Calipers were set and verified at 5 mm.
What is your question?
were, set, verified
To understand the statement about calipers being set and verified at 5 mm, it means that the calipers were adjusted or manually set to measure objects with an interval of 5 mm or that the accuracy of the calipers was checked using a known calibrated object that measures 5 mm.
Calipers are precision measuring instruments used to measure the distance between two opposite sides of an object with high accuracy. They consist of two jaws, one stationary and one movable, which can be adjusted to fit the object being measured.
When setting and verifying calipers at 5 mm, it typically involves the following steps:
1. Check the zero point: Ensure that the jaws of the calipers are fully closed and aligned, with the zero point on the scale properly aligned to the zero of the vernier scale (if applicable). This step ensures that the calipers are properly zeroed before taking any measurements.
2. Set to the desired value: Open the jaws of the calipers to the desired measurement increment, which in this case is 5 mm. Adjust the movable jaw until the scale or vernier scale reads 5 mm.
3. Verify the accuracy: To confirm the accuracy of the calipers at the set measurement, use a known calibrated object with a length of 5 mm. Place the object between the jaws of the calipers and gently close them around it. The calipers should provide a reading of 5 mm when properly aligned and closed.
If the calipers are not reading 5 mm when verified with a known object, they may need to be calibrated or adjusted to ensure accuracy. Calibration may involve professional adjustment or following manufacturer instructions, depending on the type of calipers being used.
