Description
A Vernier caliper is a precision measuring tool used to measure the dimensions of an object with high accuracy. It consists of a main scale and a sliding Vernier scale, which allows users to take very precise measurements. The caliper has several parts:
- Outside Jaws for measuring the external diameter or width.
- Inside Jaws for measuring the internal diameter.
- Depth Gauge for measuring depth.
- Scale marked in both millimeters and inches.
Vernier calipers are widely used in various fields, like engineering, metalworking, and woodworking, where precise measurements are essential. They typically allow measurements accurate to 0.02 mm, making them ideal for detailed work.
