HOW TO READ A CALIPER
For instruments 3201M Series:
• Each bar graduation (6) represents 1 mm, numbered in sequence 10,
20, 30 etc. Each tenth graduation represents 10 mm, numbered in
sequence 10 (10 mm), 20 (20 mm).The dial has its display graduated in
100 parts, each one representing 0.01mm.
• To take the reading on the instrument, first count how many mm
and mm hundredths exist between the zero trace of the bar and the
left side of the slide (zero reference of the slide). Then, look for the
graduation indicated for the dial hand and write down its value in
hundredths of a mm. Add the hundredths of mm reading from the dial
indicator to the number from the bar. This is the total reading.
To obtain the reading see the example on fig. 11, adding:
a. ... 14.0 mm on the bar
b. ... .81 mm on the dial (each revolution represents 1 mm)
14.81 is the reading
