Here I have a video on how to use a vernier caliper . I have learnt the steps from this video .
I used this image as a guide to the parts as watching the video without this as a guide was rather confusing . I also used this to help me write the steps .
Step by step on how to use a vernier caliper :
Step 2 : The vernier caliper has two scales - a major scale and a vernier scale . Start by making a reading on the major scale first by seeing where the number zero lands on the major scale . | |
Don 't worry if it falls between 2 numbers - for example between 7 and 8 . Simply make the reading the number before the line ( Which in this example is the number 7 )
