A vernier caliper outputs measurement readings in centimetres (cm) and it is precise up to 2 decimal places (E.g. 1.23 cm).Note: The measurement-reading technique described in this

post will be similar for vernier calipers which output measurement readings in inches.Measurement Reading Technique For Vernier CaliperIn order to read the measurement readings from vernier caliper properly, you need to remember two things before we start. For example, if a vernier caliper output a measurement reading of 2.13 cm, this means that:The main scale contributes the main number(s) and one decimal place to the reading (E.g. 2.1 cm, whereby 2 is the main number and 0.1 is the one decimal place number)The vernier scale contributes the second decimal place to the reading (E.g. 0.03 cm)Let's examine the image of the vernier caliper readings above. We will just use a two steps method to get the measurement reading from this:To obtain the main scale reading: Look at the image above, 2.1 cm is to the immediate left of the zero on the vernier scale. Hence, the main scale reading is 2.1 cmTo obtain the vernier scale reading: Look at the image above and look closely for

scale. It is a scale that indicates where the measurement lies in between two of the marks on the main scale. Verniers are common on sextants used in navigation, scientific instruments used to conduct https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vernier_scale experiments, machinists' measuring tools (all sorts, but especially calipers and micrometers) used to work materials to fine tolerances, and on theodolites used in surveying. A close-up of a caliper's measurement scales. Assuming the caliper has https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/zero-errors-in-vernier-calipers-and-micrometer-screw-gauge.721104/ no "zero error" (that is, it registers 0.00 mm when fully closed) the image shows a reading of 3.58mm ± 0.02mm. This is found by adding 3.00mm (left red mark) read off from the fixed main vernier caliper (upper) scale to 0.58mm (right red mark) obtained from the sliding vernier (lower) scale. The main scale reading is determined by the rightmost tick on the main scale that is to the left of the zero tick on the vernier scale. The vernier reading is found by locating the closest aligned lines between the two scales. The 0.02mm inscription indicates the caliper's precision and is just the width that corresponds to zero error in the smallest interval on the vernier scale.

Calipers without a vernier scale originated in ancient China as early as the Qin dynasty (9 AD).[1][2] The secondary scale, which contributed extra precision, was invented in 1631 by French mathematician Pierre Vernier (1580–1637). Its use was described in detail in English in Navigatio Britannica (1750) by mathematician and historian John Barrow.[3] While calipers are the most typical use of Vernier scales today, they were originally developed for angle-measuring instruments such as astronomical quadrants. In some languages, the Vernier scale is called a nonius. It was also commonly called a nonius in English until the end of the 18th century.[4] Nonius is the Latin name of the Portuguese astronomer and mathematician Pedro Nunes (1502–1578), who in 1542 invented a different system for taking fine angular measurements. Nunes' nonius was not widely adopted, being difficult to make and also difficult to read. Tycho Brahe used it on at least one instrument.[4][5][6] The name "vernier" was popularised by the Frenc

Zero Errors in Vernier Calipers and Micrometer Screw Gauge Nov 6, 2013 #1 kunkun Hi, I have a question to ask. On my notes that my teacher gave me, he said that there are some errors in the notes. He had not responded to me which are the errors yet but he said about zero errors in vernier calipers and micrometer screw gauge. The question is: On my notes, it says that: Vernier Calipers 1. Positive zero error occurs when the ‘0’ marking of the vernier scale appears after the ‘0’ marking of the main scale. The error is +x cm. To correct the reading, we subtract the error from the measurement. 2. Negative zero error occurs when the ‘0’ marking of the vernier scale appears before the ‘0’ marking of the main scale. The error is -(0.1-y) cm. To correct the reading, we subtract the error from the measurement. Micrometer Screw Gauge 1. Positive zero error occurs when the ‘0’ marking of the thimble scale is below the horizontal reference line of the main scale. The error is +x mm. To correct the reading, we subtract the error from the measurement. 2. Negative zero error occurs when the ‘0’ marking of the thimble scale is below the horizontal reference line of the main scale. The error is -(0.1-y) mm. To correct the reading, we subtract the error from the measurement. The problem lies in the sentence: To correct the reading, we subtract/add the error from the measurement. About the subtracts in all the sentence, may I know which one should be add instead of subtract? Thanks! :) kunkun, Nov 6, 2013 Phys.org - latest science and technology news stories on Phys.org •Diamonds aren't forever: Tea
