Product Overview
The Mitutoyo 505-750 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, while the outside measuring jaws are carbide-tipped to resist wear during repeated measurement of abrasive and hardened materials.
The mechanical dial requires no batteries or electronic display, providing a straightforward reading for routine dimensional inspection. The caliper has a stated accuracy of ±0.002" and weighs approximately 370 g.
Standard outside and inside jaws, a depth bar and step measurement capability allow the 505-750 to handle a broad range of everyday inspection tasks. It is suitable for QC inspectors, calibration laboratories, fabrication and machining workshops, and oil, gas and utilities service operations across Kuwait.
Keep the measuring faces clean and store the Mitutoyo 505-750 in its case between jobs. Temperature can also affect dimensional readings. Steel expands by approximately 11.5 μm per metre for every 1 °C change, so a 304.8 mm steel workpiece exposed to a 10 °C temperature difference can change by roughly 35.1 μm. Allow the workpiece and caliper to reach the same temperature before taking a final close-tolerance measurement.
For a shorter caliper option, see the Mitutoyo 505-749.

Use the depth bar for depth measurements and the step surfaces for step dimensions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What range does the Mitutoyo 505-750 measure?
It measures from 0"–12" (0–304.8 mm).
What are the graduation and accuracy?
The 505-750 has a 0.001" graduation and stated accuracy of ±0.002".
Can it measure inside and depth dimensions?
Yes. The caliper measures outside, inside, depth and step dimensions.
What are carbide-tipped jaws for?
The carbide tips on the outside measuring jaws are designed to resist wear from abrasive or hardened materials, helping maintain the condition of the measuring faces during repeated use.
Why choose a dial caliper instead of a digital caliper?
The 505-750 uses a mechanical analogue dial and does not require batteries or an electronic display. This can be useful in workshop environments where a mechanical measuring instrument is preferred.
Which model should I choose if I need a different configuration?
Choose a caliper according to the required measuring range, graduation and jaw configuration. The 505-750 covers 0"–12" with 0.001" graduation and OD carbide-tipped jaws.
Can the Mitutoyo 505-750 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?
Wipe the measuring surfaces clean after use, protect the instrument from coolant and direct sunlight, store it in its case between jobs, and avoid impacts or drops. Check the zero position regularly and schedule periodic calibration according to your quality requirements.
