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

Description

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). 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. More complex calipers use two sets of jaws instead of legs and have up to two graduated scales. Calipers measure the distance between two opposing sides of an object. 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. Calipers are commonly used in architecture, metalworking, mechanical engineering, and machining. 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. Standard upper jaws measure outer diameter (OD), while the lower rounded nib-style jaws measure inner diameter (ID). Mitutoyo manufactures precision measuring tools, metrology equipment, and systems. 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. They make inside, outside, depth, or step measurements, according to their type.

Key Features

• In making inside diameter (ID) measurements, the round outside surface of each ID nib fits closely against curve of the inside surface being measured.
• 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.
• 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).
• 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.
• 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.
