Fowler 54-100-556-BT Electronic Caliper 0-6 in IP67

Product Description

The FOWLER 54-100-556-BT is a stainless steel electronic caliper designed for precision dimensional measurement in industrial and shop environments. It covers a measurement range of 0 to 6 inches (0 to 150 mm) with a resolution of 0.0005 inches and an accuracy of 0.0010 inches. The caliper carries an IP67 rating, meaning it is fully dust-tight and can withstand temporary immersion in water - a critical feature in wet grinding, coolant-heavy machining, or field service conditions. NIST traceability certification is included, making it suitable for quality-controlled environments. Metrology technicians, machinists, and precision measurement professionals are the primary users of this instrument.

The 54-100-556-BT is built for outside diameter, inside diameter, depth, and step measurements, covering the four standard caliper measurement modes. The knife-edge jaw style and 1.56-inch jaw length support work on a wide range of part geometries. The thumb wheel jaw adjustment provides controlled, repeatable positioning. Data output capability allows direct connection to SPC data collection systems or compatible measurement software, which is valuable in production quality control workflows where manual transcription errors must be eliminated.

Key Features

• IP67-rated stainless steel body resists dust ingress and temporary water immersion
• 0.0005 inch resolution with 0.0010 inch accuracy across the full 0 to 6 inch range
• NIST traceability certification included for quality-system compliance
• Data output port supports SPC and direct digital measurement recording
• Knife-edge jaws in stainless steel accommodate inside diameter, outside diameter, depth, and step measurements
• Powered by a CR2032 lithium battery, included in the package
• Includes protective carrying case

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-use precision measuring instrument in the FOWLER IP67 Plus series, compatible with standard SPC data collection interfaces that accept caliper data output signals.

Installation Notes

Electronic calipers require no installation but should be zeroed before use following the manufacturer's procedure. Store the caliper with jaws slightly open to avoid spring fatigue and keep the measuring faces clean and free of debris before each use. Battery replacement uses a standard CR2032 lithium coin cell; ensure correct polarity when replacing. If the caliper is used with cutting fluid or coolant, rinse and dry the instrument after use to maintain the sealing surfaces and extend service life.
