The most compelling reason to select the micrometer Screw over the Vernier caliper is the guarantee that when measuring a flexible surface, the same amount of pressure is applied between samples. The Vernier caliper has the ability to measure internal and externally, but if precision is required, the micrometer screw is the tool of choice.

A screw gauge has a smaller pitch than a Vernier caliper, which allows for more precise measurements. The screw gauge also provides a digital reading, which reduces human error in reading measurements. Additionally, the screw gauge has a finer scale that allows for more accurate readings compared to a Vernier caliper.
A micrometer screw gauge is used for measuring very small distances or dimensions with high accuracy. It consists of a calibrated screw that moves a measuring spindle to take precise measurements. It is commonly used in fields such as machining, engineering, and science where accurate measurements are crucial.
Verniers give you a less accurate approximation of the thickness, whereas a micrometer can give a more accurate measurement, often by 100 orders more accurate.

In vernier calipers, zero error is when the jaws of the caliper do not close properly when they are in contact without measuring anything, resulting in a measurement that is not accurate. In a micrometer screw gauge, zero error occurs when the flat end of the spindle does not perfectly align with the reference line on the sleeve at zero reading, leading to inaccurate measurements.

A micrometer (or micrometer screw gauge) measures the volume of a screw.
If a screw gauge is used instead of a vernier caliper to measure the thickness of a glass plate, the screw gauge will provide a more precise measurement due to its higher accuracy and smaller scale increments. The screw gauge operates by turning a precision threaded screw to measure thickness, while the vernier caliper uses sliding jaws. The screw gauge may be more suitable for measuring thinner or more delicate materials like glass due to its higher precision capabilities.
To read a micrometer, first look at the main scale reading plus the number of revolutions on the thimble scale. Add the main scale reading to the thimble scale reading and the additional value from the vernier scale if your micrometer has one. The final value is your measurement in millimeters or inches, depending on the micrometer.
