Knowledge about Vernier caliper

In toolroom, die-making, model-making, and similar applications , vernier calipers are very important though they are the simplest of vernier measuring instruments.

Vernier calipers are slide calipers which have a vernier scale on it. We need a fine adjustment and a means for a zero setting as the vernier increases its discrimination to 0.02 mm (1 mil, 0.001 in.). Some instruments are graduated on one side for inside measurement and on the other side for outside measurement for convenience. Most of the vernier calipers attached with thin nibs for small inside measurement.
