    Precision Measuring Tools: Form 3 Physics Mr. Borges

    Uploaded by

    Mr. Borges
    The document discusses precision measuring tools like vernier calipers and micrometers. A vernier caliper is used to measure external and internal diameters and depths using outside jaws, inside jaws, and a depth probe. It has main scales marked in millimeters and inches/fractions that allow interpolated measurements down to 1/10 mm or fractional inches using a vernier scale. A micrometer is also mentioned but not described.

    Vernier Caliper

    Outside jaws: used to measure external


    diameter or width of an object
    Inside jaws: used to measure internal
    diameter of an object
    Depth probe: used to measure depths of an
    object or a hole
    Main scale: scale marked every mm
    Main scale: scale marked in inches and
    fractions
    Vernier gives interpolated measurements to
    1/10 mm or better
    Vernier gives interpolated measurements in
    fractions of an inch
    Retainer: used to block movable part to allow
    the easy transferring of a measurement
