EXPERIMENT #12

VERNIER CALIPER

Object: Introduction of Vernier caliper, measuring the diameters, length and breadth
metallic box, cylinder and bob.

Materials Required.

1. Vernier caliper
2. A spherical body ( it can be a pendulum bob)
3. A cylinder
4. A small rectangular metallic block of known mass
5. A beaker or a calorimeter.
DEFINITION:

A Vernier scale (Vernier Caliper) is a visual aid to take an accurate measurement reading
between two graduation markings on a linear scale by using mechanical interpolation; thereby
increasing resolution and reducing measurement uncertainty by using Vernier acuity to reduce
human estimation error.

PROCEDURE:

Figure. 1: Vernier Caliper

1. We'll first determine the Vernier constant (VC), which is the least count (LC) of the
Vernier caliper and record it stepwise as in the equation, L.C = 1 MSD - 1 VSD.
2. Now, bring the movable jaw in close contact with the fixed jaw and find the zero error.
Do this three times and record die values. If there is no zero error, then record 'zero error
nil’.
3. Open the jaws of the Vernier Caliper and place the sphere or cylinder between the two
jaws and adjust the movable jaw, such that it gently grips the body without any undue
pressure on it. That done tightens the screw attached to the Vernier scale.
4. Note the position of the zero mark of the Vernier scale on the main scale. Record the
main scale reading just before the zero mark of the Vernier scale. This reading (N) is
called main scale reading (MSR).
5. Note the number (n) of the Vernier scale division which coincides with the division of
the main scale
6. You'll have to repeat steps 5 and 6 after rotating the body by 90° for measuring the
diameter in a perpendicular direction.
7. Repeat steps 4 to 7 for three different positions and record the observations.
8. Now find total reading using the equation, TR = MSR+VSR = N+(n x L.C) and apply
the zero correction.
9. Take the mean of the different values of the diameter and show that in the result with the
proper unit.
10. Note:
To measure the internal diameter of a calorimeter or beaker, place the beaker upside down
over the internal jaws of the Vernier calipers.Then repeat the steps 4 to 8.

To find the 'Depth' of the beaker, move the metallic strip till it touches the bottom of the
beaker. Then repeat steps 4 to 8. .

Formula for least count = L.C = M.S.D. - V.S.D.
