Product Overview
The Mitutoyo 505-746 dial caliper measures outside, inside, depth and step dimensions across a 0"–12" (0–304.8 mm) range. Its easy-to-read analogue dial provides 0.001" graduation with 0.1" per revolution, giving clear readings for routine dimensional inspection 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 has large characters for easy reading, while the standard outside and inside jaws, depth bar and step capability allow one instrument to handle a wide range of measurement tasks.
The Mitutoyo 505-746 is suitable for machine shops, QC inspection, power and desalination plant maintenance teams, fabrication workshops and oil and gas service contractors in Kuwait.
For close-tolerance measurements, allow the caliper and workpiece to reach the same temperature before measuring. Steel expands by approximately 11.5 μm per metre per °C. At 304.8 mm, a 10 °C temperature difference can shift the measurement by approximately 35.1 μm.
