Micrometer and micron tape: accurate measurements in the production of steels and precision alloys

In today's world of steel and precision alloy production, where even the smallest details can have a negative impact on product quality, accurate measurements are becoming necessary. Some objects are so small that they can't be measured with conventional measuring instruments. In such cases, devices capable of measuring in very small ranges are required. This is where the micrometer comes in.

What is a micrometer

A micrometer is a device designed to measure the thickness, depth, or size of very small objects within the microsize range. Invented by Willian Gascoyne in 1963, it is a C-shaped device with a handle. Modern micrometers on the market are capable of measuring up to one thousandth of a centimeter in thickness and can be equipped with digital indicators for ease of use.

The importance of the micrometer in the production of precision alloys

The micrometer plays a key role in the production of steel and alloy tapes. Cold-rolled strip, widely used in construction, automotive, electronics and other industries, requires precise dimensions and thicknesses for successful use of products at various stages of production of critical parts and assemblies.

The use of a micrometer makes it possible to control and ensure the necessary parameters of the tape, improving the quality and reliability of the finished product. Without a micrometer, the production process may lose accuracy and quality, which will lead to undesirable consequences when the manufactured products are further used.

Micron tape produced by PZPS

On our company each measuring instrument is regularly checked, which makes it possible to accurately control the thickness of the produced tape (this is especially important in the production of particularly thin materials).

PZPS produces tapes micron sizes from the following grades of precision alloys:

• soft magnetic materials 50N, 50NP, 79NM;
• solid-magnetic grades EP-298, 13NXM;
• alloy with a given temperature coefficient of linear expansion 36N;
• alloy with specified elastic properties 40KHNM;
• NP-2 nickel alloy.

Thanks to flexibility and adaptability technological processes, in agreement with the customer, it is possible to produce other grades of steels and alloys in particularly thin dimensions. To order tape in the required dimensions from the ones you need steel grades please contact us at specified phone or leave a request on the site. Our staff will contact you and help you place your order.
