Type Measuring Face Micrometer, often denoted as INC3 (P1-P2), is a specialized type of micrometer designed for measuring the outside diameter of cylindrical objects with point contact. This micrometer variant is particularly useful for measuring the diameter of cylindrical objects with very small contact points, such as wires, pins, or other fine components. Here are some key features and components specific to the Baker 2-3 inch Point Type Measuring Face Micrometer, INC3 (P1-P2): Measuring Range: Similar to standard micrometers, this micrometer is designed to measure objects within the range of 2 to 3 inches (or approximately 50.8 to 76.2 millimeters). Point Contact Faces (P1-P2): Instead of flat measuring faces, this micrometer features specialized point contact faces labeled as P1 and P2. These points provide precise contact with the surface of the object being measured, allowing for accurate measurement of small diameter objects. Anvil and Spindle: Like standard micrometers, it consists of a stationary anvil and a moving spindle, but the faces of both are designed as points (P1 and P2) for precise contact. Frame, Thimble, and Sleeve: These components provide the structural support and mechanisms for adjusting and reading measurements, similar to those found in standard micrometers. Sleeve Graduations: The sleeve of the micrometer is usually graduated with markings representing units of measurement (e.g., inches or millimeters) to indicate the measurement value, allowing users to read measurements accurately.
