Product Overview
The Mitutoyo 505-744 dial caliper measures outside, inside, depth and step dimensions across a 0"–6" (0–152.4 mm) range. Its clear analogue dial provides a 0.001" graduation and ±0.001" accuracy without batteries or an electronic display.
The OD jaws are carbide-tipped to resist wear from abrasive and hardened materials, while the hardened stainless steel construction supports regular workshop use. At 175 g, the caliper is suitable for routine dimensional checks in machine shops and maintenance environments.
The 505-744 is well suited to oil and gas maintenance workshops, refinery and petrochemical shutdown crews, CNC machine shops, QC inspection and general industrial measurement in Kuwait.
Temperature can affect close-tolerance measurements. Steel expands approximately 11.5 μm per metre per °C. Over 152.4 mm, a 10 °C temperature difference can result in approximately 17.5 μm of dimensional change. Allow the workpiece and caliper to reach the same temperature before taking a final measurement.

Frequently Asked Questions
What range does the Mitutoyo 505-744 dial caliper measure?
It measures 0"–6" (0–152.4 mm).
Can it measure inside and depth dimensions?
Yes. It measures outside, inside, depth and step dimensions.
Why choose a dial caliper over a digital one?
The dial design requires no batteries and has no electronic display, providing a conventional analogue measurement method.
What are the carbide-tipped jaws for?
The carbide-tipped OD jaws resist wear when measuring abrasive or hardened materials, helping maintain the measuring faces over regular use.
What is the graduation and accuracy?
The graduation is 0.001" and the stated accuracy is ±0.001".
Which model should I choose if my part is outside 0"–6"?
The 505-744 covers 0"–6". The Mitutoyo 505-742J is another 0"–6" option, while the 505-737 provides a longer 0"–8" range.
Can the Mitutoyo 505-744 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 it?
Wipe the measuring faces clean after use, keep the instrument away from direct sunlight and coolant, avoid dropping it, and check the zero regularly. Periodic calibration is recommended when measurement traceability is required.
