The pitch of a screw gauge is 0.5 mm and the head scale is divided in 100 parts. What is the least count of a screw gauge?
Define the term least count as applied to a vernier callipers.
A micrometre screw gauge has a negative zero error of 7 divisions. While measuring the diameter of a wire the reading on the main scale is 2 divisions and 79th circular scale division coincides with baseline.
If the number of divisions on the main scale is 10 to a centimetre and circular scale has 100 divisions, calculate
- pitch
- observed diameter
- least count
- corrected diameter.
For what range of measurement is micrometre screw gauge used?
What do you understand by the following term as applied to micrometre screw gauge?
Thimble scale
State the formula for calculating the least count of screw.
What is the least count in the case of the following instrument?
Thermometer
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.

State whether true or false. If false, correct the statement.
With the help of vernier caliper we can have an accuracy of 0.1 mm and with screw gauge we can have an accuracy of 0.01 mm.
