    1) A micrometer screw gauge is used to measure small distances and objects. It has a main scale, vernier scale, and anvil. 2) To take a reading, the main scale and vernier scale values are added. Zero error is considered to determine the actual reading. 3) Examples show how to calculate thickness of an object and diameter by accounting for zero error in the micrometer screw gauge readings.
