A Digital Caliper is made from several components, including inside/outside jaws to measure inside or outside diameters, a depth gauge, an LCD that shows the readings on a digital screen, the main scale, and a thumbwheel that moves jaws up and down the scale.
One of the jaws of a Digital Caliper is fixed, while the other slides to measure an object’s length or thickness precisely. The reading is generated electronically on a digital screen. Digital Vernier Calipers are available in different measuring ranges, materials, and types. Each part of the Digital Vernier Calipers affects its function, so while buying and looking to buy the best Digital Caliper, understanding each and every component can help buyers make the best choice.

Digital Calipers Accuracy, How to Use it, and Factors to Consider while Buying
Digital Vernier Calipers Accuracy
These instruments are known for their accurate results. For instance, a 6” Digital Caliper has a rated accuracy of 0.001″ and a resolution of 0.0005″. You can even find high-precision models at Industry buying that offer an accuracy of almost 0.05mm, which is not possible while measuring with other tools.

How to Use a Digital Vernier Caliper
If you want your measurements to be more accurate, it is essential to use your Digital Caliper properly. First, understanding the anatomy of a pair of Calipers is critical. Let us know its main measuring features.
• Outside Jaws are primarily for measuring Outside Diameter, length, and thickness.
• Inside jaws are for Inside Diameter or Cavity Length measurements.
• The Depth Gauge can be used for determining the depth of a hole or a cavity.
In order to take a measurement with a Digital Caliper, follow the simple steps below:
1. First, close the jaws so zero displays on the screen.
2. Select your desired unit of measurement (Inches/mm)
3. Repeat opening and closing the jaws a couple of times to ensure that the zero is stable.
4. Choose the jaws that you need to measure with or the depth gauge.
5. Ensure the object you are measuring is dry and clean.
6. Now place the caliper and move the jaw with the help of the thumbscrew. Never try to force measurement. Use the screw to close the jaws applying light, even pressure.
7. Note your reading, and replace the Digital Vernier Caliper in its box.

How to Choose the best Digital Caliper
Each type of caliper has its own merits and faults. Follow the tips below to help you select the best Digital Caliper suiting your requirements.
• Digital Vernier Calipers Material
Calipers are made of stainless steel, carbon, or plastic. Each material has its own benefits. Stainless steel is used more frequently, and in higher-end Digital Calipers. Steel is strong and heavy and is most common for most measuring instruments.
Carbon Calipers are lightweight and offer a moderate level of durability. These are just as strong as steel but are not as corrosion-resistant as stainless steel.
Plastic Calipers are yet another variant and are often the least expensive. But, these are also the least durable and not very accurate. These are rarely used by professionals.

• Accuracy
The most significant feature of Digital Vernier Calipers is they are able to take highly accurate measurements. These instruments can measure as small as 0.01 inches, or even 0.0005 inches, depending on the quality of the tool and the operator’s skill. However, the overall accuracy of Digital Calipers is a combination of the features of the instrument, along with the user’s skill level.

• Quality of Depth Gauge
While buying a Vernier Caliper, we usually miss the depth gauge. This is the third tool, which is a small rod that extends and retracts from the end of the caliper bar. In a low-quality caliper, the depth gauge can be extremely fragile. If you need to measure depths more, then look for a Digital Caliper with a robust depth gauge.

• Inside/Outside Jaws
Jaws are the most frequently used parts of Digital Vernier Calipers. Just like the depth gauge, the jaws move with the rotation of the thumbwheel. If you want to have accurate measurements, Digital Calipers should have a sturdy pair of inside and outside jaws. While you finalize a caliper, pay special attention towards the quality of jaws.

• Additional Features
Along with essential features, Digital Vernier Calipers also have some additional features, including:
• Larger Display Screen
• Locking screws that lock jaws, keeping them in place
• Automatic shut-off feature to save battery
• Data transfer port to transfer measurements to a specialized software
• Special reset button to rest the display measurement to zero

• Ease of Use
Vernier Calipers are soft instruments, and taking detailed measurements can be tedious more often. So users look for calipers that are easy to use and are handy. You can look for Digital Calipers with polished stainless steel parts and a large thumbwheel that provide ease of use.
