Product Overview
The Mitutoyo 505-745 dial caliper measures outside, inside, depth and step dimensions across a 0–300 mm range. Its easy-to-read analogue dial provides 0.02 mm graduation with 2 mm per revolution, giving clear dimensional readings without batteries or an electronic display.
Constructed from hardened stainless steel, the caliper features ultra-smooth sliding and strong shock protection for dependable daily workshop use. The bright yellow dial with large characters makes readings easy to see, while the standard outside and inside jaws, depth bar and step capability allow one instrument to handle a wide range of routine measurement tasks.
The Mitutoyo 505-745 is suitable for QC inspectors, calibration environments, fabrication and machining workshops, and maintenance teams supporting Kuwait's oil, gas and utilities sectors.
Temperature can affect dimensional measurements. Steel expands by approximately 11.5 μm per metre per °C. At 300 mm, a 10 °C temperature difference can change the measured length by approximately 34.5 μm. For close-tolerance work, allow the workpiece and caliper to reach the same temperature before taking the final measurement.

Frequently Asked Questions
What range does the Mitutoyo 505-745 dial caliper measure?
It measures from 0 to 300 mm.
Can the 505-745 measure inside and depth dimensions?
Yes. It measures outside, inside, depth and step dimensions.
What is the graduation of the Mitutoyo 505-745?
The graduation is 0.02 mm.
What does 2 mm per revolution mean?
The dial completes one full revolution for 2 mm of movement, with individual graduations corresponding to 0.02 mm.
Why choose a dial caliper over a digital caliper?
The 505-745 uses an analogue dial and does not require batteries or an electronic display. This provides straightforward measurement for routine workshop applications.
How do I read the Mitutoyo 505-745 dial?
Read the whole-unit value from the main beam scale and then add the dial reading. Each dial graduation represents 0.02 mm.
Is the 505-745 suitable for larger metric measurements?
Yes. Its 0–300 mm range provides additional capacity for larger components compared with shorter-range metric calipers.
Which Mitutoyo model should I choose for measurements up to 200 mm?
The 505-745 provides a 0–300 mm range. For applications that fall within a shorter measurement range, the Mitutoyo 505-733 with a 0–200 mm range can be considered.
Can the Mitutoyo 505-745 be recalibrated?
Yes. Periodic calibration through an appropriate calibration service can verify measurement performance and maintain traceability where required.
How should I store and care for the 505-745?
Wipe the measuring faces clean after use, keep the instrument away from direct sunlight and coolant during storage, avoid dropping it, and check the zero regularly. Schedule periodic calibration according to your quality requirements.
