Reading Calculation
Asked by Neeta K · 2 years ago
What is the formula to calculate the final reading of a vernier caliper?
1 Answer
The formula to calculate the final reading of a vernier caliper is:
Final Reading = Main Scale Reading + (Vernier Coincidence × Least Count)
Where:
- Main Scale Reading is the reading on the main scale
- Vernier Coincidence is the division on the vernier scale that aligns with the main scale
- Least Count is typically 0.01 cm or 0.1 mm for standard vernier calipers
Final Reading = Main Scale Reading + (Vernier Coincidence × Least Count)
Where:
- Main Scale Reading is the reading on the main scale
- Vernier Coincidence is the division on the vernier scale that aligns with the main scale
- Least Count is typically 0.01 cm or 0.1 mm for standard vernier calipers
