3 Imperial Vernier Calipers

Below is a 17-minute video on how to use, calibrate and read imperial calipers. A short 5-question quiz is below the video. Click on “Start Quiz” to begin. You can take the quiz as many times as you like and have the option to check each answer immediately or review the results at the end. Vernier Calipers can offer the versatility to measure both internal and external dimensions and depths with a reasonably high level of accuracy. This versatility makes calipers (usually digital) the most commonly used measuring tool in machine shops.

For additional practice and resources, a PowerPoint presentation with practice questions is under Additional Measurement Resources.
