They are not. You use the most suitable instrument for the task in hand.

Some people find verniers more difficult to read unless there is a digital readout.

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.

Advantage of micrometer screw than vernier calliper?

The most compelling reason to select the micrometer Screw over the Vernier caliper is the guarantee that when measuring a flexible surface, the same amount of pressure is applied between samples. The Vernier caliper has the ability to measure internal and externally, but if precision is required, the micrometer screw is the tool of choice.


What are the advantages of a vernier caliper over a meter stick and micrometer?

A vernier caliper offers greater precision and versatility compared to a meter stick and micrometer. It can measure both internal and external dimensions, as well as depths, making it suitable for various applications. Additionally, its ability to provide measurements with a resolution of up to 0.02 mm allows for more accurate readings than a typical meter stick, while still being easier to use than a micrometer for larger objects. This combination of features makes the vernier caliper a valuable tool in many fields.


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.


Which is more accurate an ordinary plastic ruler or a vernier caliper?

The vernier caliper is more accurate that a plastic ruler. That's because the caliper is designed to be used and effectively read to measure small distances. And it does this better than a "regular" ruler because it has a vernier scale built into it. It's like an "amplified ruler" attached to the device that has increased accuracy. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on the vernier caliper and to the one on the vernier scale. Check out the pictures and skim the details. You should be able to pick it up with a bit of thought.


What are the difference between meter rule vernier calipers and micrometer screw gauge?

there is a big different between the vernier caliper and micro meter caliper,the vernier caliper they can use the outside and inside measurement while the micro meter caliper it's just only use outside measurement..


What is a caliper?

Caliper is a simple measure that the two jaws and a ruler is correct. Precision caliper 1 / 128 inch is. +++ A Vernier Caliper, and the digital, non-vernier, equivalent, measures to 1/1000", much finer than 1/128".


When was the vernier caliper invented?

It is the measuring instrument it is invented by verniers its error is very small


Is an outside caliper more precise than a ruler?

It depends how accurately you can read the scale. A ruler would only be accurate to 1 mm. If the caliper has a vernier scale it should be ten times better


Why a micrometer provides more positive reading than vernier calipers?

Micrometer is having a ratchet to rotate which is pre-loaded to get standard thrust while measurement, whereas in the case of a vernier the accuracy of measurement depend on the pressure each individual applying while the measurement.


Advantage of vernier caliper than meter stick in measuring the length and the width?

It's more precise.
