how to use a vernier caliper

[@Phil_548]

For anyone that says he's making it too complex, here's this: coming into the video I had zero experience using this instrument, and yet, here I am now with an ABSOLUTE understanding of this instrument. I appreciated every word in this video. I even thought he was being terse- seemed like he had every word planned. He'd make a great professor. Thanks.

[@sudorights]

Same I had never seen this tool a day in my life. I feel confident now to understand the formula and do it myself.

[@jaglinuxmint]

Thanks for sharing this knowledge... In college they never taught with this clarity

[@Digiphex]

These all work the same way. The whole minor scale is one hash of the major scale, in this case the entire minor scale represents 1 mm of the major scale. Since it has 10 divisions, it is by tenths of a mm. Therefore, when you got the "7" from it that meant 7/10 mm. To add this to the 7mm from the major scale, you simply move the decimal one place left and you are at mm and you add them. There is no 14 or other numbers necessary. If you get a different Vernier, with this understanding of what you are looking at, you will know that the entire minor is one hash of the major and it will not confuse anyone.

Thanks DUDE , ur explanation was sooooo good , It helped me pass in my practicals!

[@daisylopezartist]

You explained it better than my professor did.. Thank you!

[@bundokman]

You've probably saved my physics and chemistry labs for this year!

[@maxharrow]

Thank you. I have used a caliper when I was a young teenager, but obviously I didn't use the vernier scale. Now I bought a caliper, and I was about to send it back thinking the measurements were incorrect! - Thank you again

[@devminperera4724]

Thanks alot ! I understood vernier caliper well !

[@hariprasadsubramaniam6397]

Excellent video. Thanks for the help. Studying for physics labs rn

[@partheshsoni1905]

Hey nice sir. Atleast I had got the rough idea so that I can measure myself. Thanks God my Practical exams are saved!!

[@kislany123]

I never used multiplication or anything (if I had to do it, I'd be frightened to ever touch a vernier - math was always my nemesis). Just took the number of the first number which comes before the 0 below, which is 7 and the second number which came to 7 (yes it lined up better than 6 in this example), so I know that the first number followed by the second, so it's 7.7mm indeed (or 0.77 cm). For example I've just measured some copper wire I had lying around here. The first number was very close to 2, but not quite, so I know it's 1mm something. The next one aligned was at 8. So I know that my wire is 1.8 mm which is about 13 AWG.

[@aliraza-yf5xs]

Thanks for delivering the knowledge to us

[@premankr9960]

u explained much better than my school teachers ....thanks a lot sir

[@editae._3424]

In my high school the teacher just keeps stuttering while he's trying to explain in his own weird way how it works. Thanks for sharing

[@misternobody4644]

Best explanation and to the point.

[@dasabaja]

Wait, why all the math with 14 and 0.05? The 0 on the minor scale goes beyond the 7 mm hairline. That means that we have 7.something mm's. Now look at the minor scale. It aligns with the 7 mark. That means 7.7 mm or 0.77 cm. No math, no calculations, just read the instrument...

[@lloydoliverlasam9372]

yeah bro. i didn't see that coming 😂

[@myak37]

Nikola Pepic it's for beginners. The channel can't assume everyone is well familiar with callipers

[@rotas7472]

[@wcs8435]

@Poor Poor indeed. just look at varnier caliper .7 mark , it's already mean .7 mm .no complicated maths .

[@sniggiecandy5029]

really helped me a lot... got practicals tommorow.... thanks!!

[@ovajoyd]

Why was my comment removed? It wasn't in any way offensive, or negative, in my view. I was merely making the point that reading the caliper is no where near as 'complicated' as you make it seem. All that I was saying was that if you read in 'millimetres', in the example you give, the reading is very simply 7.7mm. The major scale indicates the 7mm, and the minor scale the 0.7mm, attached, following the decimal point. And, in your second example, the measure is 'exactly' (as the instrument will allow) 17mm. If your arithmetic was to demonstrate the mathematics underpinning Vernier's technology, then, with respect, it doesn't. I'd be quite happy to explain this, but in this posting it is your prerogative, not mine.

[@obogrolilybrian9753]

The major scale indicates 0.7mm and the minor scale 0.07mm. You can take a look at the video again.

[@UrExtremeGamer]

Thank you very much sir i now understand how to measure the vernier caliper.

[@THBbon]

thanks! big help on my metrology homework!

[@josea.sandoval2842]

This helps me out, thanks

[@senecaoak7173]

Wow...good explanation, may i know how to measure if the caliper is a tiny caliper

[@djdancealone3419]

So the minor scale is only used when the 0 doesn't fall right on a number?

[@doordie7560]

yepp

[@kyletakahashi6094]

Hello! Thank you so much for the video! Just thought I'll point out though, because the error margine of the reading is 0.005 which is 3 sig. figs, the reading for your first measurement should be 0.770 cm. Again, thank you very much for the video!

[@GauriTyagimdma]

a day before my physics practical exam i had no idea wtf vernier is. this guy did in 5 minutes what my teacher couldn't do in a month

[@Cyprianshakurful]

Thankss, But I would like to know how to reverse d process, eg, if i'm to draw a scale when given a particular reading.... Thanks in advance

[@freeatlast427]

Good video, well explained.

[@TheiLame]

0,005 where does that come from? (4:03)

[@talor8505]

***** the resolustion of the caliper is ±0.05 [mm] = ±0.005[cm]­

[@doordie7560]

great help for my metrology test

[@Eme_Lopez]

What about the Imperial scale ?

[@SoraSoro]

Very well explained. Good job.

[@masum3k]

How to find the vernier constant of this scale?

