Spi CMS160725016 Dial Caliper 12 Inch Nist Certified

Product Description

The SPI CMS160725016 is a 12-inch range dial caliper designed for precise dimensional measurement in trade and industrial environments. Built from stainless steel with a satin chrome finish, it delivers an accuracy of 0.0015 inches and a dial graduation of 0.001 inches. The black-face dial with adjustable bezel allows for quick zeroing and easy reading in varied lighting conditions. Each revolution of the dial covers 0.1 inches of travel. This caliper is NIST traceability certified and ships with a short-form calibration certificate, making it suitable for quality-controlled work environments and inspection applications.

The CMS160725016 is used wherever precise linear measurement is required — fabrication shops, HVAC sheet metal work, plumbing fitting verification, electrical enclosure layout, and general mechanical inspection. The 2.51-inch jaw length accommodates a wide range of workpiece sizes. It performs outside, inside, depth, and step measurements from a single tool, reducing the need to swap instruments during a job. Suitable for both shop floor use and bench inspection tasks by machinists, pipefitters, and field technicians.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose dial caliper for industrial and trade measurement applications where a 12-inch range and NIST-certified accuracy are required.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this measuring instrument. Before use, verify the jaws close fully to zero and adjust the bezel as needed to confirm calibration. Store the caliper in its case when not in use to protect the dial mechanism and jaw surfaces. Periodic recalibration against a certified standard is recommended per applicable quality system requirements.
