Standard is 0.01 mm
The correct spelling would be vernier callipers, or vernier calipers depending on which country you come from. They are used for measuring the inner distance between two surfaces. (e.g. if your tube material is 1 cm thick, and 5 cm across on the outside surface, the vernier calipers would show a distance of 3 cm.
In MKS unit system for length 1/1000 of a meter is termed as 1 Millimeter. and is measured with a screw guage of Least count 0.1, 0.2, 0.5 mm or with a vernier caliper of least count as given earlier or with a universal measuring machine of least count usually 1/2 micron or with a co-ordinate measuring machine of least count 10^-5 mm. If it is for fluid measurement 1/1000 part of a liter is called milliliter If it is time measurement 1/1000 of a second is called millisecond. In short 10^12 - tera 10^9 - giga 10^6 - mega 10^3 - Kilo 10^2 - hecto 10^1 - deca 10^-1 - deci 10^-2 - centi 10^-3 - milli 10^-6 - micro 10^-9 - nano 10^-12 - pico and so on.
Hi, heres how you calculate least count of a micrometer. Use the given formula: Least Count (L. C) = Pitch/no. of divisions on micrometer barrel(thimble) where, Pitch = distance travelled by thimble on linear scale in one rotation. Hi, heres how you calculate least count of a micrometer.

A meter rule is apropriate as it can measure up to unlimited meter while micrometer is suitable for diameter since it has a high degree of accuracy to small diameters in millimeters.

Standard is 0.01 mm
The least value which can be measured from any measuring instrument or device is called its least count. Generally the least count of a vernier caliper is 0.02mm.You can get a least count of 0.01mm in Digital vernier caliper.
Least count of vernier caliper= 1 MSD - 1 VSD. Main scale usually would have 1 mm as the minimum division. Such 9 divisions, ie 9 mm would be divided into ten equal parts in the vernier. So VSD = 0.9 mm Hence the least count = 1 - 0.9 = 0.1 mm If the same is to be given in centimetre, then it will be 0.01 cm.
Least Count [L.C]:-Least count is minimuim acuurate value meauserd by instrument.Least Count of Vernier Callipers:-The minimum value measured is 0.1mm but nowa days [l.c] is of 0.5mm.'

The difference between one main scale division and one vernier division is called vernier constant. this is the minimum length which can be measured accurately with the help of a vernier calipers. it is also called the least count of a vernier. Value of one main scale division is "1 mm" and value of one vernier scale division is "0.9 mm".So,the value of vernier constant is "1-0.9=0.1 mm".
0.1 mm
In case for micrometer, principle of pitch is used. Least count could be even micro meter But in vernier caliper, difference of main scale division and vernier scale division is the principle Least count could be 0.02 mm
because its senstivty is 0.1 mm.......got it or not????
in order to get the result in mm or cm
