When the anvil and spindle end are brought in contact, the edge of the circular scale should be at the zero of the sleeve (linear scale) and the zero of the circular scale should be opposite to the datum line of the sleeve. If the zero is not coinciding with the datum line, there will be a positive or negative zero error as shown in figure below.

The zero error of a screw gauge is the error that occurs when the zero mark of the thimble does not align perfectly with the reference line of the sleeve. This error can lead to incorrect measurements as it affects the starting point of measurement. It is important to calibrate and adjust the screw gauge to eliminate zero error.
The gap between the zero of the main scale division and zero of the circular scale division when the circular scale is tightly fixed is known as zero errror of micrometer screw gauge.
No, a zero error in a screw gauge indicates that the initial reading is not starting from zero. So, 47mm cannot be a zero error unless the screw gauge is not calibrated correctly.
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.
To remove an error in a screw gauge, you can start by ensuring that the gauge is clean and free from any debris. Check the calibration of the gauge using a calibration standard. If the error persists, it may be necessary to have the gauge professionally adjusted or repaired.
if the zero line of vernier scale is not conciding with main scale the zero error exists.Knowing the zero error necessary correction can be made to find correct measurement..Such a correction is called zero correction
It is a defect in a measuring device (Vernier Callipers & Screw Gauge) & zero error is caused by an incorrect position of the zero point.
