Mitutoyo 147-103 | Can Seam Micrometer | 0 to 13 mm, 0.01 mm
Part No. 147-103 | Mitutoyo Series 147
Product Description
The Mitutoyo 147-103 is a metric can seam micrometer designed for dimensional inspection of double seams on steel cans. Its 0–13 mm measuring range, 0.01 mm graduation and ±3 µm accuracy make it suitable for routine seam inspection in canning and packaging quality-control applications.
The slim spindle and specially shaped anvil allow direct measurement of important double-seam dimensions, including seam thickness, seam width (height) and countersink depth. The hardened steel spindle and anvil provide a durable measuring interface for repeated inspection work.
A ratchet stop helps provide consistent measuring force between readings and operators. The satin chrome sleeve and laser-etched thimble provide a clear analog reading, while the compact 65 g construction makes the micrometer convenient for frequent checks on production lines and in packaging QC areas.
The 147-103 is the metric steel-can model in the Series 147 range. For inch measurements of steel cans, see the Mitutoyo 147-104 with its 0–.5" range.

Who This Product Is Best For
The Mitutoyo 147-103 is suited to canning and packaging operations that inspect steel-can double seams, including food and beverage packaging, paint and chemical container production, packaging inspection teams and QC laboratories.
It is useful where metric measurements are required for routine checks of seam thickness, seam width and countersink depth against the applicable manufacturing or quality-control specification.
How to Use
-
Close the micrometer gently using the ratchet stop and check the zero reading before measurement.
-
Position the shaped anvil and spindle around the double-seam area to be inspected.
-
Turn the ratchet until the measuring faces contact the seam and the ratchet operates consistently.
-
Read the sleeve and thimble to determine the measured dimension.
-
Record the result and compare it with the applicable seam specification.
-
Repeat measurements at the required inspection locations according to your quality-control procedure.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Mitutoyo 147-103 measure?
The 147-103 measures double-seam thickness, seam width (height) and countersink depth on steel cans.
What is the measuring range of the Mitutoyo 147-103?
The 147-103 has a 0–13 mm metric measuring range with 0.01 mm graduation.
How accurate is the Mitutoyo 147-103?
Mitutoyo specifies ±3 µm accuracy for the 147-103.
Which Mitutoyo Series 147 model is for steel cans?
The 147-103 is the metric model for steel cans. For inch measurements of steel cans, the 147-104 provides a 0–.5" range.
How is the 147-103 different from other Series 147 models?
The 147-103 is specifically the metric steel-can model. The 147-104 is the inch steel-can version, while the 147-105 is for aluminium cans and the 147-202 is for spray and aerosol cans.
Why are double-seam dimensions checked?
Double-seam measurements help packaging and production teams verify seam dimensions against applicable manufacturing specifications and identify dimensional variation that may require further inspection or process adjustment.
