What Is the Dial Type Vernier Caliper Used For?
Dial calipers are the everyday measuring tool of machine shops, inspection benches and teaching labs. The outside jaws close on a shaft or plate for OD and thickness, the inside jaws open in a bore or slot for ID, the depth rod at the end measures the depth of holes and recesses, and the step faces measure shoulders. The main scale gives whole units and the dial pointer gives the fraction, so readings are taken without interpreting a vernier scale, and tightening the lock screw holds a reading. The range is chosen to suit the largest objects to be measured.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Quantity — the number of calipers required.
- Range — 150 mm (6 in) or another range between 100 mm (4 in) and 300 mm (12 in).
- Units — metric (0.02 mm) or imperial (0.001 in) graduation.
- Jaws — whether carbide-tipped OD and ID jaws are required.
Frequently Asked Questions
What can the dial caliper measure?
It measures OD, ID, depth and steps, reading the distance between two opposite sides of an object directly on the dial.
Which measuring ranges are available?
The most common range is 150 mm (6 in), and calipers with ranges between 100 mm (4 in) and 300 mm (12 in) are also available.
What graduation does the dial have?
Metric versions are graduated in 0.02 mm and imperial versions in 0.001 in, and the graduation is normally indicated on the face of the dial.
What does the lock screw do?
The lock screw holds the dial bezel and the sliding jaw in position, so a reading can be kept while the caliper is withdrawn from the work.
Are carbide jaws offered?
Yes. Models are available with carbide-tipped OD and ID jaws, and the calipers are supplied in a fitted plastic case.
How should the range be chosen?
Choose the range from the approximate size of the objects to be measured; larger objects need a caliper with a larger measuring range.
