Spi CMS160622054 Outside Micrometer 0.01 in Graduation

Product Description

The SPI CMS160622054 is a mechanical outside micrometer built for precision measurement in trade and industrial applications. It features a 0.01 inch graduation and an accuracy of 0.004 mm, making it suitable for close-tolerance work in machining, HVAC fabrication, plumbing, and mechanical service environments. The micrometer includes a ratchet stop thimble for consistent measuring pressure and a rotating spindle with a solid carbide measuring face for long-term durability. It ships calibrated and includes a Short Form Certificate of Calibration with NIST traceability documentation. This tool is used by machinists, pipefitters, and precision mechanics who need reliable dimensional verification on the job.

The CMS160622054 suits residential and commercial trade shops where outside diameter measurements must meet tight tolerances. It is appropriate for measuring stock, fittings, shaft diameters, and similar components before installation or fabrication. The 0.25 inch spindle diameter and solid carbide measuring faces handle repeated use across metal and plastic workpieces without significant wear. Typical users include tool room technicians, HVAC fabricators, and mechanical service professionals who require a traceable instrument for quality assurance or inspection tasks.

Key Features

• 0.01 inch graduation for fine, precise outside measurements
• Ratchet stop thimble delivers consistent measuring pressure across readings
• Solid carbide measuring faces resist wear during repeated use
• Rotating spindle design for smooth, repeatable adjustment
• Ships calibrated with NIST traceability certification and Short Form Certificate of Calibration included
• Hammertone and baked enamel coating for corrosion resistance and durability

Compatibility

Designed as a standard mechanical outside micrometer for general dimensional measurement tasks in trade, industrial, and shop environments.

Installation Notes

Outside micrometers require no installation but should be handled and stored with care to protect calibration. Always clean measuring faces before use and verify the zero setting against a known standard before taking measurements. Store the instrument in the included case when not in use to prevent damage to the spindle and measuring faces. Recalibration should be performed by a qualified metrologist if the instrument is dropped or if readings become inconsistent.
