A vernier balance is a measuring tool with a second scale next to the primary scale, invented by Pierre Vernier in 1631. It improves accuracy by aligning the vernier mark with the primary scale. It is used in micrometers, calipers, weighing devices, and other tools for precision measurement. Vernier scales can be flat or rotary, […]

What’s a vernier caliper?

A vernier caliper is a precise measuring device commonly used in scientific laboratories. It has two scales, with the vernier scale adding an extra digit of precision. The device needs to be calibrated correctly and can measure in both American and Metric systems. A vernier caliper is a measuring device that uses a vernier scale, […]

What’s a vernier height gauge?

A vernier height gauge is a tool used for precise vertical measurements in metalworking and related industries. It uses a sliding vernier scale to augment a fixed scale for higher measurement resolution. It often has an engraving tool for marking identical measurements and can be adjusted for continued accuracy. Digital height gauges are an alternative […]
