A Vernier caliper is a precision measuring tool used in various fields such as engineering, machining, and science to accurately measure linear dimensions with high precision. It consists of two main parts: the main scale and the Vernier scale. The main scale is a graduated scale, often in millimeters or inches, along the length of the caliper. The Vernier scale is a sliding secondary scale that allows for more precise measurements than what the main scale alone can provide. When measuring an object, the user adjusts the caliper jaws to fit the object between them, then reads the measurement by aligning the Vernier scale with the main scale. This alignment reveals the measurement to an accuracy of one-tenth or even one-hundredth of the smallest division on the main scale, making the Vernier caliper an essential tool for tasks requiring meticulous measurement.
