Quick Answer: The Vernier Calliper IME type is a measuring instrument that uses a main scale and a vernier scale for precise linear measurement of items such as rods, cylinders, blocks and tubes.
Last updated: October 2026
Key Features
- Main scale and vernier scale for linear measurement.
- Outer jaws for external measurement; inside and depth measurement depend on the supplied design.
- Used to teach least count, zero error and vernier scale reading.
- Suited to rods, tubes, blocks, cylinders and small apparatus parts.
- Measures small components where a standard ruler is not precise enough.
About This Product
Before use, the jaws are cleaned and closed to see whether the zero marks coincide. Students read the main scale just before the vernier zero, find the vernier division that lines up exactly with a main scale line, and calculate the result from the least count, applying zero-error correction if required. The calliper fits physics experiments, engineering basics and workshop measurement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. How is zero error checked?
Close the jaws and see whether the zero marks coincide. If they do not, apply zero-error correction when calculating the final reading.
