A standard Micrometer using the Metric system has a limitation of measuring to within 0.01 (one hundredth of a millimeter)

But micrometers provided with a vernier scale on the sleeve in addition to the regular graduations, permit measurements to within 0.001 millimetre to be made on metric micrometers, or 0.0001 inches on inch-system micrometers.

Why hand micrometer conforms to the principles of alignment and a vernier caliper does not?

micrometer conforms to abbe's principle because the graduations are located along the same axis as the measurement while vernier caliper does not because the graduations are not on the same axis as the measurement.


Why is a vernier caliper used to measure length?

Vernier calipers are used to measure length when quite accurate measurement is required, but not such accuracy as to require a micrometer.

What is a conclusion about micrometer and vernier caliper?

In case for micrometer, principle of pitch is used. Least count could be even micro meter But in vernier caliper, difference of main scale division and vernier scale division is the principle Least count could be 0.02 mm


Does the level of accuracy obtained from using a vernier caliper different from other measuring tool?

It is less than a micrometer but greater than a non vernier caliper or ruler.
