This procedure is applicable to external diameter micrometers with a graduation value of 0.Olmm and a measuring upper limit of 500mm; plate thickness and wall thickness micrometers with a measuring upper limit of 25mm; and digital micrometers with a resolution of 0.OOlmm, 0.0001mm and a measuring upper limit of 500mm. Initial calibration, subsequent calibration and in-service inspection of micrometers showing outer diameter.
