    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.

    Use of Vernier Caliper

    Vernier Caliper can be used to measure diameter, thickness very accurately.

    Different Parts of Vernier Caliper

    Inside jaws

    Main Scale

    Depth Gauge

    Vernier Scale Outside jaws

    Measuring Internal Diameter


    Use the inside jaws of the caliper as shown

    Measuring External Diameter


    Use the outside jaws of the caliper as shown

    Measuring Depth of a Hole


    Use the depth gauge of the caliper as shown

    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

    What is the reading in the caliper shown? Please click on one of the following answer.
