what is a vernier caliper?
Vernier caliper is a measuring instrument. Which is used to measure the smallest objects. By this, a job can be measured with an accuracy of up to 1/1000.
It measures on the basis of a difference between the measurement of two scales. caliper is more commonly used in industrial areas. Vernier height gauge and Vernier depth gauge also work on this basis.

Parts of vernier caliper
caliper consists of the following main parts
main scale
vernier scale
fine adjustment
unit
depth measuring strip
Main scale –
The main numbers remain on this part. There is another vernier scale on it. The main scale has a fixed jaw. And there are also measuring tips. The clamping screw is attached to the vernier caliper. Where does the adjusting screw also go? It also serves to lock the vernier scale by sliding it on the main scale. All the readings are required. The vernier scale is locked to
Vernier scale –
Vernier scale is attached to the main scale. On which small measurements are given. The cells of the vernier scale are divided into 10 cells. A moving jaw is attached to the vernier scale. And a moving tip is also attached
How to read a caliper
The vernier caliper has two jaws. From it measure the external diameter. And the one which is fitted with measuring tips. They measure the internal diameter. A strip is attached to one end of the vernier caliper. By which depth is measured. it moves with the moving jaw
Parts of a vernier caliper
Vernier calipers are of the following types
Standard Caliper –
This type of caliper can measure the outside, inside, and depth of a component.
Depth caliper –
This type of caliper measures the depth of a component.
Digital Caliper –
In this type of caliper, a digital meter is used. At present, it is more commonly used
Dial caliper –
A dial gauge is used in this type of caliper. It is also similar in shape and size to a standard vernier calipers.
Gear tooth caliper –
This type of caliper is used to measure gears.
calipers is made of which metal
Vernier calipers are made of high-grade steel such as vanadium steel or nickel chromium steel. it is strong enough
Who invented the calipers?
The Vernier caliper was invented by a French scientist, Parry Vernier, who made a scale by joining two scales. Whose name was the vernier calipers parry vernier made vernier calipers in the metric system of 0.1mm, 0.5, mm, 0.2mm
