Product Overview
The Mitutoyo 511-716 dial bore gauge measures internal diameters from 250–400 mm using a self-centring two-point head and a supplied 0.01 mm dial indicator. Its centring guide aligns the measuring head across the true diameter, helping inspectors evaluate bore size, taper and ovality more reliably than a caliper.
The latest 511 series design provides a longer plunger stroke while retaining the established gauge design. A carbide contact point provides wear resistance, while the larger heat-insulating grip reduces heat transfer from the operator's hand by 50%, helping maintain stable readings during extended inspection work.
Interchangeable 0.5 mm washers allow fine adjustment of the anvils, while optional extension rods provide access to deeper bores. Before measurement, set the gauge using a setting ring or optional Inside Micro Checker.
Typical applications include compressor casings, large valve bodies, turbine housings and gearbox housings. The gauge is suitable for QC inspectors, calibration laboratories, and fabrication and machining workshops serving Kuwait's oil, gas and utilities sectors.
In hot workshop conditions, allow the workpiece to reach a stable temperature before measurement. At 400 mm, a 10 °C temperature difference can cause a steel part to expand by approximately 46.0 μm, which can affect close-tolerance measurements.

How to Measure a Bore With This Gauge
-
Select the appropriate anvil and 0.5 mm washer combination for the nominal bore size.
-
Set the gauge against a setting ring or master of known size and establish the reference reading.
-
Insert the measuring head into the bore.
-
Rock the gauge gently through the bore until the indicator reaches its turning point.
-
Read and record the deviation from the reference value.
-
Repeat the measurement at different depths and positions to check for taper and ovality.
-
Keep the measuring faces clean and store the gauge in its case between jobs.
Frequently Asked Questions
What range does the Mitutoyo 511-716 dial bore gauge measure?
It measures internal diameters from 250–400 mm.
Is a dial indicator included?
Yes. The 511-716 is supplied with a 0.01 mm dial indicator.
Do I need a setting ring?
For accurate comparative measurement, set the gauge against a setting ring or master of known size before measuring the workpiece.
Why does the grip matter?
Heat from the operator's hand can affect dimensional stability. The larger heat-insulating grip reduces heat transfer from the hand by 50%, helping maintain more stable readings.
Which model should I choose for smaller bores?
The Mitutoyo 511-715 covers 160–250 mm, making it the adjacent smaller-range model to the 511-716.
Can the Mitutoyo 511-716 be recalibrated?
Yes. Periodic recalibration through an ISO/IEC 17025-accredited calibration service can help maintain measurement traceability.
How should I store and care for the gauge?
Clean the measuring faces after use and store the instrument in its case away from direct sunlight and coolant. Avoid dropping the gauge, check the reference reading before inspection work, and schedule periodic calibration as required.
