A digital caliper is a high-precision measuring tool used to determine the exact physical dimensions of an object. This specific model is made of hardened stainless steel and provides readings in both metric (millimeters) and imperial (inches).
Capabilities
It features a "four-way" measurement system, allowing you to measure:
Outside Diameter: Using the large primary jaws.
Inside Diameter: Using the smaller top jaws (the width of a pipe's interior).
Depth: Using the thin blade that extends from the end.
Step: Using the back end of the jaws to measure the distance between two surfaces.
Resolution: Displays precise increments down to 0.01mm or 0.0005".
Ease of Use: Features a large LCD screen, a zero-set button for comparative measurements, and a fine-adjustment roller for accuracy.
Power: Uses small LR44 button cell battery.
