Mitutoyo 160-159 Vernier Caliper with nib style jaw, 0 to 2000 mm / 0 to 80"

Description

The Mitutoyo 160-159 Vernier Caliper is an analog measuring instrument designed for precise inside (ID) and outside (OD) measurements over long ranges, featuring specialized nib-style jaws. It is constructed from hardened stainless steel with a satin chrome finish for durability and corrosion resistance.

Key features

• Nib-style jaws with fine adjustment: The calipers feature nib-style jaws with rounded measuring faces, which are ideal for accurate internal diameter (ID) measurements. The fine adjustment carriage allows for precise control over the slider's movement, which is essential for taking exact measurements.
• Durable construction: The caliper is made from hardened, corrosion-resistant stainless steel. This robust construction ensures long-term durability and reliable performance.
• High readability: The main and vernier scales have a satin chrome finish, which helps minimize glare and improve readability. The scales are also raised to prevent the markings from wearing down over time.
• Versatile measurements: The design allows for both ID and outside diameter (OD) measurements, with readings taken directly from the upper and lower slider graduations.
• Dual scale readings: It offers measurement in both metric and inch units, with a range of 0 to 2000 mm / 0 to 80".
• Accurate readings: The vernier scale design helps reduce parallax error, a common source of inaccuracy in manual measurements.
• Locking screw: A lock screw is included to hold the sliding jaw in place once a measurement is taken, preventing accidental movement and ensuring accuracy.
• Wooden case: Due to its large size (over 600 mm), the 160-159 model is supplied in a fitted wooden case for protection and storage.
