A vernier height gauge is used to measure vertical dimensions from a reference surface, usually a surface plate.

A vernier height gauge consists of a graduated scale or beam mounted vertically on a finely ground and rigid base. This base ensures stability and accurate reference during measurement.

The graduated scale typically has a least count of 0.02 mm, similar to that of a vernier caliper. The method of taking measurements using a vernier height gauge is also the same as that of a vernier caliper.

The reading is obtained by observing the coincidence of the graduation line on the vernier scale with the graduation line on the main scale. When these two lines align, the corresponding value gives the correct measurement.
