Measure Marble Caliper

Bob and sparky explain how to read metric vernier calipers.

Measure marble caliper.

Measure marbles with a caliper. In this video i want to show you how i can get good measurements with my digital calipers. The second animation is incorrect because the calipers are not perpendicular to the surfaces being measured. Now let us use this vernier calipers to measure the diameter d of a marble ball marble balls usually have d 1 2 in.

They used the ruler to measure the outer and inner diameter of the washer then recorded the measurement along with an uncertainty. Make sure the calipers are perpendicular to the surface being measured. In terms of the main measuring jaws they can display both the inside and outside dimensions of an object with ease and you can even use the back edge for step measurements or set it to zero for comparing two measurements. I will cover measuring an outside dimension an inside dimension and depth height of a step.

Taking a step measurement. Calipers come in metal or plastic and many measure in millimeters or metric units. In the animations above the depth gauge is being used to measure the distance from the surface of an aluminum part to the desk below it. The measurement is shown in the gure 2.

Measuring with vernier calipers calipers which can be used to measure the external size of an object are comprised of a pair of jaws one attached to a fixed scale or main scale and the other attached to a sliding vernier scale. Here x m0 is the distance between the jaw attached to main scale left jaw and the 0th mark on the main scale and x. Others measure in 32nds of an inch.

Lay the marble and caliper on a soft cloth or tissue so the marble will not roll.
