The main parts of the vernier callipers are as follows —
Part | Function |
---|---|
Outside jaws | To measure the length of a rod, diameter of a sphere, external diameter of a hollow cylinder. |
Inside jaws | To measure the internal diameter of a hollow cylinder or pipe. |
Strip | To measure the depth of a beaker or a bottle. |
Main scale | To measure length correct up to 1 mm. |
Vernier scale | Helps to measure length correct upto 0.1 mm. |
