I never knew I was using a vernier caliper wrong. This is by far one of the most useful tools a person can have. Measures bolt sizes so you can cut the guess work out of trying to find the right socket. Useful af.
If you read the main scale in millimetres, you can just add the vernier reading to it as tenths of a millimetre. 7.5 would be 75 millimetres and 6.4 on the vernier scale would be 0.64 millimetres, which makes the measurement 75.64 millimetres!
This is actually pretty helpful. Still really complicated but it's kind of easy to wrap your head around when you give it a try. I bet I'll be visiting this video a lot in the near future.
for the first time in my life, I understood this thing, thanks to you and thanks to the indian education system to prevent me from understanding till now.
Thanks. Just got into the steel fabrication industry and I all see is Verniers and Screw gauges. So thanks! Feels nice to relearn something that you learnt in high school!
first of all what least count of this vernier in metric system. 50 divi of vernier scale = 49 div of main scale and one division of main scale is equal to 1 mm (0.10cm). hence least count will be 1/50 = 0.02mm or 0.002 cm. Now we analyse each reading. No vernier readings comes in decimal but it will always be counted as whole number divisions, like 22, or 45 or 10 etc.The vernier division counts and readings thus will be as under respectively Not 2.2 but will be 12 Not 6.4 but will be 34 Not 1.4 but will be 09 Thus readings 12x0.002 cm = 0.024cm 34x0.002 cm = 0.068cm 09x0.002 cm = 0.018cm So both reading will be added thus dia of coin will be 2.124 cm (not 2.122), inner dia of tap roll will be 7.568 cm (not 7.564) and depth will be 4.818 cm (not 4.814)
yes sir you are right, because least division on vernier scale measure is 0.02 mm and each line or division is of 0.02 mm so if the 2nd line is matching after 10 on VS then it will be 0.24 so in first example reading will be 21.24mm not 21.22 mm
The music was too busy and distracting for my tastes. I just muted it finally so I I could read the content. I guess if you process math at the same speed as the music it's perfect. I don't.
Yeah. I found it perfect, kept me interested in doing the math(which I'd usually have found boring) and watching the whole video. I didn't know that the depth could be measured before :O
I thought the music not only "distracting", but also REVOLTING. It is better fitting for an episode of the Happiness Hour on the Dennis Prager Radio Show or a Georgia pubic broadcasting system presentation of how to use a camera to take pictures.
I subscribed after seeing this video .It was so simple and easy to understand.Awesome video.Didnt notice the music as my phone's volume was already silent.
Well this is interesting. Never was told about this method till now. All my teachers LITERALLY said "just add the vernier reading at the end of the main reading."
Your teachers aren't necessarily wrong, it just depends on the scale being used. Their method works for vernier scales with 10 divisions. Our method will work for *any* vernier scale.
such a good video and the background music is actually refreshing if you hear it at low volume...i dont know why did 298 people dislike it...anyways thanks a lot...please make more such videos...
That was fantastic! Thank you so much. The job I'm applying for would like you to have some experience in reading a vernier scale. Looking at your video, I picked up the principles very quickly. Thanks again (you're a good teacher)
In your first example, I would've read the vernier, at that setting, as 21.22mm. I believe that that's how the metric World (perhaps not the US, though) would read it. In other words, there is no arithmetic involved - the whole number (21mm) is obvious (on the major scale - the first step) and the fraction ( 0.22mm) which refines the measurement to the nearest 50th of a millimetre, is then 'attached' upon reading the closest approximation on the minor scale.
The Vernier scale here has only five small division between each large division and each small division represents an incremental misalignment of an additional TWO one-hundredths of a millimeter. Going into this video I knew nothing about Vernier scales, so I didn't know if I could assume that the small markings were in fact linear divisions of the large markings and not some other weird thing. Maybe it was obvious to other people, but I spent an extra 15 minutes watching some other tutorial just because you guys didn't explicitly put that into words! I liked the music though, by the way.
Thanks for the video, it was really helpful ! To those in universities, I am a science student who is about to go to last year of high school. I don't know which field to take b/c I don't really know what I like to do for the rest of my life. So How are ur experiences : Is it hard or complicated? How many years does it take? What are the career options that I have by studying physics,chemistry,biology,maths, computer so far? I really need help!!!
Sorry, but your measurements are not correct. You have forgotten that vernier scale on your caliper is 0.02 mm not 0.01 mm. So, readings should be 2.124 not 2.122; 7.568 not 7.564; 4.818 not 4.814
MARK K which, as I've stated in many other comment replies, only works if the vernier scale has 10 divisions. We are trying to be more complete in our explanations than that.
Amazing video! I was studying for an event for Science Olympiad. I couldn't understand how to use it. I searched up it on youtube and found your video. Great video! Very clear and easy to understand. Thanks for making this video! Really appreciate it :)
yeah thanks for this one, im gonna make my professor proud tomorrow. i didnt listen to her when shes demonstrating it! im ready for our individuall actual test tomorrow goodluck to me!
In the machinist world it would be read 21.22 MM I never refer to CM it's always MM, the CM is a huge measurement, the military refers to caliber of weapons in MM as well never CM.
Thanks for the video, it is a great help. I think you got the last calculation wrong though. You lined the vernier scale up at 1.4 but the divisions are each 0.2 and so it should have been 1.8 Please tell me if I am wrong.
Explain visually the cooling down effects of a slap down by a hot babe 1) who might have been touchable 2) who wasn't and 3) who was protected by Bluto.
Thanks I finally understand it. But I think you totally over explained it. The vernier number should simply be added on to the first measurement. So 2.1 with 2.2 tacked on is 2.122 Much easier!
SMUPhysics that doesn’t make any sense at all. It works on any Vernier scale as long as you know your divisions (which in this case is .002 not .001 as implied by the math in the video).
[Mistake] The precision of Vernier Caliper should be 0.01 cm (0.1 mm). In order to obtain reading up to 0.001 cm (0.01 mm) accuracy, Micrometre screw gauge should be used instead.
[Not a mistake]. You are probably only familiar with callipers with 10 divisions on the vernier scale. In that case, you would be correct. But this caliper has a finer resolution on the vernier scale and therefore the precision cited is correct.
SMUPhysics Even though you're right most people (like me) are used to 0.1 vernier scale so this one might seem a bit awkward, I'm in general familiar with 0.01 version of the scale but I simply never used it, not even in school we only mentioned it's existence so for measuring 0.01 I alwayas use micrometer, that's most probably the reason he was confused about this video.... You actually made only one mistake that I assume no one noticed... when you explained that the depth measured is the same as space betwen the main jaws: you used the wrong part of the jaws; you are supposed to measure it with only the sloped part (first centimeter) of the jaws, and not to stuff the measured element all the way to the main scale... You'll see what I meant at 02:11 what you did there was wrong... (don't take this as an insult, it was just a small friedly notification :))
It took me a while but I see your point now. Yeah, we were a bit sloppy showing the equivalence between the depth measurement and the space between the main jaws. Thanks for pointing that out! We intentionally used a caliper that didn't have the usual 0.1 scale in order to make the video more general. Hopefully, we haven't caused too much confusion by doing so. We'd like people to understand the vernier scale better than just being taught to use one special instance (even if it is arguably the most common).
It looks like, on the small scale, there are only 5 marks between numbers. I would think each mark would equal .02. But I have never done this before, just commenting.
Can this be use to measure paper. For example, you count the first 50 sheets then use this Vernier Caliper to measure the other sheets based on the measurements of the counted 50 sheets to get 50 "counted' sheets?
As long as each of the 50 sheets is identical, that should work. Measuring 50 at once will give you an average thickness. Doing a standard error analysis will tell you if your measurement error is > One sheet.
I never knew I was using a vernier caliper wrong.
This is by far one of the most useful tools a person can have. Measures bolt sizes so you can cut the guess work out of trying to find the right socket.
Useful af.

