The zero error in the vernier calipers and micrometer screw gauge when the O mark on the main scale is not in line with the pointer.
The first step is to find the zero error and hence the zero correction. Rotate the micrometer until the fixed and movable jaws contact each other - not too hard and not too soft but just right, you should geta feel for this. Rarely will a micrometer will read zero. You need to figure out the zero error. It may be positive or negative. If the zero error is positive then the zero correction is negative and vicevers. Now open the micrometer and insert the object to be measured and close the micrometer with ideally the same sense of pressure you felt when you found the zero error. Now read the micrometer. You add the zero correction to get the true value.
the screw gauge is an instrument which is used to measure length of an object.... the least count of an screw gauge can be found as follow.... l.c= pitch of the screw gauge no of divisions on main scale
The difference between screw gauge and spherometer is that spherometer can measure the dimensions of spherical surfaces but screw gauge cannot
if the zero line of vernier scale is not conciding with main scale the zero error exists.Knowing the zero error necessary correction can be made to find correct measurement..Such a correction is called zero correction
we can find the zero error by closing the jaw of screw guage if the zero of main scale(MS) is concide with the zero of circular scale (CS) there is no zero error and if they are not concide there is a zero error in screw guage .
Take a measurement with nothing in the gauge. That reading is the zero-error.

the correction which is made to get correct measurement after zero error
necessary correction can be made to find the correct measurement
A micrometer screw gauge is commonly known as a micrometer. This is a form of calipers used for measuring small dimensions. Screw gauge in extensively used in the engineering field for obtaining precision measurements. The article describes the principle and main parts of a basic micrometer screw gauge.
· Zero Correction (Fz): If the zero reading in the hydrometer (in the control cylinder) is below the water meniscus, it is (+), if above it is (-), if at the meniscus it is zero.· Meniscus Correction (Fm): Difference between upper level of meniscus and water level of control cylinder.
