Vernier caliper, It is a measuring tool used to measure the size of workpieces that require high accuracy. It uses the thickness, depth, external and internal width of the object. It is a measuring tool that is widely used in industrial applications such as metal lathe work and automobile parts work. Car repair work, etc.
Physical characteristics of a vernier caliper
• Internal Jaws Used to measure the inside of an object. By measuring the size of the inside diameter of the object.
• External Jaw Used to measure the external dimensions of objects.Suitable for measuring outside diameter.
• Locking Screw Serves to lock the position of the temple mouth to be stable.
• Main Scale It is the scale value on the vernier caliper.
• Vernier Scale It is the magnification scale value, the resolution value is on the sliding measuring mouth.
• Thumb Screw Scale shift knob makes moving the scale easier. By adjusting the measuring mouth to a size that fits the desired size of the object.
• Depth Measuring Blade Used to measure the depth of holes in objects.
