Product Overview
The Mitutoyo 505-737 dial caliper measures outside, inside, depth and step dimensions across a 0"–8" (0–203.2 mm) range. Its clear analogue dial provides an easy-to-read measurement without batteries or an electronic display, while the OD jaws feature carbide-tipped measuring faces for improved wear resistance.
The caliper provides ±0.002" accuracy and a 0.001" graduation, with a lightweight 185 g construction suited to routine workshop measurement. It is suitable for machinists, QC inspectors, maintenance teams, fabrication workshops and other industrial users in Kuwait.
For close-tolerance work, keep the measuring faces clean and allow the workpiece to reach a stable temperature before measurement. At 203.2 mm, a 10 °C temperature difference can change a steel part's length by approximately 23.4 μm.
