Spi CMS180612006 Dial Caliper 12 Inch Stainless Steel

Product Description

The SPI CMS180612006 is a 12-inch range dial caliper built for precision measurement in trade and industrial applications. Constructed from stainless steel throughout, it delivers an accuracy of 0.0015 inches and a dial graduation of 0.001 inches, making it suitable for work that demands tight tolerances. The sliding jaw design covers outside, inside, depth, and step measurements in a single tool. At 1.2 pounds, it is sized for bench and field use. The caliper ships calibrated and includes NIST traceability certification with a short-form certificate.

This caliper is used in HVAC, plumbing, sheet metal, and general mechanical trades wherever precise dimensional measurement is required. It is appropriate for measuring pipe fittings, valve components, sheet stock thickness, and machined parts. The 2.51-inch jaw length accommodates a wide range of workpiece geometries. The white dial face provides clear reading in typical shop lighting conditions. Calibration and certification make it suitable for quality-control workflows that require documented traceability.

Key Features

• 12-inch maximum measurement range with 0.001-inch dial graduation
• Accuracy of 0.0015 inches across the full measurement range
• Stainless steel beam, jaws, and body for corrosion resistance and durability
• Measures outside, inside, depth, and step dimensions
• Shock-proof dial mechanism reduces damage from accidental drops
• NIST traceability certified and calibrated at the factory, with short-form certificate included

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose dial caliper for trade and industrial measurement applications where a 12-inch sliding-jaw instrument is required.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this measuring instrument. Before use, verify the caliper zeroes correctly with jaws fully closed and inspect the dial for any needle play. Keep the sliding surfaces clean and lightly lubricated to maintain smooth jaw movement and measurement accuracy. Recalibrate periodically according to your shop or quality-system requirements.
