very accurate results. Some of these are Vernier Caliper and Micrometer Caliper. A Vernier
caliper is a measuring device used to precisely measure linear dimensions. It is a very useful
tool to use when measuring the diameter of a round objects like cylinders because the
measuring jaws can be secured on either side of the circumference. Vernier calipers have both
a fixed main scale and a moving Vernier scale. The main scale is graduated in either millimeters
or tenths of an inch. The Vernier scale allows much more precise readings to be taken (usually
to the nearest 0.02mm or 0.001 inch) in comparison to a standard ruler (which only measures to
the nearest 1mm or 0.25 inch).
