Spi CMS160725032 Dial Caliper 8 Inch Stainless Steel

Product Description

The SPI CMS160725032 is a stainless steel dial caliper with an 8-inch measurement range, designed for precision dimensional work in the field and on the bench. The dial face reads in 0.001-inch graduations with 0.1 inch per revolution, allowing technicians to take accurate outside, inside, depth, and step measurements from a single tool. Accuracy is rated at 0.0015 inches. The white dial face provides clear contrast for fast readings. This caliper ships NIST traceable and calibrated, ready to use out of the box. Trade professionals including HVAC technicians, pipefitters, plumbers, and millwrights rely on precision calipers for fitting, fabrication, and quality checks.

The CMS160725032 is suited for residential and light commercial service work where precise measurement of pipe fittings, shaft diameters, bore sizes, and component depths is required. The 1.97-inch jaw length accommodates a wide range of workpiece geometries. The stainless steel construction holds up in shop and field environments. The included fitted case protects the caliper during transport and storage, making it practical for service technicians who carry tools between job sites.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose precision measuring tool compatible with standard dial caliper applications across HVAC, plumbing, pipefitting, and mechanical service trades.

Installation Notes

Dial calipers require no installation but should be zeroed before use by closing the jaws fully and confirming the dial reads zero. Keep the sliding beam clean and lightly oiled to maintain smooth movement and measurement accuracy. Avoid dropping or storing the caliper without its case, as shock can shift dial calibration. Recalibration against a NIST-traceable standard is recommended after any significant impact.
