Spi CMS150410010 Dial Height Gage 18 in Nist Traceable

Product Description

The SPI CMS150410010 is an 18-inch stainless steel dial height gage designed for precision dimensional measurement on surface plates and layout work. It combines a dial indicator with a revolution counter display, delivering a graduation of 0.001 inches and an accuracy of 0.0015 inches. A fine adjustment mechanism allows repeatable, controlled positioning of the measuring arm for critical readings. This gage ships with NIST traceability certification, making it suitable for quality-controlled environments, incoming inspection, and calibration lab use. Machinists, quality technicians, and tool-and-die professionals are the primary users of this instrument.

The CMS150410010 is used in machine shops, manufacturing facilities, and metrology labs where surface-plate measurement is part of the workflow. Typical applications include part layout, step-height comparison, and vertical dimensional inspection of machined components. The base-mounted arm style keeps the measuring contact stable during fine adjustment. Its stainless steel construction resists corrosion and wear in shop environments where cutting fluids and general contamination are present. The included NIST traceable calibration certificate supports ISO and AS9100 quality system documentation requirements.

Key Features

• Accuracy rated at 0.0015 inches for reliable precision measurement
• Dial and counter display combination reduces misreading during large-range traversal
• Fine adjustment mechanism enables controlled, repeatable contact positioning
• Stainless steel construction for durability and corrosion resistance in shop environments
• NIST traceability certification included to support quality system requirements

Compatibility

Designed for use on standard surface plates and layout tables common to machine shops and metrology labs. No specific equipment compatibility was stated by the manufacturer for this gage.

Installation Notes

Height gages are set up and operated by machinists or quality technicians — no installation trade license is required. Before use, clean the surface plate and gage base to remove chips, oil, or debris that could affect accuracy. Do not drop or subject the gage to shock, as this can shift calibration. If the instrument is used in a certified quality system, recalibrate on the interval required by your quality manual and retain the NIST traceability certificate with your calibration records.
