Mitutoyo Absolute 551-341-10 Digital Caliper, Stainless Steel, Battery Powered, Inch/Metric, NIB Style Jaw, 0-12x22 Range, +/-0.

Description

Nib-style jaws are suitable for grasping round and spherical-shaped instruments to gauge and provide clear readings up to the maximum level of accuracy. The vernier caliper has a scale sliding parallel to the main scale for an additional, fractional reading to improve measurement precision. Although identical to dial and vernier calipers in their ability to make precise measurements, the digital calipers LCD increases reading reliability. These calipers have accessible function control buttons, such as Origin-set, Zero-setting, Inch/Metric, and Data Output, and uses both inch and metric measuring systems. In making inside diameter (ID) measurements, the round outside surface of each ID nib fits closely against curve of the inside surface being measured. They make inside, outside, depth, or step measurements, according to their type. The simplest calipers have two legs to mark the two points and require a ruler to take the measurement. The caliper has Statistical Process Control (SPC) data output capability; it outputs data using a serial data interface to a computer or other dedicated recording device using SPC cable with data switch (sold separately). 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. Calipers measure the distance between two opposing sides of an object.

Key Features

• The caliper includes, and is powered by, a single SR44 silver oxide cell battery that lasts approximately 3.5 years with continuous normal use.
• Standard upper jaws measure outer diameter (OD), while the lower rounded nib-style jaws measure inner diameter (ID).
• The Mitutoyo 551 series ABSOLUTE Digimatic caliper is a digital caliper that is made of durable hardened stainless steel, uses Mitutoyos ABSOLUTE linear encoder technology, and has both standard and nib style jaws.
• Nib-style jaws are suitable for grasping round and spherical-shaped instruments to gauge and provide clear readings up to the maximum level of accuracy.
• These calipers have accessible function control buttons, such as Origin-set, Zero-setting, Inch/Metric, and Data Output, and uses both inch and metric measuring systems.
• In making inside diameter (ID) measurements, the round outside surface of each ID nib fits closely against curve of the inside surface being measured.
