Fowler 52-240-002-1 Outside Micrometer 2 Inch

Product Description

The FOWLER 52-240-002-1 is a mechanical outside micrometer built for precise linear measurement of external dimensions. It covers a 0 to 2 inch range with a 0.0001 inch graduation and a stated accuracy of 0.000150 inches, making it suitable for close-tolerance inspection work in machining, fabrication, and mechanical service environments. The friction thimble provides consistent measuring pressure across repeated measurements, reducing operator-to-operator variation. Solid carbide measuring faces resist wear during regular shop use. The sleeve features a quick, easy zero adjustment, and the unit ships with a case and wrench.

This micrometer is suited for dimensional inspection tasks where external measurements up to 2 inches are required. Typical applications include verifying shaft diameters, checking machined part tolerances, and confirming stock dimensions prior to fitting. It is appropriate for use in mechanical and industrial trade environments, including HVAC equipment fabrication shops, plumbing and pipe fitting operations, and general precision measurement work. The non-rotating spindle design helps prevent workpiece marking during measurement.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a standard mechanical outside micrometer for general precision measurement applications requiring an external measuring range of 0 to 2 inches.

Installation Notes

Outside micrometers are used by machinists, mechanical technicians, and trade professionals performing dimensional inspection. Before use, verify the zero setting with the included wrench and reference the spindle against the anvil or a known standard. Keep measuring faces clean and free of debris to maintain accuracy. Store in the included case when not in use to protect the measuring faces and thimble from damage.
