To read a vernier caliper, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the jaws of the caliper are clean and free from debris.
2. Close the jaws of the caliper and check that the zero on the main scale lines up with the zero on the vernier scale.
3. Open the jaws of the caliper and place the object you want to measure between them.
4. Close the jaws gently until they are snug against the object.
5. Read the main scale measurement that lines up with the zero on the vernier scale.
6. Look at the vernier scale to see which line lines up exactly with a line on the main scale. This is the measurement in tenths of a millimeter or hundredths of an inch.
7. Add the main scale measurement to the vernier scale measurement to get the final measurement.

1. Alignment:
- Position the object between the fixed and moveable jaws.
- Align the zero mark on the vernier scale with the zero mark on the main scale.
2. Main Scale Reading:
- Read the main scale to the left of the zero mark on the vernier scale. This gives a whole number value.
3. Vernier Scale Reading:
- Find the vernier scale line that aligns exactly with a line on the main scale.
- The number corresponding to this line on the vernier scale is the fractional part of the reading.
4. Calculation:
- Sum the main scale reading and the vernier scale reading to obtain the total measurement. For example:
- Main Scale Reading: 5 cm
- Vernier Scale Reading: 0.05 cm
- Total Measurement: 5.05 cm
- Position the object between the fixed and moveable jaws.
- Align the zero mark on the vernier scale with the zero mark on the main scale.
