Reading a vernier micrometer takes practice. We put together some practice pages with and without answers. There are two versions, a shaded one that is more realistic, and a non-shaded one that is easier to read. Both files should print out pretty closely to 1:1 full scale, except the last page which is an oversize version.
The realistic (shaded) practice sheet is very obscure. At least 10 graduations coincide in every question but looking at how far the “0” has moved from the main scale, guesses could be made. Thank you very much the practice sheets.
BobWelds says: Be sure to see the PDF version, and not just the PNG images. Prantanu says: Thank you ver much sir. I am a foreigner. I love your loessons. Please keep posting them. Lorraine says: I hope you create a video on how to read in inches also ☺ Assefa Biru says: I appreciated your smart exercise. May God bless you Henk van Brummelen says:Dear Bob,
What good instruction videos!
Can I use these video’s in my classes at school?
My students do not understand English as well.
Can I record the videos (vioce over) in Dutch?
Of course you can use them in class! If you want to send me a voice-over audio file I can put at Dutch version on the YouTube channel. Or if you want to add Dutch subtitles, feel free to edit them here:

Jamal Ahmed says:Hey Bob I saw your video and it is great but I still seem to have a problem with the vernier caliper readings.
Hello,
I am an engineering trainer at the advanced manufacturing research center (Sheffield university, England). I am so impressed with your tutorials on how to read metric micrometers and vernier calipers. Is there any chance you could do some using the imperial/inch scale that we could use for our students.
I think it would be more work and practice for students if you don’t give the least count. However it was very useful. Thanks
Louis says: Really informative videos. well done.Could you do a video on how to transfer vernier measurement to piece of metal for jewellers on e using dividers and not the vernier jaw Thankyou
Ferry says:Dear Bob, I’m an instructional designer. I find that your Metric Vernier Caliper Practice Sheets above is very useful for students’ quiz. Therefore, I am requesting a permission to use it for the unit I develop. Please let me know how I should attribute the image.
BobWelds says: Fee free to use the sheets however you like. Credit WeldNotes.com heindrick petero says:Hi Bob, I found your Vernier Caliper videos very useful , simple and in laymans terms that anyomne can understand the context. Therefore, I am asking to request if I could use your video as an education tool for an aquaculture academy we are developing to train aquaculture staff. All credits to WeldNotes will be mentioned , if I am allowed to do so. Thank you, looking forward to hearinf back from you.
BobWelds says: That’s fine. Just don’t re-upload the video to YouTube. Tanay Hambire says: Thank you so much for the video and sheet. This is the best explanation I found! Ettienne Martin says: Thank you so much, very helpful!Thank You Bob for your work on the videos and work sheets.
I am using your material to teach students on how to read calipers and micrometers. Your videos are the best that I can find to teach this to my manufacturing classes.
[…] Reading a vernier caliper is tricky. In this video Bob and Sparky go over how to read a metric vernier. If you need more practice reading metric vernier calipers, see our practice sheets. […]
