Digital Calipers - A Comparative Review

摘要

It's fair to say that, although a proportion of readers will still use mechanical vernier calipers on a regular basis, and an even larger proportion will have one sitting at the back of a drawer, the vast majority will rely on one or more pairs of digital calipers for most of their accurate measuring tasks. Digital callipers are so handy and easy to use that they even get used for the majority of jobs where a micrometer would be ideal. Even a relatively worn or cheap digital vernier will allow you to work to better tolerances than some past model engineers who had to make do with no more than a pair of simple, non-measuring, calipers and a skilled sense of touch.
