Spi CMS160622055 Outside Micrometer 0.01 in Graduation

Product Description

The SPI CMS160622055 is a mechanical outside micrometer designed for precise linear measurement of external dimensions. It delivers a 0.01 inch graduation with an accuracy of 0.004 mm, making it suitable for close-tolerance inspection work in machining, HVAC component fabrication, and mechanical trades. The ratchet stop thimble provides consistent measuring pressure, and the rotating spindle with a 0.25 inch diameter allows smooth, repeatable operation. Measuring faces are solid carbide for durability and wear resistance. The micrometer ships calibrated and includes a short form certificate of calibration with NIST traceability, meeting documentation requirements for quality-controlled environments.

This outside micrometer is used wherever external dimensions of cylindrical or flat parts must be verified to close tolerances. Typical applications include verifying shaft diameters, bolt dimensions, pipe wall thickness, and machined component stock. It is appropriate for use in machine shops, HVAC fabrication settings, plumbing supply verification, and field service applications where documented calibration is required. The included case protects the instrument during transport and storage on the job site or in a service vehicle.

Key Features

• 0.01 inch graduation for precise external measurements
• Accuracy rated at 0.004 mm for close-tolerance inspection
• Ratchet stop thimble ensures consistent, repeatable measuring pressure
• Solid carbide measuring faces resist wear over extended service life
• Satin chrome coating reduces glare and corrosion in shop environments
• NIST traceability certification and short form calibration certificate included
• Ships with protective case for storage and transport

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose mechanical outside micrometer for standard external measurement tasks across machining, fabrication, and trade service applications where NIST-traceable calibration documentation is required.

Installation Notes

This instrument requires no installation. Before use, verify the micrometer reads zero at the closed position and inspect the measuring faces for debris or damage. Store in the provided case when not in use to protect the calibrated surfaces. Recalibration should be performed per your facility or trade quality program requirements if the instrument is dropped or shows signs of damage.
