Draw a neat and labelled diagram of a screw gauge.

Name its main parts and state their functions.


Name the instrument which has the least count

 0.1 mm


(a) A vernier scale has 10 divisions. It slides over the main scale, whose pitch is 1.0 mm. If the number of divisions on the left hand of zero of the vernier scale on the main scale is 56 and the 8th vernier scale division coincides with the main scale, calculate the length in centimetres.
(b) If the above instrument has a negative error of 0.07 cm, calculate the corrected length.


Which part of vernier callipers is used to measure the external diameter of a cylinder?


The thimble of a screw gauge has 50 divisions for one rotation. The spindle advances 1 mm when the screw is turned through two rotations.

  1. What is the pitch of the screw?
  2. What is the least count of screw gauge?
  3. When the screw gauge is used to measure the diameter of wire the reading on the sleeve is found to be 0.5 mm and reading on thimble is found, 27 divisions. What is the diameter of the wire in centimetres?

What do you understand by the following term as applied to micrometre screw gauge?

Thimble
