Vernier Caliper
Product Code : JA-MLI-1882
The Vernier Caliper (SKU JA-MLI-1882) is a measuring instrument for work where a plain ruler is not fine enough. Its vernier scale refines the reading of the main scale, giving a least count of 1/20 mm, that is 0.05 mm. The jaws are closed lightly on the object to be measured and the reading is taken from the main and vernier scales together. Schools use this vernier caliper for measurement activities in the maths lab and for physics practicals, and JaincoLab makes it for school and college laboratories.
