10. HOW TO MEASURE
Dimension=main scale reading+(Vernier scale
reading x least count)
Example:-
◦ Dimension=5mm+(1 x 0.1)mm
=5.1mm

11. HANDLING

12. ERROR
Zero error: Vernier scale 0 and main scale met each other
Positive error: Vernier scale 0 is after main scale
◦ Correct reading=actual reading -error
Negative error: Vernier scale 0 is before main scale
◦ Correct reading=actual reading +error

13. STORAGE
Avoid direct sun light,
low temperature,
high temperature and
high humidity.
Don’t leave the jaws
of a caliper
completely closed
during storage.
