What is a caliper used for?
to make a precise measurement of volume
to make a temperature measurement with low precision
to make a volume measurement with low precision
to make a precise measurement of length
Calipers are used to make a precise measurement of length such as diameters of circular solids, such as the diameter of a pipe.
All calipers may be used to take the same measurements, that is the inside, outside, depth and the step measurements.Those calipers such as vernier caliper that can be used to measure the external size of an object have a pair of jaws.
Vernier caliper is a type of caliper that is used to precisely measure outside dimensions such as length, width, or diameter.
