Mitutoyo 505-742-56J Dial Caliper 6 Inch Stainless Steel

Product Description

The MITUTOYO 505-742-56J is a stainless steel dial caliper designed for precise dimensional measurement in trade and industrial applications. It covers a 6-inch measurement range with a dial graduation of 0.001 inches and an accuracy of 0.001 inches, making it suitable for work where tight tolerances matter. The dial face is black with a gray dial case, providing strong contrast for fast, reliable readings. The sliding jaw adjustment allows smooth travel across the full range, and the 1-9/16-inch jaw length accommodates a wide variety of workpiece geometries. This caliper ships in a fitted plastic case for storage and transport.

The 505-742-56J is used in fabrication shops, HVAC equipment manufacturing, plumbing component inspection, and general mechanical service work where outside, inside, depth, and step measurements are all required from a single instrument. It is appropriate for any trade professional or technician who needs a calibrated, inspection-certified caliper for layout, verification, or quality checks on components and fittings.

Installation Notes

This caliper is a precision measuring instrument and does not require installation in the traditional sense. Before use, verify the jaws close to zero and adjust the dial bezel if needed to zero the reading. Keep the instrument clean and dry, and avoid dropping or storing it under load, as impact or pressure can affect calibration accuracy. Periodic verification against a calibrated standard is recommended for inspection-grade work.
