We have thoroughly established that the Vernier Caliper is an amazingly versatile tool which enables the measurement of lengths with a much greater degree of<\/span> accuracy than other tools<\/a><\/strong><\/span>. The Vernier caliper provides this function along with the ability to measure depth, and inside and outside radius measurements of objects. Not to mention it is available in various sizes ranging from 150 mm to as long as 2 metres. Considering all this it is easy to see why the tool is still in popular use despite its origination way back in 1631 by French scientist Pierre Vernier.<\/span><\/p>\n The Vernier Caliper\u00a0<\/span>is constructed of a few simple components<\/a><\/span><\/strong> that fit together to make it work. These parts are not very complex and have been perfected over the years to give performance at low costs. However as is the case with most tools, the better and smoother the performance gets, the higher the price gets. The Vernier Calipers main components are its jaws. <\/span><\/p>\n There are two types of jaws,\u00a0the upper and lower jaws<\/a><\/span><\/strong> which are used to measure inside and outside dimensions respectively. One of these jaws is moving while the other is fixed. The fixed jaw is connected to the main scale of the caliper while the moving jaw is connected to the Vernier scale.<\/span><\/p>\n
