Key Features
- Material: The caliper is made of brass, a durable and corrosion-resistant alloy, providing long-lasting performance and a smooth finish
- Main Scale: The main scale is a fixed part of the caliper, usually marked in millimeters or inches, and is used for taking rough measurements.
- Vernier Scale: A sliding secondary scale that moves along the main scale and allows for more precise readings, typically to an accuracy of 0.02 mm or 0.001 inches.
- Jaws: The caliper features both inside and outside measuring jaws. The outside jaws measure the external dimensions of an object, while the inside jaws measure internal dimensions, like the diameter of a hole.
- Depth Gauge: Many brass Vernier calipers also include a depth gauge for measuring the depth of holes or recesses.
Description
A Brass Vernier Caliper is a precision measuring tool used to determine the dimensions of an object, such as its internal and external diameters, depth, or length, with high accuracy. The Vernier scale is an integral part of the caliper that allows users to measure with greater precision than a standard ruler.
