How to Use a Vernier Calliper
To use a vernier Calliper, follow these steps:
Step 1: Make sure that the vernier Calliper is properly zeroed. To do this, loosen the locking screw and adjust the movable jaw until the zero mark on the vernier scale aligns with the zero mark on the main scale.
Step 2: Place the object to be measured between the fixed and movable jaws.
Step 3: Tighten the locking screw to secure the movable jaw in place.
Step 4: Read the measurement from the main scale and the vernier scale. The main scale will give you the overall length of the object, while the vernier scale will give you the small increments of length.
Vernier Calliper
Vernier Calliper is a precision measuring instrument used to measure the internal and external dimensions of an object. It consists of two main parts:
- A Fixed Jaw
- A Movable Jaw
The fixed jaw is used to measure the outside of an object, while the movable jaw is used to measure the inside of an object. This is a device that is used to measure very smaller values and it can measure the value in the range of 0.1 mm.
