State the purpose of ratchet in a screw gauge.
The pitch of a screw gauge is 1 mm and the circular scale has 100 divisions. In measurement of the diameter of a wire, the main scale reads 2 mm and 45th mark on the circular scale coincides with the base line. Find
(i) The least count and
(ii) The diameter of the wire.
State the formula for determining a pitch
State the correction if the negative error is 7 divisions when the least count is 0.01 cm.
The circular scale of a screw gauge has 50 divisions. Its spindle moves by 2 mm on the sleeve, when given four complete rotations calculate
- pitch
- least count
The circular scale of a screw gauge has 100 divisions. Its spindle moves forward by 2.5 mm when given five complete turns. Calculate
- pitch
- least count of the screw gauge
A micrometre screw gauge has a negative zero error of 8 divisions. While measuring the diameter of a wire the reading on the main scale is 3 divisions and the 24th circular scale division coincides with baseline.
If the number of divisions on the main scale are 20 to a centimetre and circular scale has 50 divisions, calculate
- pitch
- observed diameter.
- least count
- corrected diameter.
Consider the following case where the zero of vernier scale and the zero of the main scale are clearly seen. If L.C. of the vernier calipers is 0.01 cm, write the zero error and zero correction of the following.
The following diagrams (Fig. 5) show the use of a vernier caliper under three different situations. Study the diagrams carefully and note down the vernier readings in each case.
(a) Measuring the diameter of the rod
(b) Measuring Internal diameter of a cavity
(c) Measuring depth of a cavity
