Mitutoyo 505-738 Dial Caliper 0.001 in White Face

Product Description

The MITUTOYO 505-738 is a dial caliper designed for precise dimensional measurement in trade and industrial applications. It delivers 0.001 inch accuracy across four measurement modes: outside, inside, depth, and step. The jaws are carbide tipped for durability against wear during repeated use. The dial face is white, providing high contrast for easy reading under shop conditions. A titanium nitride coating on the measuring surfaces resists corrosion and extends service life. Each unit ships in a fitted plastic case and carries a proprietary inspection certification, confirming it meets factory accuracy standards before leaving the manufacturer.

The 505-738 suits precision measurement tasks performed by machinists, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and other trades that require verified dimensional readings. It is appropriate for both shop bench work and field service where confirming part dimensions, pipe diameters, fitting clearances, or component tolerances is required. The sliding jaw adjustment allows smooth, controlled measurement across all four modes without tool changes.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose dial caliper suitable for dimensional measurement tasks across HVAC, plumbing, machining, and related trades where 0.001 inch resolution is required.

Installation Notes

Dial calipers require no installation but should be handled and stored with care to preserve calibration accuracy. Keep the measuring faces clean and free of debris before use, and avoid dropping the tool or overtightening the jaw lock. Periodically verify zero calibration by closing the jaws fully and confirming the dial reads zero before taking measurements. Store the caliper in the supplied fitted case when not in use to protect the dial and jaw surfaces.
