CLOSURE

Measurement is an activity to
compare a quanity with
another quantity that is
assigned as unit.
To measure the quantity of
length, we can use a vernier
caliper.
Vernier caliper is an
instrument to measure length
which is more accurate than a
ruler, since it has the smallest
scale of 0,1 mm.

HOW TO READ THE SCALE OF A

VERNIER CALIPER?

The reading of the

main scale that
coincides with the
zero vernier scale is
between 3 mm and 4
mm.
The vernier scale that
is joint vertically with
the main scale is the
seventh scale.
Thus, the reading of the
vernier caliper is
(3mm + 0,7mm) =
3,7mm

The reading of the

main scale that

coincides with the
edge of the outer
wrap is 7,5mm.
The outer wrap line
which coincides
exactly with the
horizontal line of the
main schale is 38-th
line.
Thus, the reading of the
micrometer screw
gauge is
(7,5mm + 38 part) =
7,5mm + 0,38mm =
7,88mm.

CONCLUSION
Measurement is an activity to compare
a quanity with another quantity that is
assigned as unit. To measure the
quantity of length, we can use a vernier
caliper.
The vernier consists of a main scale
engraved on a fixed jaw and an vernier
scale engraved on a movable/sliding jaw
The steps of reading the scale of a
vernier caliper are:
Read the main scale that coincides with
the zero vernier scale
Read the vernier scale that is joint
vertically with the main scale.

CONCLUSION
The micrometer screw gauge consists of
thimble/outer wrap, sliding jaw, sleeve
with main scale.
The steps of reading the scale of a
vernier caliper are:
Read the main scale that coincides with
the edge of the outer wrap
Read the outer wrap line which
coincides exactly with the horizontal line
of the main scale.
