What is the formula to calculate the total reading with a vernier calliper?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to the question-" What is the formula to calculate the total reading with a vernier calliper?" is as under-

Explanation:

Vernier calipers

Vernier calipers are widely used in scientific laboratories and in manufacturing for quality control measurements.

Finding total reading

To find total reading we use the equation,

TR = MSR+VSR = N+(n x L.C)

and apply the zero correction. We will take the mean of the different values of the diameter and showing that in the result with the proper unit.

Calculating total reading on a vernier caliper

The method for using a vernier scale or caliper  with zero error is to use the formula:

actual reading = main scale + vernier scale − (zero error)

Formula of total reading

Here total reading equals to the pitch scale reading in addition to the circular scale reading multiplied by the LC of the gauge.

Total Reading = Pitch Scale Reading + Circular Scale Reading x LC of the gauge.
