It measures 1.375 inches in diameter and provides 0.005 inch increments for precise dimensional measurement and part inspection. This reticle fits into the eyepiece or stage of a bench-top optical comparator and is used to compare part profiles, check radii, and verify tolerances directly against a calibrated reference grid. Machinists, quality control technicians, and tool room inspectors use this type of reticle in production and inspection environments where accurate visual measurement is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis chart and reticle is suited for shop-floor and lab inspection stations equipped with optical comparators running at 10x magnification. It supports measurement tasks involving small machined parts, screw threads, gear profiles, and similar features where profile comparison or dimensional verification is performed visually against a known scale. The 0.005 inch increment graduation allows for fine resolution during inspection without requiring contact measurement tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1.375 inch overall diameter for standard optical comparator eyepiece or stage fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCalibrated 0.005 inch increment graduations for fine-resolution measurement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned specifically for 10x magnification optical comparator systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSupports non-contact dimensional inspection of machined and formed parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-unit packaging suitable for replacement or spare-reticle procurement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with optical comparator systems operating at 10x magnification.

Power down or disable the comparator light source before handling the reticle to avoid glare and heat exposure. Handle the reticle by its edges to prevent contamination of the optical surface. Follow the comparator manufacturer's procedure for seating and securing the reticle in the eyepiece or stage holder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncrements\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFor Use With Magnification\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10x\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SPI\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40-253-7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SPIROTHERM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51701918564658,"sku":"40-253-7","price":31.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/66c247644411f0d7ab912bb7ec906e56.jpg?v=1788406865","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/spi-40-253-7-optical-comparator-chart-reticle-1-375-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
