Vernier Callipers
Vernier Calliper or Slide Calliper is an instrument to measure the length/diameter of an
object with precission more than that we get with a millimeter scale that we normally use
for length measurement. With a normal scale we can not measure a length with accuracy
more than 1mm. With slide callipers it is possible to get more accuracy in our
measurement (typically upto 0.1mm). Essential parts and parameters of this instrument
have been described below:
