A balanced dial indicator reads from 0 at the twelve o'clock position to what value at the six o'clock position?

A balanced dial indicator typically showcases a full range of measurement from the twelve o'clock position, which represents a reading of zero, to the six o'clock position where it indicates the maximum value. The key element to understand here is the total range of the dial indicator, which for many models is designed to have a full-scale deflection of 100 units.

When the dial indicator is balanced and set to read zero at the twelve o'clock position, the six o'clock position represents the farthest point it can reach on the dial. Since common models of balanced dial indicators are designed to measure a wider range, the six o'clock position would correspond to the maximum value it can register, which is typically 100.

Thus, the correct reading at the six o'clock position for a balanced dial indicator would be 100, as this reflects the full scale of measurement from the baseline of zero to its maximum capacity.
