The correct spelling would be vernier callipers, or vernier calipers depending on which country you come from. They are used for measuring the inner distance between two surfaces. (e.g. if your tube material is 1 cm thick, and 5 cm across on the outside surface, the vernier calipers would show a distance of 3 cm.

∙ 9y agoA caliper is a device used to measure very small lengths of the order of one tenth of a mm and micro meter ie one thousandth of a milli meter. Such a device was first designed by Vernier. Hence the name. Though a milli meter gap cannot be divided into equal parts using an additional scale such a division could be done virtually. Thanks to Vernier.

Is vernier calipers used to measure length?
Vernier Calipers are instruments that are used measure length. It is an instrument that provides a digit of accuracy.
What is the material of vernier caliper?
Vernier Caliper are made with different materials even plastic vernier calipers are also available in market however generally stainless steel is used in making of vernier calipers
What are the Basic concepts of Vernier calipers?
A Vernier caliper has many parts. Some of the main parts include an inside jaw, which performs measurements, the depth probe, which finds the depth, and outside jaws, which measure external lengths.
Why a micrometer provides more positive reading than vernier calipers?
Micrometer is having a ratchet to rotate which is pre-loaded to get standard thrust while measurement, whereas in the case of a vernier the accuracy of measurement depend on the pressure each individual applying while the measurement.
Is used to find the length of a pencil eraser-vernier caliper or screw gauge?
Former i.e. Vernier Caliper

Why vernier calipers is called vernier calipers?
Because the secondary scale, which gave the calipers it accuracy, was designed by the French mathematician Pierre Vernier.
Why is it more convenient to use the vernier calipers than external and internal calipers?
Vernier calipers is more convenient to use compared to the external and internal calipers because vernier caliper by its own could be used as external and internal calipers. When using Vernier caliper you can identify the measurement withtout using ruler, meter stick etc. but the internal and external calipers rely on measuring tools to know the exact measurement... (*Ivan Richmond Jumawan*).
Who found the vernier calipers?
I guess it is found by vernier as it works on vernier theory -Manasa
Why is a vernier caliper used to measure length?
Vernier calipers are used to measure length when quite accurate measurement is required, but not such accuracy as to require a micrometer.
Does England have vernier calipers?
Vernier calipers are in use in machine shops throughout the world. Of course, they are gradually being replaced by digital calipers but, plenty are still in use in England.
Vernier calipers are manufactured with what scales?
The modern vernier caliper reads to thousandths of an inch
