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

Description

Although identical to dial and vernier calipers in their ability to make precise measurements, the digital calipers LCD increases reading reliability. 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). Mitutoyo manufactures precision measuring tools, metrology equipment, and systems. 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 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. As with the vernier, this second measurement is added to the reading from the main scale to obtain the result. Standard upper jaws measure outer diameter (OD), while the lower rounded nib-style jaws measure inner diameter (ID). More complex calipers use two sets of jaws instead of legs and have up to two graduated scales. The company was founded in Tokyo in 1934 and formed Mitutoyo America Corporation in 1963, which is headquartered in Aurora, IL. 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.

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.
• 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.
• Standard upper jaws measure outer diameter (OD), while the lower rounded nib-style jaws measure inner diameter (ID).
