∙ 6y agoThere are a number of advantages and disadvantages of using Vernier caliper. The pros include easy to use, simple to understand and it is portable. As for cons, the accuracy is not definite, it may cause serious injuries while using it and so much more.

The pros yes - the cons, no. Completely wrong. Provided the instrument is of reputable manufacture, and used and looked after properly, it is very accurate down to its limit of resolution: typically 1/1000" or 0.01mm. As for the risk of serious injury - if you think that you do not know how to use it. The worst you might do is scratch your hand on the jaw points, anyway. The only other real "con" I can think of is that if your eye-sight is weakening the vernier is not so easy to read.

Another is as it gets older the stop that you use to hold the tape against a piece of lumber becomes loose with age and can give an inacco=urate measurement in critical situations where an exact measurement is crucial like in a cove moulding outside corner cut.

Why is it appropriate to use the meter rule for measuring the length of a copper wire but the micrometer screwgauge for the diameter?
A meter rule is apropriate as it can measure up to unlimited meter while micrometer is suitable for diameter since it has a high degree of accuracy to small diameters in millimeters.
What are vernier calipers used for?
The correct spelling would be vernier callipers, or vernier calipers depending on which country you come from. They are used for measuring the inner distance between two surfaces. (e.g. if your tube material is 1 cm thick, and 5 cm across on the outside surface, the vernier calipers would show a distance of 3 cm.
What is the analog meter movement?
Has hand instead of digital.
What is micro meter least count?
Generally least count of micrometer varies instrument to instrument.. But common micrometers which are used in institute level laboratories have least count of 0.0001mm
Construct a forward reading vernier scale to read distance up to a Decca meter with representative factor 140000 and long enough to measure 6 km Mark 3.37 km and 5.75 m?
this sounds like homework?
What is vernier micrometer least count in inch?
micro meter least count in British system
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
What is the advantage in measuring with vernier caliper and the micrometer?
My mooom and the advantage in meausurung with vernier caliper and the micro meter is grams mass length volume and all that measuring stuff
Why cannot a meter scale be used instead of a vernier calliper?
It can, but the vernier is capable of a more accurate reading.
Advantage and disadvantage using meter stick vernier caliper and the micrometer caliper?
A meter stick caliper is very large and would make general measurements. A micrometer caliper is much smaller and can be used to make much smaller measurements.
What are the advantages of micrometer?
A micrometer (device) measures distance more accurately with more precision than a vernier or a tape measure. It is much cheaper than using an electron microscope, which can measure, with calibration, a length in the order of 1E-9 meter. A micrometer (unit) is equal to 1E-6 meter.
What instrument measures small distance in SI?
Just say it in Latin: Micrometer. Micro = small, Meter is measure. Vernier calipers do a good job also.
What is bigger a meter or a micrometer?
A meter is larger than a micrometer.
How is a micrometer related to a millimeter?
A millimeter is a thousandth of a meter. a micrometer is 10 ^-6 of a meter. thus a micrometer is one-thousand of a meter
1 micrometer equals how many meters?
1 micrometer = 0.0000001 meter 1 meter = 1000000 micrometer
Is a micrometer larger or smaller than a meter?
Smaller a micrometer is 1/1,000,000 of a meter
Why is vernier caliper or a micrometer gauge more accurate for taking measurements than a meter stick?
The caliper and micrometer use a dial or digital readout to measure the distance between the tips. The tolerances of these tools can be under .001 inch, making them extremely accurate.
