Mitutoyo 147-105 Can Seam Micrometer 0-13mm
Part No. 147-105 | Mitutoyo Series 147
Product Description
The Mitutoyo 147-105 Can Seam Micrometer is a dedicated metric measuring instrument for checking double-seam dimensions on aluminium cans. Its 0–13 mm measuring range, 0.01 mm graduation and ±3 µm accuracy make it suitable for routine dimensional inspection of can seams during production and quality-control checks.
The specially shaped anvil and slim spindle are designed to access the double seam directly. The instrument can be used to check seam thickness, seam width (height) and countersink depth without requiring a section of the can to be removed for every measurement.
The 147-105 is designed for aluminium cans and their associated seam profile. The spindle and anvil are made from hardened steel for durability in repeated inspection work, while the ratchet stop helps apply consistent measuring force between measurement cycles and operators.
The instrument uses a satin chrome sleeve and laser-etched thimble for clear reading of the 0.01 mm graduation. Its compact 65 g construction makes it practical for frequent seam checks on canning lines, packaging production areas and quality-control stations.
For the corresponding inch aluminium-can model, see the Mitutoyo 147-106 with a 0–.5 inch measuring range and .001 inch graduation.

Who This Product Is Best For
The Mitutoyo 147-105 is suitable for aluminium-can manufacturers, beverage and food packaging operations, canning lines, production inspection departments and packaging quality-control laboratories.
It can be used by quality inspectors checking seam dimensions during production, packaging technicians performing routine process checks and quality teams investigating dimensional variation in finished aluminium cans.
The instrument is particularly suited to applications where seam thickness, seam width and countersink depth need to be checked repeatedly against the applicable can and seam specifications.
How to Use
-
Close the micrometer using the ratchet and check the zero position.
-
Open the spindle sufficiently to position the instrument over the double seam.
-
Place the shaped anvil and spindle correctly against the seam being inspected.
-
Turn the ratchet until the appropriate measuring force is applied.
-
Read the sleeve and thimble and record the measurement against the applicable seam specification.
-
Repeat the measurement at the required locations around the can according to your inspection procedure.
Keep the measuring surfaces clean and ensure the instrument is correctly positioned on the seam for consistent measurements.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Mitutoyo 147-105 measure?
The Mitutoyo 147-105 measures double-seam thickness, seam width (height) and countersink depth on aluminium cans.
What is the measuring range of the 147-105?
The measuring range is 0–13 mm with a 0.01 mm graduation.
How accurate is the Mitutoyo 147-105?
The specified accuracy is ±3 µm.
What type of cans is the 147-105 designed for?
The 147-105 is designed for aluminium cans. Its seam-measuring geometry is intended for checking the double-seam dimensions of this can type.
Why are aluminium-can seams measured?
Can-seam measurements help production and quality-control teams verify that seam dimensions remain within the applicable manufacturing specification. Dimensional variation can indicate a need for process adjustment or further inspection.
What is the difference between seam thickness and seam width?
Seam thickness refers to the measured thickness of the assembled double seam, while seam width or height refers to the corresponding width dimension of the seam. Countersink depth is a separate dimensional check associated with the can end and seam profile.
Which Mitutoyo Series 147 model should I choose?
The 147-105 is intended for aluminium cans in the 0–13 mm metric range. The 147-202 is designed for spray and aerosol cans, while the 147-103 is intended for steel cans. Select the model according to the can type and applicable inspection requirements.
Is there an inch version of the 147-105?
Yes. The corresponding inch aluminium-can model is the Mitutoyo 147-106, with a 0–.5 inch measuring range and .001 inch graduation.
