Vernier caliper
VERIER CALIPER WITH 0.02MM LEAST COUNT IS GENERLY USED
IM WORK SHOP.
In this Vernier caliper main scale division (49mm) are divided in to 50
equal part in the Vernier scale.
i.e. 1 main scale division =1 mm
(MSD)
1. Vernier scale division =4950 mm
(VSD)
Least count is 1mm – 4950 =150 mm
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 1.MSD and 1. VSD=0.02MM
Example
Main scale reading =35mm
The vernier division coinciding with the main scale is the 20th division.
Value=20 multiplied by 0.02=0.40mm.
Total reading is 35mm+0.40= 35.40mm
