General Subjects (Auxiliaries & Systems) USCG Question #1010 (Set 16)

To determine the diameter of a small hole, which of the listed tools must be used with inside calipers to get an accurate reading?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — Micrometer

Inside calipers are transfer tools used to measure the diameter of a hole. Because they lack a direct reading scale, the distance between the caliper points must be measured against a precision instrument, such as a micrometer, to obtain an accurate numerical value for the hole diameter.
