The foremost attribute associated with vernier calipers is precision and accuracy of measurement. Vernier calipers provide a higher degree of accuracy in measuring lengths than comparable tools with most common metric calipers able to measure values in centimetres up to 2 decimal places i.e an accuracy of 0.01 cm. This is possible due to the…
We have already introduced the vernier caliper as a simple but brilliant tool for taking precise measurements which a normal ruler is incapable of. The error is commonly about 0.05 mm which is pretty accurate. In this article we will be taking an in depth look at the main features of a caliper and how…
The Vernier Caliper is a tool for measuring distances much more precisely than a normal scale. It’s main purpose is to provide accurate measurements of internal and external diameters of objects. Vernier caliper definition in Physics A Vernier caliper is a precision measuring instrument which consists of an L-shaped frame with a linear scale on…
Electronic digital calipers have undoubtedly become the tool of choice nowadays for all kinds of people, be it home users and hobbyists or industrial workers, mechanics and inspection officers. Digital Vernier calipers are versatile and can be used easily by anyone, anywhere and still provide extremely accurate measurements. However due to their precise nature, even…
Vernier Calipers are multipurpose tools which can be used to measure different type of things such as lengths of objects, inside and outside diameters and even depths. In previous articles we discussed the proper method to use a vernier caliper to measure a cylinder’s dimensions and the diameter and volume of a sphere. Something a bit…
