Mitutoyo 500-163-30 Electronic Caliper 0-8 in IP67

Product Description

The MITUTOYO 500-163-30 is a digital electronic caliper from the 500 ABSOLUTE Digimatic series, designed for precision dimensional measurement in industrial and trade environments. It covers a measurement range of 0 to 8 inches (0 to 200 mm) with a resolution of 0.0005 inches and an accuracy of 0.0010 inches. The stainless steel beam and carbide-tipped jaws deliver durability in demanding shop conditions. Rated IP67, the caliper resists dust ingress and temporary submersion in water, making it suitable for use on machine shop floors, fabrication shops, and service environments where coolant and debris are present. A licensed metrologist, machinist, or field technician typically selects this tool for inside diameter, outside diameter, depth, and step measurements.

The 500-163-30 is suited for precision measurement tasks in manufacturing, HVAC fabrication, plumbing, and mechanical service applications where tight tolerances must be verified. Knife-edge jaws support access to narrow features and grooves. The caliper handles four measurement types in a single tool: inside diameter, outside diameter, depth, and step. Thumb wheel jaw adjustment allows controlled, repeatable positioning. The included depth measurement rod and inside diameter jaws expand versatility without additional tooling. It ships with a battery, caliper, and protective case, ready for immediate use.

Key Features

• IP67-rated stainless steel body resists dust and temporary water immersion

• ABSOLUTE Digimatic series eliminates the need to reset zero at power-on
• Thumb wheel jaw adjustment for precise, controlled measurement positioning
• Includes depth rod, inside diameter jaws, SR44 silver oxide battery, and protective case

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision measuring instrument within the MITUTOYO 500 ABSOLUTE Digimatic series, suitable for general-purpose dimensional inspection requiring up to 8 inches of range.

Installation Notes

No installation is required. Insert the included SR44 silver oxide battery before first use. Calibration is not included with this unit; verify measurement accuracy against a known standard before use in critical inspection workflows. Store in the included protective case to preserve jaw condition and seal integrity.
