  • This is reading the 1/1000" scale which is the most common. Hopefully this helps! I have another video showing how to read the top scale (1/128") here: • How to read Vernier Ca...

    Many years ago my father-in-law showed me this method but I'd forgotten how it works....Thank you for the very clear explanation of how to get close to micrometer accurate measurements with the vernier caliper.

  • @opsk9
    @opsk9 Před 11 lety +7

    RE the ~6 minute mark in the video: The technique here is sound, but that "lined up" 12 looks a lot more like 20/1000ths to me, or maybe 21. That also correlates better with the relative position of the bottom scale 0 vs. the first major scale mark. In other words, if it was really 12/1000ths you'd expect the bottom 0 to be only about halfway to the first mark on the major scale (12 = roughly half of 25).
    My apologies if the camera isn't looking straight on and that's a parallax illusion.

    I thought it was cool that vernier is pronounced differently where you grew up from where I grew up. We pronounced it 'vər-nē-ər in three syllables. I love the way language shifts and morphs.

  • @carl121
    @carl121 Před 4 lety

    Thanks for the video. The 1st reading was off by .004 but the second reading was the same as my reading. The concept was correct. Someone seemed confused after watching your video and may be because the vernier caliper takes practice to master. I personally like the dial caliper but use both vernier and dial to confirm my readings. Digital calipers are for quicker measuring but not as accurate +/- .005 difference sometimes.

    First off, GREAT VIDEO. I'm studying some machining courses but I've been out for a bit and needed a refresher. You did a great job with this, the ONLY thing I can say that would help would be to add a few annotations to make it easier to keep up with. Other than that, fantastic job. Maybe you should consider a job as an instructor to help those trying to get their certification. You'd be pretty good.

  • @hardinelders8457

    One clarification needed please ?? When reading the 25 scale do you move along to the right until the first marks that just barely meet at the corners of the marks or do you go until you find marks that are perfectly square on ?? Thank you in advance for your reply.

    short answer: physics --- the device requires no other energy than the mind and talent - digital tends to fail and provides false data if current source is not constant -- and requires calibration/replacement once a tool has been even slightly subjected to impact, and finally, digital is just a sample --- Am still using a Vernier caliper made some 60 years ago.

    I agree with you, but there are instances (like mine) where the measurements are taken in wet areas so digital becomes unfeasible..

  • @morgan4xl
    @morgan4xl Před 9 lety

    Most VERY large calipers are still vernier. The vernier type with the 50 scale is by far the best way to go. If you ever get a chance to see the 25 and 50 side by side, you will wonder why they even make the 25 scale type.

    Hi, thanks for teaching me this, now I get it. The ding dogs who made dumb coments about, no body uses inches etc or inches went out with the dinosaurs are just the usual bunch of youtube pinheads. The only reason someone would watch this excellent video is because they needed to understand working in 1000th of inches. I am working on a 1930s car, which is built in inches. So preferring to use mm is as stupid as trying to run a steam engine off a USB port.

  • @AllAmericanBeaner68
    @AllAmericanBeaner68 Před 10 lety +1

    When you are saying for example 0.025 is that not hundredths of an inch and would 0.0025 be thousandths since the third decimal place is where thousandths starts? After all this caliper does measure up to ten thousandths of an inch. Am I wrong or right anyone?

    • @disregardingsanity2890
      @disregardingsanity2890 Před 10 lety +3

      Umm, you're misunderstanding.
      The scale is in 1/1000th's of an inch.
      That means you have no more than 3 decimal places, therefore your smallest measurement 1/1000 of an inch as a decimal is: 0.001
      Your initial number of 0.025 is:
      ~5/1000th's of an inch = 0.005 (also can be read as 1/2 of 1/100th of an inch)
      ~20/1000th's of an inch = 0.020 (also can be read as 2/100th's of an inch)
      And if added is: 0.025 (also can be read as 2.5/100th's of an inch)
      Now as to any calipers for 1/10,000 of an inch, typically because of the difficulty with the transition between standard measures and imagine how difficult it would be trying to even measure anything smaller than 1/1000 of an inch?
      So we go with the metric system and use microns, or thousandths of a millimetre.
      I hope this helped.

    • @disregardingsanity2890
      @disregardingsanity2890 Před 10 lety +1

      (Addendum): As to your question for ten thousandths of an inch, I neglected to mention that it's used with most micrometer calipers. Apologies for any confusion.

    So i'm at the local homecenter and I ask the clerk for a decimal inch tape measure. He says "what is that?", and I say "a tape measure where each inch is broken into tenths instead of halves quarters and eighths". He then says, "you can't divide an inch into tenths".....Anyone know what the official name of this scale is? My drafting classes were many moons ago.

    It is Vernier, not veneer. Vernier (with an R) comes from the Frenchman who invented the bottom scale to increase precision. Veneer is a very thin wood sheet that is glued on top of crappy wood products to sell them at a higher price to the masses.
    And use a stick to point things out. The fat finger covers up half the screen and the uncontrolled shaking is dizzying at such great zoom in factor.
