When using a D.T.I. to check the run-out of a shaft, readings of -15 to +25 would indicate a run-out of
- 0.025 inches.
- 0.020 inches.
- 0.040 inches.
Explanation from PART66Online
Total run-out is the full sweep of the indicator from the lowest to the highest reading. From -15 to +25 the pointer travels 40 divisions, so on a dial reading in thousandths of an inch the run-out is 0.040 inches.

I think it's reading range divided by 2 to get average value.

you just have to do it easily mates dont confuse it with divisions.You say 25-15=10 then multiplied with 2(because it is radius) =20 thats why it is 0.020.Easy.

The question is correct -15 passing through 0 to +25 is 40 so assuming the shaft has been turned one full revolution in the same direction then the result is 40 of total movement. This is then divided by two which gives a run-out figure of 20.
