Use of Vernier Caliper

The Vernier caliper can accurately measure diameter and thickness. It has main and Vernier scales, inside and outside jaws, and a depth gauge. To measure internal diameter, use the inside jaws. For external diameter, use the outside jaws. The depth gauge is used to measure holes. To take a reading, align the Vernier scale with the main scale to get the accurate measurement within 0.01 mm.

Reading the Vernier Scale


Read the 0 position of the vernier scale on the main scale to get a rough reading. Rough reading = 18mm

Look along the vernier scale until one of the vernier division coincides with the main scale Accurate reading = 18.46mm0.01 mm
