thickness
  • the thickness of a sheet of paper measured by means of a paper micrometer
paksus
caliper preferred
Usage examples
  • Caliper is generally expressed as micrometers in metric units or as thousandths of an inch in English units (points or mils); e.g. a sheet may be reported as having a caliper of: 64 µm, 0.0025", 2.5 points or 2.5 mils.

  • mõõtevahend joonmõõtmete (pikkuste, läbimõõtude jne) mõõtmiseks
  • nihik on mõõtevahend, mida kasutatakse objekti mõõtmete mõõtmiseks
  • measuring instrument which evaluates a dimensional quantity of an internal or external feature on the basis of opposing contact from the movement of a slider with a measuring jaw, moving relative to a measuring scale on a rigid beam and a fixed jaw
  • dimensional measuring instrument for measurement of features of size
  • device used to measure the dimensions of an object
nihik preferred
Good to know
  • Nihikutega saab teostada täiendavaid mõõtmisi, näiteks sügavuse ja astme mõõtmine, seejuures nihiku näit võib olla kas analoog- (nooniusskaala või ringskaala) või numbernäit.

calliper preferred
Good to know
  • Calliper can be equipped for additional measurements, such as depth and step measurements and the indication can be either analogue (vernier scale or circular scale) or digital.
caliper
Good to know
  • Caliper (British spelling also calliper, or in plurale tantum sense a pair of calipers).

calliper
  • nihkmõõdik esemete välis- või sisepindade vahelise kauguse, kõrguse või avade sügavuse mõõtmiseks
  • mõõtevahend pikkuse alla kuuluvate suuruste mõõtmiseks mõõteobjektil
  • mõõtevahend mõõtmeelementide joonmõõtmete mõõtmiseks
  • measuring instrument that lets the user measurement more precisely than could be done unaided when reading a uniformly-divided straight measurement scale
  • measuring instrument with vernier scale used to measure the distance between two opposite sides of an object
  • dimensional measuring instrument for measurement of features of size
nooniusega nihik preferred
Usage examples
  • Nooniusega nihik on kõige enam kasutatav mõõtevahend tootmises, kuna selle põhikasutusala on pinna kahe vastaskülje vahelise kauguse, objekti sise- ja välismõõtmete ja kõrguse mõõtmine.
