Vernier caliper, instrument for making very accurate linear measurements. It uses two graduated scales: a main scale similar to that on a ruler and an especially graduated auxiliary scale, the vernier, that slides parallel to the main scale and enables readings to be made to a fraction of a division on the main scale.
A vernier calliper is a measuring device that is used for the measurement of linear dimensions. It is also used for the measurement of diameters of round objects with the help of the measuring jaws.
The readings are taken from the main and secondary scales. The major scale or the primary scale has measurements in millimeters, measuring up to 0.001cm.
