Virtual dial caliper in millimeter - simulator of use

Use, reading and interpretation of dial caliper in millimeter

0.01 mm resolution (one hundredth of millimeter)

Caliper is a linear measuring instrument with a scale and a slider that slides on it. It is designed to take external linear measurements by contact. It
can also measure internal dimensions, depths, bumps, among others.

The main scale of this simulator is graduated in centimeter, which is divided into tenths (millimeter).

In the dial, the pointer gives a full turn (360 °) every millimeter of advance and its dial has a hundred divisions. In this way, each stroke that the
pointer “sweeps” represents the feed rate of 1/100 of the millimeter or one hundredth of a millimeter.
One advantage of adopting the watch to increase the resolution of the caliper is that it allows the display to rotate, after unlocking, to adjust the
instrument and facilitate the inspection of the tolerance of several pieces without the need to interpret each one.

This instrument, as a rule, can not replace the micrometer with hundredth resolution, since its accuracy

(imprecision between presented and actual value) is greater than that of resolution.
