I think this is meant to be "Vernier Caliper". It is an instrument used to measure objects to limits to fine to read by rule. It consists of two parts.

'

1) A metal bar engraved as a rule, with a blade at right angles to one end, so 'L-'-shaped, and

'

2) A block with a similar blade, sliding on the fixed (Part 1), so forming a pair of adjustable jaws brought into contact with the item to be measured.

On the slide is another scale, and this is the Vernier part: if it does not have this, the instrument is a caliper but not a Vernier Caliper. This Vernier scale is engraved in such a way that it has a compounding effect on the adjacent fixed rule, so magnifying the measurements to a readable equivalent.

'

The inch-series vernier can read to 1/1000", the metric version to (I think), 0.01mm. I stand to be corrected on that last because I have a metric caliper but it is digital, not vernier!

What are the parts of a burner caliper?

A typical burner caliper consists of the burner body, nozzle, mixing chamber, fuel inlet, and flame holder. The burner body is the main structure that houses all the components and directs the flame. The nozzle controls the flow rate and direction of the fuel. The mixing chamber combines the fuel and air for combustion. The fuel inlet is where the fuel is supplied to the burner. The flame holder stabilizes the flame by preventing flashback.


What causes a burner to stike back?

A burner can strike back due to an excessive flow of gas or air, causing the flame to ignite outside the burner. This can happen if the burner is not properly adjusted or if there is a blockage in the gas or air supply lines. Improper maintenance or a malfunctioning burner also increases the risk of a burner strike back.


What is more accurate in measuring the density of an object the vernier caliper or the micrometer caliper?

The micrometer caliper is generally more accurate in measuring the density of an object compared to the vernier caliper. This is because the micrometer caliper has a higher precision and can measure with greater accuracy, typically up to 0.01mm.
