A micrometer is more accurate but it is only suitable for very small objects. For example, you could not measure the length of a credit card to any degree of accuracy using a standard micrometer.

Vernier calipers typically have an accuracy of around 0.02 mm or 0.001 inches, depending on the quality of the instrument. However, proper technique and calibration are essential for obtaining accurate measurements. Regular maintenance and calibration checks can help ensure reliable readings.

Takes some skill to use a vernier! So can't say, will depend on your skill level! By micrometer caliper You meen dial type caliper! A micrometer and a caliper are apples and Oranges

vernier scale zero and main scale zero are not coincide with each other means, the instrument has zero error.

They do come in different sizes, with about 150-200 mm being very common.

What is the zero reading of a vernier caliper?

The zero reading of a vernier caliper is when the jaws are closed and the main scale '0' mark aligns perfectly with the zero mark on the vernier scale. This is the reference point for taking measurements with the vernier caliper.


If a vernier caliper has zero reading of 0.025 cm and the caliper reads 5.565 cm what should be the correct reading?

If a vernier caliper has zero reading of 0.025 cm and the caliper reads 5.565 cm what should be the correct reading? 5.565 - 0.025 = 5.54 so caliper reads 5.54 cm If the zero reading on the vernier calipers is -0.025 cm with the reading still 5.565cm, it is 5.565 - (-0.025) = 5.565 + 0.025 = 5.59 cm


What are the difference between meter rule vernier calipers and micrometer screw gauge?

there is a big different between the vernier caliper and micro meter caliper,the vernier caliper they can use the outside and inside measurement while the micro meter caliper it's just only use outside measurement..


What does the smallest division on the main scale of the vernier caliper correspond to?

The smallest division on the main scale of a vernier caliper typically corresponds to 1 millimeter. The vernier scale allows for more precise measurements by measuring to the nearest 0.1 millimeter.


Can you use the tail of the vernier caliper to measure the depth of the test tube?

No, the tail of a vernier caliper is used to measure inside dimensions like holes or pipes, not depth. To measure the depth of the test tube, you would need to use the main scale and the vernier scale on the caliper's jaws.
