We offer a range of high-quality Vernier callipers from renowned brands such as Dasqua, Accud, and Groz, among others. Our collection of Vernier callipers features precise and accurate measurement tools that are essential for professionals and enthusiasts alike.

Vernier scale: A vernier scale, named after Pierre Vernier, is a visual aid to take an accurate measurement reading between two graduation markings on a linear scale by using mechanical interpolation, thereby increasing resolution and reducing measurement uncertainty by using vernier acuity to reduce human estimation error.

How does one use a vernier?

To use a Vernier caliper, start by twisting the locking screw counterclockwise to loosen it. Then, close the jaws of the instrument all the way so you start with your scales lined up at zero. Next, open the jaws and insert an object between them, closing the jaws around it to hold it in place.

What are the advantages of using a Vernier for measurement?

Very adaptable, Vernier calipers can be used to measure inside and outside dimensions of a part as well as depth dimensions. Vernier calipers come with twin scales such that a main scale can be used with the secondary scale when measuring, thus eliminating the need for any external device like a ruler.
