Spi CMS161205008 Mechanical Outside Micrometer 5 in

Product Description

The SPI CMS161205008 is a mechanical outside micrometer designed for high-precision external measurement in machining, manufacturing, and inspection environments. It covers a measurement range up to 5 inches with a graduation of 0.0001 inches and an accuracy of 0.0002 inches, making it suitable for applications where tight tolerances matter. The micrometer features a ratchet stop thimble for consistent measuring pressure and a rotating spindle for smooth, repeatable operation. Measuring faces are solid carbide for durability and wear resistance. A satin chrome finish resists corrosion in typical shop conditions. Calibration technicians and machinists are the primary users of this instrument.

This micrometer is used in precision measurement tasks across general machining, tool and die, quality control, and production inspection environments. It is appropriate for both shop-floor use and inspection room applications where NIST-traceable calibration documentation is required. The included case, short-form certificate of calibration, and NIST traceability certification make it ready for use in environments governed by quality management systems or audit requirements. It is suited to any setting that demands verifiable accuracy at the 0.0001-inch graduation level.

Installation Notes

Outside micrometers require no installation but should be stored in the included case to protect the measuring faces and maintain calibration. Before use, verify the zero setting against the calibration standard included in the package. Handle measuring faces with care and avoid contact with abrasive surfaces. Periodic recalibration is recommended per your facility quality procedures or applicable metrology standards.
