Use of the vernier caliper in millimeter with resolution of 0.02 mm (metrical sistem) - simulator

simulator for practice in use and interpreting: Vernier caliper in millimeter with resolution of 0.02 mm (two hundredths of a millimetre)

The slide caliper is a measuring instrument with a scale and a cursor that drift into it. It was designed to take external linear dimensions, by contact between two opposing sides. With less accuracy, it also measures internal dimensions, depths, bumps, among other.

The scale of this simulation is graduated in centimeters, which is divided into tenths (millimeter). The nonius divide the millimeter by fifty (1/50), marking the 0.02 mm (two hundredths of a millimeter).
