Yes Pitch is used to find the least count.
LC= pitch/ number of divisions on circular scale.
and
pitch= distance moved/ no. of rotations

Dear Pavankumar,
|
Pitch
|
|
|
"Perpendicular distance between two consecutive threads
of the screw gauge or is called PITCH." |
|
|
Pitch = Distance traveled on main scale / total number of rotations
|
|
|
Least Count
|
|
|
Minimum measurement that can be made by a measuring device is known as " LEAST COUNT'.
|
|
Least count (screw gauge) = minimum measurement on main scale / total number of divisions on circular scale.
Good Luck!!!!!!!!
