To read the measurement note the main scale measurement immediately preceding the
zero line on vernier scale.
To this (28mm) must be added the decimal reading on the vernier scale. Note the line on
the vernier scale which is coincident with a line on the main scale.

The main scale on the vernier is graduated and numbered in inches with each inch
graduated and numbered in tenths (0,1in). Each tenth is divided into four giving 0,1in.
divided by 4 = 0,025in. On the vernier scale 0,6in is divided into 25 parts. Each of these
has a length of 0,6in divided by 25 = 0,024in. The difference in length between a small
division on the main scale and the vernier scale is 0,025- 0,024 = 0,001in.cc

To read a measurement note the position of the zero line on the vernier scale in relation to
the main scale. This is shown as 3,00in plus 0,300in plus 2*0,025in which equals 3,35in.
To this must be added the number of divisions from the zero line on the vernier scale to the
line which is coincident witha line on the main scale, in this case 15 divisions which equals
0,015in the total reading is therefore:

Digital vernier caliper is very accurate and does involve the computations needed by a
standard vernier caliper. When the jaws come in contact with the workpiece, the
measurement can be read directly from a digital display.cc
