It can be used to measure internal as well as external dimensions, and depths of features like steps and blind holes, in small components.

Nowadays many machinists etc use digital calipers - which are NOT vernier! - that have dual inch/metric units and often dual decimal/vulgar-fraction readings on the inch settings.

What is the vernier caliper quantity?

A vernier caliper is a precision measuring instrument used to measure dimensions such as length, depth, and internal/external diameters with high accuracy. It features a main scale and a sliding vernier scale, allowing for measurements to be taken with a resolution typically of 0.01 mm or 0.02 mm. The vernier caliper can measure both metric and imperial units, making it versatile for various applications in engineering and manufacturing.
