Application:
The Vernier calliper is used to give a direct reading of the distance measured with high accuracy and precision.
Features:
- Metric and Imperial Capabilities
- Made from high-quality stainless steel
Before using a Vernier calliper:
- Make sure the workpiece being measuring is clean and has no burrs on the edges
- Make sure the lathe is switched off when measuring a workpiece in a lathe
- The temperature of the workpiece is required to be around 20°C to have consistent measuring results
- Precision measuring tools should never be put near a magnetic area to avoid the Vernier calliper from being magnetized
How to use and read a digital Vernier calliper:
- Close the jaws completely and switch on the Vernier calliper
- Press the zero button to calibrate the digital readout.
- Some digital Vernier callipers have the option of selecting the UNIT from either imperial or metric. There are also digital Vernier callipers available with fractural readout (used when working with imperial units) select the correct measuring unit
- Open the jaws of the calliper and position both jaws firmly to the ends of the piece being measured
- Tighten the locking screw so that the jaws don't move
- Switch the Vernier calliper OFF when not in use
This method can be used to measure:
- Depth by using the stem
- Inner dimensions by using the inner jaws
- Outer dimensions by using the outer jaws
The digital display will flash to indicate a low-level battery:
Handling and care of Vernier callipers:
- The inside faces of the jaws and the outside tips must be treated with great care. The tool will no longer give accurate readings if the jaws are bent or worn
- Wipe the faces of the Vernier calliper clean from dust or dirt
- The accuracy should be periodically checked by measuring a known dimension
- A Vernier calliper is a measuring instrument and should be safely stowed away to prevent any damage that might occur
