OBJECTIVES Use and describe how to use vernier scale and calipers Use and describe how to use micrometer screwgauge

VERNIER CALIPER Outside jaw Inside jaw Locking nut Vernier scale Roller Main scale Tail

TYPES OF VERNIER CALIPER 1.Basic vernier caliper 2. Long Jaw vernier caliper

TYPES OF VERNIER CALIPER 3. Knife Edge vernier caliper 4. Chiesel Shape vernier caliper

VERNIER CALIPER 1.Vernier caliper is used to measure the: a) the external diameter of an object b) the internal diameter of an object c) depth of a tube 2. It is used to measure length to the nearest 0.01 cm or 0.1 mm

SCALES IN A VERNIER CALIPER Main scaleVernier scale

HOW TO USE A VERNIER CALIPER 1. Slide the vernier scale along the main scale so that an object can be inserted into the jaws (inside or outside jaw)

HOW TO USE A VERNIER CALIPER 2. Read the main scale up to the zero line of the vernier scale

HOW TO USE A VERNIER CALIPER 3. Read the vernier scale by looking for the line in the vernier scale which is exactly opposite any line in the main scale on.blond/Vern.APPLET/
