8″ VERNIER CALIPER

FEATURES

• VERNIER CALIPER 0

The vernier caliper is one of the most widely used mechanical instruments for linear measurement of exteriors, interiors and depths. It is believed that the vernier scale was invented by a Portuguese named Petrus Nonius. The current vernier caliper was developed later, in 1631 by Pierre Vernier.
The vernier or vernier that current calipers have allow easy readings up to 0.05 or 0.02 mm and 0.001″ or 1/128″ depending on the graduation system used (metric or English).

• APPLICATIONS
The main applications of a standard vernier are commonly: exterior measurement, interior measurement, depth measurement and in some calipers depending on the design, step measurement.
The accuracy of a vernier caliper is mainly due to the accuracy of the graduation of its scales, the design of the cursor guides, the parallelism and perpendicularity of its feelers, The workmanship and technology in their manufacturing process.
Vernier calipers typically have a satin chrome finish, which eliminates glare. They are constructed of stainless steel, which reduces corrosion, or carbon steel. The hardness of the feeler surfaces ranges between 550 and 700 Vickers, depending on the material used and standards.
