The Mitutoyo 511-815 micrometer head bore gauge measures large internal diameters from 150–250 mm. Its micrometer head is mounted on the anvil, allowing the gauge to be set conveniently and accurately without requiring a matching setting ring for every dimension. It is suited to machine shops, quality control, maintenance, calibration and industrial applications across Kuwait.

Product Overview
Setting a large-diameter dial bore gauge normally requires a setting ring matching the bore size, and large rings can be expensive and difficult to handle. The Mitutoyo 511-815 uses a micrometer head mounted on the anvil, allowing the required dimension to be set directly at the bench.
The gauge features a longer plunger stroke while maintaining its original precision. A carbide contact point provides wear resistance, while the large sponge-structure grip reduces heat transfer from the operator's hand by 50%. Sub-anvils provide a wide measuring range, and optional extension rods can be used for deep holes.
An optional inside-length standard, such as a setting ring or Inside Micro Checker, can be used to confirm the setting.
Typical applications include compressor casings, large valve bodies, turbine housings and gearbox housings. The gauge is suitable for machine shops, power and desalination plant maintenance teams, QC inspectors, engine and pump rebuild workshops, and oil and gas service contractors in Kuwait.
For accurate results, allow the gauge and workpiece to reach the same temperature before measuring. Steel expands by approximately 11.5 μm per metre per °C. At 250 mm, a 10 °C temperature difference can shift the reading by approximately 28.8 μm.
For a larger bore range, the Mitutoyo 511-816 covers 250–400 mm.

How to Measure a Bore With This Gauge
-
Fit the appropriate anvil or washer combination for the nominal bore size.
-
Set the gauge using a setting ring or master and adjust the micrometer head to the required dimension.
-
Insert the gauge into the bore and gently rock it through the measuring position to locate the turning point on the indicator.
-
Record the deviation from the nominal dimension and repeat the measurement at different depths or positions when checking taper and ovality.
Frequently Asked Questions
What range does the Mitutoyo 511-815 micrometer head bore gauge measure?
It measures internal diameters from 150–250 mm.
Is a dial indicator included?
Yes. The Mitutoyo 511-815 is supplied with a 0.01 mm indicator.
Do I need a setting ring?
The micrometer head mounted on the anvil allows the required size to be set directly. A setting ring or Inside Micro Checker can be used optionally to confirm the setting.
Why does the grip matter?
Heat from the operator's hand can affect the gauge and measurement. The large insulating grip reduces heat transfer from the hand by 50%, helping improve measurement stability.
Which model should I choose if my part is outside 150–250 mm?
Select the Mitutoyo 511-series model whose measuring range covers the required bore. The 511-815 covers 150–250 mm, while the 511-813 covers 60–100 mm and the 511-816 covers 250–400 mm.
Can it be recalibrated?
Yes. The Mitutoyo 511-815 can be periodically recalibrated through an ISO/IEC 17025-accredited calibration service to maintain measurement traceability.
How should I store and care for it?
Clean the measuring faces after use and store the instrument in its case away from direct sunlight and coolant. Avoid dropping the gauge, check zero before each shift and arrange periodic calibration to maintain traceability.
