Digital Precision Measurement Caliper

Description

This caliper uses a sliding jaw mechanism paired with an electronic display, so students and technicians can take a measurement and read the value directly on the screen without interpolating a vernier scale. The outside jaws measure thickness, width and external diameter; the smaller inside jaws measure internal openings such as the bore of a pipe or ring; and a depth rod (where fitted) measures the depth of holes and recesses.

It is used across secondary and higher-secondary physics, engineering drawing, workshop practice and general STEM measurement activities wherever a quick, accurate digital reading is preferred over manual vernier reading.

Care & Maintenance / Safety Note

• Wipe the jaws and display clean after use and store the caliper in a dry case away from dust and moisture.
• Check the zero reading with the jaws fully closed before each use and re-zero if needed.
• Avoid dropping the instrument or forcing the jaws past their travel limit, as this can affect accuracy.
• Remove the battery if the caliper will be stored for a long period, to avoid corrosion from a depleted cell.

FAQ

Q: How is a digital caliper different from a vernier caliper?
A: A digital caliper shows the measured value directly on an electronic display, while a vernier caliper requires reading a sliding scale — the digital version is generally faster to read but depends on a working battery.

Q: What is the exact measuring range of this caliper?
A: The exact range is not specified for this listing. Please contact our sales team to confirm before you order.

Q: Does it come with a battery?
A: Battery inclusion is not confirmed for this listing — please check with our sales team.

Q: How do I zero the caliper before use?
A: Close the jaws fully, wait for the display to settle, and use the zero-set control (where fitted) so subsequent readings are measured from a true zero.

Q: What subjects use a digital caliper like this?
A: It is used in physics, engineering drawing, workshop practice and other STEM courses wherever precise, easy-to-read dimensional measurement is needed.

Q: How should I store the caliper between uses?
A: Keep it clean, closed and in its case in a dry location, and remove the battery for long storage periods.
