Question
A screw has a pitch equal to 0.5 mm. What should be the number of divisions on its head so as to read correctly up to 0.001 mm with its help?

Solution
Pitch of the screw gauge = 0.5 mm
L.C. of the screw gauge = 0.001 mm
No. of divisions on circular scale = Pitch / L.C.
= 0.5 / 0.001
= 500
