Mitutoyo 536-101 Vernier Caliper, Stainless Steel, Pipe Measuring Jaw, 0-150mm Range, +/-0.05mm Accuracy, 0.05mm Resolution

The Mitutoyo 536 series offset vernier caliper has a sliding main scale jaw for measurement in metric units of step sections, for applications requiring high levels of accuracy, especially in scientific research and in industries where parts must fit exactly. The caliper has two sets of jaws and a dual vernier scale, with both the upper and lower scales measuring in metric units. It has four-way measurement capability, with a moveable main scale jaw for recording outside dimension (OD), inside dimension (ID), and step measurements, and a butt-end depth gauge. The scales are raised to slide easily and protect the graduation markings. A thumbwheel permits fast and easy measuring. A clamping screw on the upper scale rotates to control scale movement and locks to hold the sliding jaw’s position. The caliper is made of hardened, corrosion-resistant steel and meets Federal Accuracy Specifications GGG-C-111B.Calipers measure the distance between two opposing sides of an object. They make inside, outside, depth, or step measurements, according to their type. Calipers are commonly used in architecture, metalworking, mechanical engineering, and machining. The simplest calipers have two legs to mark the two points and require a ruler to take the measurement. More complex calipers use two sets of jaws instead of legs and have up to two graduated scales. Vernier, dial, and digital calipers give direct and accurate readings and are functionally identical, having a calibrated scale with a fixed jaw, and another jaw with a movable pointer that slides along the scale. The vernier caliper has a scale sliding parallel to the main scale for an additional, fractional reading to improve measurement precision. The dial caliper has a circular dial with a pointer on a toothed gear rack replacing the second vernier scale. As with the vernier, this second measurement is added to the reading from the main scale to obtain the result. The digital caliper takes a differential by zeroing the display at any point along the slide, with an LCD that displays a single value in English and/or metric units. Mitutoyo manufactures precision measuring tools, metrology equipment, and systems. The company was founded in Tokyo in 1934 and formed Mitutoyo America Corporation in 1963, which is headquartered in Aurora, IL.

• Dual metric reading scales, for ease of measurement
• Four-way measurement capability, for outside diameter (OD), inside diameter (ID), step, and depth measurements
• Main scale jaw slides up and down to allow for measurement of hard-to-access stepped sections
• Hardened, corrosion-resistant steel construction for protection of caliper components
• Raised sliding surfaces for preventing defacement and wear of scale graduations
