What is Vernier Calibration?
A vernier or vernier caliper is a precision measuring instrument used to accurately measure linear dimensions, depths, and diameters. These devices are widely used across various industries, including manufacturing, engineering, and healthcare. Calibration of vernier calipers ensures they maintain measurement accuracy down to fractions of a millimetre.
Why is calibration important for vernier calipers?
Vernier calipers are essential for quality control and precision measurements. Over time, wear and environmental factors can lead to slight inaccuracies. Regular calibration ensures:
- Consistent measurement accuracy
- Compliance with industry standards
- Reliable performance for critical applications
- Early detection of wear or mechanical drift
