Mitutoyo 500-174-30 Digital Caliper 0-6 in IP67

Product Description

The MITUTOYO 500-174-30 is a 6-inch absolute digital caliper from the 500 ABSOLUTE Digimatic series, designed for precision dimensional measurement in professional trade and industrial environments. It delivers a resolution of 0.0005 inches and accuracy of 0.0010 inches across a full 0 to 6 inch measuring range. The caliper body is constructed from hardened stainless steel, and the jaws are carbide-tipped with a knife-edge profile, providing durability and reliable contact on both inside and outside measurement surfaces. The unit carries an IP67 rating, making it resistant to coolant, dust, and wash-down conditions common in machine shops and fabrication environments.

This caliper is used by machinists, pipefitters, tool-and-die technicians, quality control inspectors, and other precision-trade professionals. It is suited for residential and commercial shop environments where four measurement types are required from a single tool: outside diameter, inside diameter, depth, and step measurements. The 500-174-30 includes inside diameter jaws, a depth measurement rod, and thumb-wheel jaw adjustment for controlled, repeatable positioning. The unit ships with the caliper, a fitted case, and a SR44 silver oxide battery pre-installed.

Key Features

• IP67-rated sealed housing resists coolant, dust, and submersion conditions
• Carbide-tipped knife-edge jaws for precision contact on irregular and hardened surfaces
• Absolute encoding retains last position on power-up, eliminating the need to re-zero after battery change
• Data output port supports SPC data collection and statistical process control integration
• Four measurement modes: outside diameter, inside diameter, depth, and step
• Includes fitted protective case, caliper, and SR44 silver oxide battery

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-series precision caliper within the Mitutoyo 500 ABSOLUTE Digimatic line, compatible with standard SPC data output accessories and cables designed for the Digimatic interface.

Installation Notes

Digital calipers require no installation but should be handled by qualified metrology or trade personnel familiar with precision measuring instruments. Keep the measuring surfaces clean and free of chips or debris before use. Avoid dropping the caliper or applying lateral force to the jaw tips, as this can affect calibration. Battery replacement uses a standard SR44 silver oxide cell; open the battery compartment only in a clean, dry environment.
