jaws
The jaws are used to hold the object of which the diameter is to be measured. There are two jaws; the upper jaws are used to measure the inner diameter while the lower jaws are used to measure the outer diameter.
How do you measure the diameter of a cylinder using a vernier caliper?
Procedure
- Determine the vernier constant (V.C.)
- Bring the movable jaw BD in close contact with the fixed jaw AC and find the zero error.
- Open the jaws, place the sphere or cylinder between the two jaws A and B and adjust the jaw DB, such that it gently grips the body without any undue pressure on it.
What is used to measure the external diameter of a measuring cylinder?
Explanation: The upper inside jaws of Vernier calipers are used to measure the internal diameter of bottle neck, ring or hollow cylinder.
What is the name of measuring device which is used to measure the external diameter of the above picture *?
Calipers
Calipers. They are usually of two types- inside and outside calliper. They are used to measure internal and external size (e.g. diameter) of an object.
What does the vernier caliper measure?
Figure 3 shows a common use for a vernier called a vernier caliper. This caliper can measure the outside diameter of an object (outside vernier), the inside diameter of a hole (inside caliper), or the depth of a hole (depth probe).
Which part of Vernier micrometre is marked with Vernier scale graduation?
The main scale reading is the first reading on the main scale immediately to the left of the zero of the vernier scale (3 mm), while the vernier scale reading is the mark on the vernier scale which exactly coincides with a mark on the main scale (0.7 mm).
What is external diameter?
The outer diameter (OD) of a hollow circular pipe is the measurement of the outside edges of the pipe passing through its center. Outer diameter is also known as outside diameter or external diameter.
Which instrument is used to measure the external diameter of a test tube?
A Vernier caliper is an instrument used to measure both the outer and inner diameters of a tube. The Vernier calipers have main jaws and smaller jaws, the main jaws can be used to measure the outer diameter while the smaller jaws can be used to measure the internal diameter of a given test tube.
What is the name of the system of measurement used by the United States?
The U.S. is one of the few countries globally which still uses the Imperial system of measurement, where things are measured in feet, inches, pounds, ounces, etc.
How is a Vernier caliper used?
The Vernier calipers are used to measure the inner and outer breadth of rods and domains and thickness of any sort of object accurately. The Vernier calipers can also be utilized to measure deepness of holes and objects which can be too hard to do with any other scale.
