Product Overview
The Mitutoyo 160-153 vernier caliper provides a 0–600 mm measuring range with 0.02 mm graduation and ±0.05 mm accuracy. Its extended range is designed for large flanges, shafts, fabricated components and other parts that exceed the capacity of standard 150 mm or 300 mm calipers.
Nib-style jaws allow both outside and inside measurements, including bores and slots. The long, rigid beam helps maintain stable jaw alignment across the measuring range, while the approximately 1400 g construction provides a solid feel during large-part inspection.
The Mitutoyo 160-153 is suitable for fabrication and structural steel workshops, pipe and flange inspection teams, heavy machining operations, maintenance crews, and oil and gas service environments across Kuwait.
Temperature can affect dimensional measurements on large steel components. Steel expands by approximately 11.5 μm per metre for every 1 °C change. For a 600 mm workpiece, a 10 °C temperature difference can therefore produce roughly 69.0 μm of dimensional change. Allow the workpiece and Mitutoyo 160-153 to reach the same temperature before taking a final precision reading.
For smaller parts requiring a shorter caliper, the Mitutoyo 505-745 covers 0–300 mm.

How to Use the Vernier Caliper
-
Clean the measuring faces and check the zero position.
-
Open the jaws beyond the feature being measured.
-
Position the jaws correctly against the workpiece.
-
Keep the beam square and properly aligned with the part.

Read the whole-unit measurement from the main scale and the fractional measurement from the vernier.
-
For inside measurements, use the nib-style jaw tips to contact the internal surfaces.
Frequently Asked Questions
What range does the Mitutoyo 160-153 measure?
It measures from 0 to 600 mm.
What are the graduation and accuracy?
The 160-153 has a 0.02 mm graduation and stated accuracy of ±0.05 mm.
What are nib-style jaws?
Nib-style jaws have smaller jaw tips that allow the caliper to measure inside features such as bores and slots as well as outside dimensions.
How much does the Mitutoyo 160-153 weigh?
The supplied product information lists a weight of approximately 1400 g.
Is the 160-153 suitable for large flanges and fabricated parts?
Yes. Its 600 mm range and extended beam make it suitable for dimensional checks on large flanges, shafts, pipes, fabricated components and structural parts.
Which Mitutoyo caliper should I use for parts under 300 mm?
A shorter caliper may be easier to handle for smaller components. The Mitutoyo 505-745 covers 0–300 mm.
Can the Mitutoyo 160-153 be recalibrated?
Yes. Periodic calibration through an ISO/IEC 17025-accredited calibration service can help maintain measurement traceability.
How should I store and care for the caliper?
Clean the measuring surfaces after use, protect the instrument from coolant and direct sunlight, avoid impacts or drops, and check the zero position regularly. Periodic calibration should be scheduled according to your quality requirements.
