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.

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.
What instrument can be used to measure both internal and external diameter?
A caliper is a tool that can be used to measure both internal and external diameter accurately. It consists of two arms with measuring jaws that can be adjusted to fit the size of the object being measured. The different types of calipers include digital, dial, and Vernier calipers.
Who found the vernier calipers?
