  2. Vernier scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vernier_scale

    The use of the vernier scale is shown on a vernier caliper which measures the internal and the external diameters of an object. The vernier scale is constructed so that it is spaced at a constant fraction of the fixed main scale. So for a vernier with a constant of 0.1, each mark on the vernier is spaced 9/10 of those on the main scale.

  3. Micrometer (device) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micrometer_(device)

    Vernier micrometer reading 5.783 ± 0.001 mm, comprising 5.5 mm on main screw lead scale, 0.28 mm on screw rotation scale, and 0.003 mm added from vernier. Some micrometers are provided with a vernier scale on the sleeve in addition to the regular graduations. These permit measurements within 0.001 millimetre to be made on metric micrometers ...

  4. Calipers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calipers

    The vernier scales may include metric measurements on the lower part of the scale and inch measurements on the upper, or vice versa, in countries that use inches. Vernier calipers commonly used in industry provide a precision to 0.01 mm (10 micrometres ), or one thousandth of an inch.

  5. Traveling microscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traveling_microscope

    A metallic carriage clamped to a spring-loaded bar slides with its attached vernier and reading lens along an inlaid strip of metal scale. The scale is divided in half millimeters. Fine adjustments are made by means of a micrometer screw for taking accurate reading. Both vernier reading to 0.01mm or 0.02mm.

  6. Bore gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bore_gauge

    An inside micrometer or vernier bore gauge measures a bore directly. The gauge has three symmetrical anvils that protrude from the gauge body that are connected to the dial or micrometer mechanism. As the knob is rotated it moves the anvils in or out with respect to the measurements.

  7. Height gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Height_gauge

    The left height gauge has the vernier scale, while the right one is an electronic height gauge with a digital readout. A height gauge is a measuring device used for determining the height of objects, and for marking of items to be worked on.

  8. Microscopic scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microscopic_scale

    In physics, the microscopic scale is sometimes regarded as the scale between the macroscopic scale and the quantum scale. [2] [3] Microscopic units and measurements are used to classify and describe very small objects. One common microscopic length scale unit is the micrometre (also called a micron) (symbol: μm), which is one millionth of a metre.

  9. Nonius (device) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonius_(device)

    On a standard scale of 90 degrees, there are an additional 44–45 concentric circles, with each divided into a specific unit size such that a scale unit on position had an arc of / degrees. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Thus, the outermost quadrant would comprise 90° in 90 equal divisions, the next inner would have 89 divisions, the next 88 and so on.
