Mitutoyo 147-104 Can Seam Micrometer 0 to 0.5 Inch

Product Description

The MITUTOYO 147-104 is a mechanical can seam micrometer designed to measure the seam geometry of cans and sealed containers with high precision. It covers a measurement range of 0 to 0.5 inches with a graduation of 0.001 inches and an accuracy of 0.0001 inches. The micrometer features a 15 mm head diameter and a flat spindle, allowing it to reach into seam profiles that standard micrometers cannot access. The body and anvil are constructed of steel with a satin chrome finish for corrosion resistance and durability in production and quality control environments. A carton case is included for storage and transport. This instrument is used by quality control technicians and production engineers in food, beverage, and metal packaging operations.

The MITUTOYO 147-104 is suited for inspecting double seams on steel and aluminum cans in food and beverage manufacturing lines, as well as in laboratory or incoming inspection settings. The compact 15 mm head diameter and 5 mm throat depth allow access to tight seam profiles without interference from can walls or flanges. This micrometer is appropriate for both in-line quality checks and bench-top inspection work where precise seam thickness and overlap measurements are required to meet packaging integrity standards.

Installation Notes

This instrument is used by quality control technicians and does not require installation. Before use, zero the micrometer and verify calibration against a known standard in accordance with your facility quality procedures. Keep the spindle and anvil surfaces clean and free of debris to ensure accurate readings. Store in the included carton case when not in use to protect the measuring faces.
