1/10 Caliper Reading Questions

1/10 calipers have a precision of 0.1 mm. Because of this, they’re suited to measurements like 5.9 – 6.1, and have the lowest precision compared to other caliper types. In other words, we could say they take somewhat coarser measurements.

1/20 Caliper Reading Questions

For 1/20 calipers, dividing 1 by 20 gives us 0.05. These calipers have a precision of at least 0.05 mm. Because of this, they’re suited to measurements like 5.75 – 5.80 – 5.85. (Note that in these examples, the last digit is 5 or a multiple of 5.)
1/20 calipers are the most commonly used type, both commercially and in schools.

1/50 Caliper Reading Questions

For 1/50 calipers, dividing 1 by 50 gives us 0.02. These calipers have a precision of at least 0.02 mm. Because of this, they’re suited to measurements like 5.70 – 5.72 – 5.74 – 5.76. (Note that in these examples, the last digit is 2 or a multiple of 2.)

Since these calipers can measure in increments as small as two-hundredths of a millimeter, we can say they measure more precisely than the 1/10 and 1/20 calipers mentioned above.
