WHAT DOES VERNIER SCALE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

vernier scale

Vernier scale

A vernier scale is a device that lets the user measure more precisely than could be done by reading a uniformly-divided straight or circular measurement scale. It is scale that indicates where the measurement lies in between two of the marks on the main scale. Verniers are common on sextants used in navigation, scientific instruments used to conduct experiments, machinists' measuring tools used to work materials to fine tolerances, and on theodolites used in surveying. An enlarged view of the above caliper shows it has a resolution—or precision—of 0.02 mm. The reading is 3.58 mm. The 3 mm is read off from the upper data scale. The 0.58 mm is obtained from the lower indicating scale at the point of closest alignment between the two scales. The superimposed red markings show where the readings are taken. Note In this photograph, parallax error makes it unclear whether the correct value is 0.58 mm or 0.60 mm...
