Mitutoyo 500-738-20 Electronic Caliper 0-8in IP67

Product Description

The MITUTOYO 500-738-20 is a digital electronic caliper from the 500 ABSOLUTE Coolant-Proof series, designed for precision dimensional measurement in demanding shop and field environments. It measures from 0 to 8 inches with a resolution of 0.0005 inches and an accuracy of 0.0010 inches. The caliper features a hardened stainless steel beam with carbide-tipped knife-edge jaws measuring 1.9685 inches in length. An IP67 rating means the tool is fully dustproof and withstands temporary immersion in water, making it reliable on coolant-wet machine tools and wet service environments. A thumb wheel provides smooth, controlled jaw adjustment. Licensed trades and precision machinists use this caliper for repeatable measurement on production and inspection tasks.

This caliper is suited for applications requiring outside diameter, inside diameter, depth, and step measurements in a single instrument. The included depth measurement rod and inside diameter jaws expand its versatility without additional tooling. It fits residential and commercial shop environments alike, including machine shops, HVAC fabrication, plumbing rough-in inspection, and quality-control workflows where a coolant-proof, data-output-capable instrument is required. The onboard data output port supports connection to SPC data collection systems for process documentation.

Key Features

• Carbide-tipped knife-edge jaws resist wear on repeated measurements
• 0.0005 inch resolution with 0.0010 inch accuracy across the full 8-inch range
• Data output port supports SPC and statistical process control recording
• Measures outside diameter, inside diameter, depth, and step in one tool
• TUV Rheinland Certified; part of the 500 ABSOLUTE Coolant-Proof series

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-grade precision measuring instrument in the MITUTOYO 500 ABSOLUTE Coolant-Proof series; compatible with SPC data collection systems via the built-in data output port.

Installation Notes

No permanent installation is required. Before use, ensure the jaws are clean and undamaged and zero the caliper with jaws fully closed. Replace the SR44 silver oxide battery when the display dims or produces erratic readings. Do not submerge beyond the IP67 rating limits or expose the data output port to coolant without the protective cover in place.
