Caliper Vernier
Product Code : LSK-PL-10371
Caliper Vernier (SKU LSK-PL-10371), also called a vernier caliper, is a plated steel Columbus-type caliper with a dual metric and imperial scale for inside, outside and depth measurements. Students use it in school physics practicals, college labs and workshop training. Science Lab Supplies manufactures this caliper in Saha, Ambala, India, at its factory on Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, and quotes it directly to schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
This caliper carries a metric scale of 0–12.5 cm read to 0.1 mm and an imperial scale graduated to 5 inches in 1/128 inch steps. The Columbus-type jaws and depth rod let one tool take inside, outside and depth readings, and the body is plated steel.

Applications and Experiments for the Caliper Vernier
The caliper is used to measure small lengths, diameters and depths more precisely than a ruler, and to teach least count and zero error. It matches the first practicals of the NCERT Class 11 physics lab manual and the measurement units of B.Sc., diploma and ITI courses.
- Class 11 physics: diameter of a small sphere or cylinder, and the internal diameter and depth of a beaker.
- Finding the least count and correcting for zero error before readings.
- ITI and polytechnic workshops: checking inside, outside and depth dimensions of machined parts.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Caliper Vernier is supplied as a single instrument with its dual metric and imperial scales, outside jaws, inside jaws and depth rod as described above. Any optional accessories or larger class quantities are listed separately on the quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
You may ask for one caliper or a full set for every student bench. Our quotation gives the packing, delivery time and price for exactly that quantity, and other items from a physics lab equipment list for class 11 and 12 can be added to the same document.
With an Importer-Exporter Code as a registered exporter, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in the Philippines, Nepal, Bangladesh, Zambia, Rwanda and South Africa. For a quotation, reach us through the contact page, place the caliper in the enquiry cart, or visit the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the least count of this vernier caliper?
The metric scale reads to 0.1 mm over a 0–12.5 cm range. The imperial scale covers 5 inches and is graduated to 1/128 inch.
What can the Caliper Vernier measure?
Being a Columbus-type caliper, it takes outside measurements with its main jaws, inside measurements with its upper jaws and depth measurements with its rod.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
We are the manufacturer. Calipers are made in our Saha, Ambala factory in India, so the quotation, specification and dispatch all come from the same company that produces the instrument.
Can calipers be quoted in class sets?
Yes. State the number of calipers and the delivery location, and the quotation will show packing, delivery time and price for that quantity.
Related Measuring Instruments
Length measurement in Class 11 physics usually moves from the vernier caliper to the screw gauge and spherometer. These Physics Lab items complete that sequence and can be quoted together.
- Micrometer — 0–25 mm range read to 0.01 mm.
- Spherometer — 1 mm pitch with a 100-division disc for radius of curvature.
- Vernier Caliper — stainless steel model with 0.01 mm resolution.
- Measuring Rulers Set — 50 cm and 100 cm rulers for longer lengths.
