Tips for best results

For accurate readings, ensure surfaces are clean and dry, gently close the jaws and lock the scale when you’ve achieved contact, then read the main scale and vernier scale together. Zero the caliper before starting a measurement, and store it in its carded packaging or a protective case to maintain precision over time.
