    Vernier micrometer reading 5.783 ± 0.001 mm, comprising 5.5 mm on main screw lead scale, 0.28 mm on screw rotation scale, and 0.003 mm added from vernier. Some micrometers are provided with a vernier scale on the sleeve in addition to the regular graduations. These permit measurements within 0.001 millimetre to be made on metric micrometers ...

  7. Cunningham correction factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cunningham_correction_factor

    λ is the mean free path; d is the particle diameter; A n are experimentally determined coefficients. For air (Davies, 1945): [2] A 1 = 1.257 A 2 = 0.400 A 3 = 0.55. The Cunningham correction factor becomes significant when particles become smaller than 15 micrometers, for air at ambient conditions.
