A micrometre screw gauge having a positive zero error of 5 divisions is used to measure diameter of a wire, when reading on the main scale is 3rd division and the 48th circular scale division coincides with baseline.

- Pitch of screw
- Least count of screw
- Observed diameter
- Corrected diameter.
