Vernier caliper is the type of caliper that makes use of a vernier scale to display the reading. This vernier scale can provide you with a resolution of .001″ (0.02 mm). It is common to find a vernier caliper with a 6″ measuring range. But you can also find the longer ones such as 8″, … Read more
It’s an amazing fact that we don’t use caliper only to measure the thickness of metal, wood, etc, but also the thickness of our skin, skin fold to be precise. Measuring our skin fold is important to measure our fat. Further, we know how ideal your body weight is. For women, surely this is an … Read more
