Overview

Calipers and verniers are precision measuring tools used to measure the dimensions of an object with a high degree of accuracy. They are commonly used in engineering, machining, and metalworking. Vernier calipers feature a main scale and a sliding vernier scale, which allows for precise measurements of internal, external, and depth dimensions.

FAQ

What should I consider when buying a used caliper or vernier?

Check for any signs of wear or damage, ensure the scales are legible, and verify that the measuring surfaces are smooth and free of burrs. It's also important to test the accuracy of the measurements.

How do I ensure safe shipping for a caliper or vernier?

Pack the caliper or vernier in a protective case with cushioning material to prevent any movement during transit. Use a reliable shipping service that handles delicate instruments carefully.

What is the maintenance schedule for calipers and verniers?

Regular maintenance includes cleaning the measuring surfaces after use, storing the tool in a protective case, and periodically checking the accuracy with a gauge block or standard. Lubricate moving parts as needed to ensure smooth operation.