[@ph11p3540]

I always trusted vernier calipers over a dial caliper. Dials can very slightly shift or rotated even after zeroing. Dials may be a lot easier to read but they can never be trusted. Verniers are hard to read but they will never lie. One day Starrett came out with digital LCD calipers and they brought the best of both the dial's easy readability with the verniers trust worthiness. When you are in a machine shop there is no such thing as a tiny error. Being out 1000/th of an inch can mean the difference between getting a job milled properly or having a $1000 block of aircraft hardened aluminium thrown in the garbage. If I see anyone in my shop using dial calipers I will quietly toss them in the garbage and leave vernier calipers behind. Good calipers start at $800. You can't buy proper ones for any less.

[@gavrilgavrilov1079]

Good explanation! Thank you.

[@CROHardRap]

1:08 that's wrong way to measure it.. You have to measure it with the down part of that corset...I mean with those teeth that appear dark at that point.

[@jiahaifan3157]

Very helpful! Thank you!

[@yadpreetcheema4806]

why is the uncertainty 0.005?, Thankyou :)

[@dramdan1]

So easy. Thank you for your time.

[@farzana9872]

sir does the vernier main scale is always in cm?

[@sombirmalik8104]

Sir how we check dim 1.74mm by vernier caliper

[@jaysonsimbajon7547]

thank you i appreciate your teaching

[@krishmotiani1822]

Amazing explanation 👌

[@muhammadrazinzulkiefli1605]

Peace be upon to people in KZbin.May I ask,where the number 14.0.05 comes?As a introduction of your answer ,I thanked

[@kaizer3475]

Muhammad Razin Zulkiefli theres two gaps between for example 0.06 and 0.07 so theres 14 gaps until 0.07. therefore, its14.0mm. my apologies if Im not clear, maybe if you still do not get it you can ask your teacher! have a nice day! :)

[@jayo6468]

why would my caliper not show a min measurement, i didnt know what to look for when i bought it.. not to mention theirs no numbers on the slider piece :/

[@01107345]

Might be a stupid question, but I'll ask it anyway. I understand how to correctly read the calipers, but I don't really understand why it works. Why do the measurement lines line up perfectly at the correct value? Could someone explain it to me?

[@magnusklahr8190]

Good. But dont use cm. In industry you always use mm. Never ever cm.

[@707SonomaComa]

What about the 1/128" scale?

[@tomyang7788]

where does the plus minus 0.05 accuracy come from ?

[@108ahah]

Where is the 14 of minor scale come from? Not 7?

[@N7vlog]

Very Nice .. Every line is very easier to understand. I have a question about the upper scale on the sliding body that is marked from 0 to 8 .... I want to learn that. please give me a short explanation

[@hridhyamanoj4867]

Thanks a lot I could understand it very clearly

[@VaitheeshwaranAlagappan]

Hats off very nice sir, thank u!!!

[@aadarshtiwari1263]

you have understand me 100 times better from my teacher

[@alihussaien561]

please can you make A tutorial how to read a vernier caliper in inch 1\128 please it is so important

[@lykzjrmaf3509]

Thanks helps with my physics practical

[@kgupta101098]

IT was great....awesome explanation....thnx a lot man!!!

[@manishlama4231]

Thanks for sharing this video

[@raygair]

it is a fantastic explaination thanks

[@shayaanbukhari7944]

thanks alot got to learn a lot by this

[@russell2952]

Inches scale isn't zeroed properly.

[@DanielJLopes]

Right, was looking for your comment hahaha, poor quality caliper

[@Helica123]

ah good so i was doing it right all along. thanks!

[@mastershadowhunter]

Cheers for the video.

[@MiataBRG]

You would normally talk in terms of the closest whole unit of measurement, which here is mm not cm. It's unusual to talk about 0.7cm.

[@rhidoy07]

too good.. thank you

[@stevenan93]

Thank you!

[@hasanbahja6953]

Why is the result 0.77 +/- 0.005 and not 0.05?

[@hey-its-me-bobby-D]

but doesn't 14*.05 = .7?

[@rajeshramanujamr]

Yeah but it's mm

[@kathleenj.l.delossantos3904]

Robert Diller in mm, 0.7 mm to cm is 0.7 cm

[@shalynna00keys]

Saved me from science lesson question

[@ITIFITTERELEARNING]

NICE VIDEO

[@jesua023]

Thanks, well explained.

[@rukshanfernando2861]

Nice video

[@TheMrWillje]

Very clear video

[@MaikVlcek]

thanks. well explained

[@Unknown-jk2wm]

When you read the zero error, that is plus minus 0.005cm in error. When you are finding out the length, that is another 0.005cm in error. Uncertainty should be 0.01cm

[@ThePanzerFreak5]

Haha wtf he sounds like Ethan from H3H3.

[@halman6]

damn thanks bro.

[@karimsamy96]

very good

[@samarthtaneja3534]

Why did u write 14 in the place for minor scale in the equation????? (I am in 6th grade)

[@frankpom1066]

I don't know if its me but isn't 15 instead of 14??

[@loretostechnocraftsdiy1377]

14 x 0.05= 0.07???

[@omerfarooq9705]

+loreto jr. gaso It has been changed to cm

[@nvsabhishek7356]

0.07 cm

[@technosolemn]

good

god bless your soul!!!!!!

[@Dreammy71135188]

Thank you :)

[@alexander-vi5nu]

i thought it was mm?

[@albertmaliwat6360]

14X0.05=0.7 why 0.07?

[@ackshayjain]

0.7 is in mm whereas 0.07 is in cm

[@KaiTeBriga]

I could have told you that just by looking at it :D
