The best way to save for retirement in your 30s is to use your increasing earning power to boost (and protect) your 401(k) and IRA contributions—two accounts that will pay you back for years to ...
TESA dial caliper. Instead of using a vernier mechanism, which requires some practice to use, the dial caliper reads the final fraction of a millimeter or inch on a simple dial. In this instrument, a small, precise rack and pinion drives a pointer on a circular dial, allowing direct reading without the need to read a vernier scale. Typically ...
The title and lede of this article need further consideration. The article uses "caliper" and "calipers" interchangeably, and that seems to also be general usage. Which word should properly be used for what -- what is the difference -- what is the history of this? -96.237.1.235 14:53, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
When using a micrometer to set a dial bore gauge, the accuracy of the measurement will be 0.002 inches or 0.0508 millimeters. A ring gauge can be used to obtain higher accuracy at a higher cost and higher time requirement. When a dial bore gauge is set using a ring gauge, overall accuracy can be within 0.0001 inches or 0.00254 millimeter. [2]

Conical-tip ones ease measurement of center-to-center distances between hole centers. A stack of gauge blocks with external caliper-jaw accessories, all clamped together, acts as a quickly assembled custom-size go or no-go gauge. A special gauge block stone that cannot damage the surface is used to remove nicks and burrs to maintain ...
Ideal test indicator pushed. Prior to modern geared dial mechanisms, test indicators using a single lever or systems of levers were common. The range and precision of these devices were generally inferior to modern dial type units, with a range of 10/1000 inch to 30/1000 inch, and precision of 1/1000 inch being typical.
The best estimate is 27.9 graduations. The reading then would be 5.00 (exact) + 0.5 (exact) + 0.279 (estimate) = 5.779 mm (estimate). As the last digit is an "estimated tenth", both 5.780 mm and 5.778 mm are also reasonably acceptable readings but the former cannot be written as 5.78 mm or, by the rules for significant figures , it is then ...
