Mitutoyo 147-201 Can Seam Micrometer, Spray Cans 0-0.5"
Part No. 147-201 | Mitutoyo Series 147
Product Description
The Mitutoyo 147-201 Can Seam Micrometer is a dedicated inch measuring instrument for checking double-seam dimensions on spray and aerosol cans. Its 0–.5 inch measuring range, .001 inch graduation and ±.00015 inch 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 spindle and anvil are made from hardened steel for durability in repeated inspection work. A ratchet stop helps apply consistent measuring force, supporting repeatable readings between operators and measurement cycles.
The 147-201 uses a satin chrome sleeve and laser-etched thimble for clear reading of the .001 inch graduation. Its compact 65 g construction makes it practical for frequent seam checks on production lines and packaging inspection areas.
The instrument is specifically designed for spray and aerosol cans. For the corresponding metric version, see the Mitutoyo 147-202 with a 0–13 mm measuring range.

Who This Product Is Best For
The Mitutoyo 147-201 is suitable for canning lines, aerosol filling operations, packaging manufacturers, production inspection departments and quality-control laboratories that inspect spray or aerosol can seams.
It can be used by quality inspectors checking seam dimensions during production, packaging technicians performing routine process checks and maintenance or quality teams investigating dimensional variation in finished 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 results.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Mitutoyo 147-201 measure?
The Mitutoyo 147-201 measures double-seam thickness, seam width (height) and countersink depth on spray and aerosol cans.
What is the measuring range of the 147-201?
The measuring range is 0–.5 inch with a .001 inch graduation.
How accurate is the Mitutoyo 147-201?
The specified accuracy is ±.00015 inch.
What type of cans is the 147-201 designed for?
The 147-201 is designed for spray and aerosol cans. Its seam-measuring geometry is intended for checking the double-seam dimensions of this can type.
Why are 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 147-201 is intended for spray and aerosol cans in the 0–.5 inch inch-range. Other Series 147 models are designed for different can types, so the instrument should be selected according to the can construction and applicable inspection requirements.
Is there a metric version of the 147-201?
Yes. The corresponding metric model for spray and aerosol cans is the Mitutoyo 147-202, with a 0–13 mm measuring range and 0.01 mm graduation.