No vernier readings comes in decimal but it will always be counted as whole number divisions, like 22, or 45 or 10 etc.The vernier division counts and readings thus will be as under respectively
Not 2.2 but will be 12
Not 6.4 but will be 34
Not 1.4 but will be 09
Thus readings
12x0.002 cm = 0.024cm
34x0.002 cm = 0.068cm
09x0.002 cm = 0.018cm
So both reading will be added thus dia of coin will be 2.124 cm (not 2.122), inner dia of tap roll will be 7.568 cm (not 7.564) and depth will be 4.818 cm (not 4.814)
Thanks, I almost fell for the trap of this video!
Thanks a lot sir we may had mistaken in our practicals if you hadn't corrected them.
yes sir you are right, because least division on vernier scale measure is 0.02 mm and each line or division is of 0.02 mm so if the 2nd line is matching after 10 on VS then it will be 0.24 so in first example reading will be 21.24mm not 21.22 mm

I like jazz for detail work, the precision of the music is helpful.
No worries. The creator of this video could not process the math either, because these answers are wrong.

Seriously? I go to this university and got reccomended this video.... sigh... going somewhere else then!
I wonder how many students failed a course at SMU because they actually knew how to read the vernier scale?
Thanks a Million...only video on the youtube which has explained it in such a simple manner
Jazziest tutorial ever, very helpful, thank you!
no gimmicks just the good stuff.....keep up the work

Good luck. But a word of advice: if you really want to make your professor proud, listen to her when she's teaching you! :)
So did you pass? If you didn’t, this video is to blame.
Anyway thanks bro. after 2 days is my practical exam. This was very helpful.
I love using these they are so handy to have around a machine shop they make measuring stuff precisely easy
In the machinist world it would be read 21.22 MM I never refer to CM it's always MM, the CM is a huge measurement, the military refers to caliber of weapons in MM as well never CM.

SMUPhysics not when the music adds nothing and is therefore an utterly pointless distraction, rather like your comment...
I mean the sound can be muted. This is pointless..... like if complaining made a difference XDD
This is super helpful, but the music is rather distracting
Very good tutorial on use of vernier calipers
Thanks!
Great! Now I clearly understand how to use vernier caliper.
Awesome!
Thanks for the video. But I don't understand why you need to divide the measurement on the vernier scale by the number of divisions, 10 in the case.
super video quality and very good editing.....honestly ....this is a very helpful video.
Thanks for the video, it is a great help. I think you got the last calculation wrong though. You lined the vernier scale up at 1.4 but the divisions are each 0.2 and so it should have been 1.8 Please tell me if I am wrong.
0.2 is of the vernier scale we hv to tak e d smallest division of the main scale
You are not wrong, except for the fact that all of the other answers were wrong too.
It was an amazing video! Very clear and extremely useful.
What a great video... That's nice to prepare for practicals

thanx, it is so simple and easy to understand
practicls r nearing !!!
the increment on the vernier scale is 0.02. so the reading on the vernier scale is ( 2.4/10)×0.1=0.024cm.
Thanks, has helped me get ready for the physics practicals.......
Thanks I finally understand it. But I think you totally over explained it.
The vernier number should simply be added on to the first measurement. So 2.1 with 2.2 tacked on is 2.122
Much easier!
That really only works if your caliper has 10 divisions. We tried to be more general than that.
SMUPhysics Oh okay, I assumed there are all made that way. Mine has the 10 divisions as well.
SMUPhysics that doesn’t make any sense at all. It works on any Vernier scale as long as you know your divisions (which in this case is .002 not .001 as implied by the math in the video).
These are much better than the cheap digital ones..
Best caliper video ever
This was awesome. But I am kinda doubtful about the 'lining up' thing and whether it will the correct explanation if my teacher asks me how to use it.

Thanks once again
what is the other scale on top used for, thats what i dont understant
That's the imperial scale (inches etc).
least count is 0.02 not 0.01 this is right formula ..
Wow, that was amazing!
Thanks its short and very helpful
why the zero is not level with the 1st tip ? Anyone can answer pls.. Cause I have the same caliper, and I think, I'm not reading it right.
thanks so much! came here to measure parts for a vintage mountain bike im restoring.
[Mistake] The precision of Vernier Caliper should be 0.01 cm (0.1 mm).

it was a great help 😊😊
That was awesome. I liked the jazzy music.
Thanks!
2:15 to 2:17 does the Caliper change readings? I feel like It was measuring 4.9 and then went to 4.8 in the transition. Very confusing.
Tomorrow is my Physics practical!!
Good Luck! Let us know how it goes!
SMUPhysics Thanks! I will surely let you know ,Sir.
6 Yrs later...Have you managed to survive despite this inadequate and incomplete, possibly inaccurate, teachingtoid?

thx dude. this is gonna help me in my practical exam TOMM. and pls change the music
1) Goo luck on your practical! Let us know how it goes.
2) We will never change the music : )
Do we follow the same procedure for vernier scales with 20 divisions?
Yes! We made sure that the formulae given in the video applied to all scales.
do you have one video using the imperial system?
Nope. We're Canadians here. Metric All the Way!
@@SMUPhysics
That's fine but there's occasions when you need to use imperial units
the little lord liked it very much ! he demands more such videos !!! Jk , reallyman i liked ur work
It looks like, on the small scale, there are only 5 marks between numbers. I would think each mark would equal .02. But I have never done this before, just commenting.
Great video. Love the music!
Thanks!
thanks a lot.... I suppose it is the only video to understand this well.
what's the name of the piece at the introduction and ending?
Can this be use to measure paper. For example, you count the first 50 sheets then use this Vernier Caliper to measure the other sheets based on the measurements of the counted 50 sheets to get 50 "counted' sheets?
As long as each of the 50 sheets is identical, that should work. Measuring 50 at once will give you an average thickness. Doing a standard error analysis will tell you if your measurement error is > One sheet.
So AS Practical tmr and rn.. I'm just desperate.
