8400K Digital Optical Micrometer
The 8400K Digital Optical Micrometer lets you measure the vertical depth of surface features, usually to evaluate the severity of mechanical damage such as scratches, corrosion, pits or blemishes difficult to observe by other methods. The micrometer optically measures the depth, or difference in height, of one surface to another.

Features
- The "working distance" refers to how far the objective lens is from a surface when in focus. The working distance for the 10X lens is .250", for 4x lens, 1.275" above surface. (This means that .250" and 1.275" are the maximum scratch depths that could be observed, in theory, without the lens "bumping into" the surface). The 4X objective provides the most clearance, and is thus used for larger features and for transparencies, where the near and far sides can be focused upon without lens interference.
- The 4X objective lens is ideal for transparencies. The wide field of view allows observation of more and larger features, and the long working distance prevents the lens from contacting surface - even when focusing on the far side of a thick transparency (up to 1.9"). Accuracy is not compromised by using the 4X objective.
- Designed for use in the field. The sealed, non-magnetic case is dustproof and shock resistant to withstand everyday shop use. The hardwood instrument case also contains adapters and lenses for use on convex, concave, or any combination of these surfaces.
- Damage can be measured optically in a fraction of the time needed for other methods such as "blend-out." Spending time on a part that may need replacement is costly, and in many cases, the 8400K can be used to inspect parts while on an aircraft, whereas removal is often necessary using other methods.
- In addition to the clear LCD readout "floating zero" and other features, the 8400K's digital display also has an RS232 serial port for data export to the optional processor/printer.
- Packaged in a sealed, non-magnetic, shock resistant case. It includes a new and improved acrylic V-block base for measuring cylindrical samples. It also includes the black base, MT-801917, which is a special base that enables the customer to measure as close as .375” from the edge of a part.

Procedure
Procedure
- First, focus on a smooth surface next to a scratch.
- Then, zero out the digital display (you can choose a readout in either inches or millimeters).
- Next, focus on the bottom of the scratch. The digital display shows depth relative to the surface.
- Calibration is recommended once a year. Equipment needed - Gage blocks, calibrated and traceable to NIST. Sizes: 0.0625, 0.1000", 0.1250", 0.2000"
Calibration Procedure
- Wring 0.1000" and 0.0625" gage blocks together by sliding one block lengthwise across the top of another creating a step with the 0.1000" gage block on the bottom.
- Place micrometer over the step created by the two blocks (c). Position so approximately one-half of the field of view is on the upper block.
- Zero "0.0000" digital display
- Focus on lower back.
- Read display; if equipment is functioning properly the display will show thickness of upper block.
- Repeat steps 1-5, using the 0.1250" and 0.2000" as the upper block.
