A metric micrometer is a precision measuring instrument used to measure small distances or thicknesses between two surfaces, with accuracy to the hundredth of a millimeter (0.01mm). It is often used in mechanical engineering and machining applications. This information is found on the page "Micrometer" on the website of the National Physical Laboratory (NPL), specifically in the sections "What is a micrometer?" and "How does a micrometer work?".
