Spi MS130820003 Electronic Caliper 0-12 in Stainless Nist

Product Description

The SPI MS130820003 is a stainless steel electronic caliper designed for precision dimensional measurement in trade and industrial environments. It covers a measurement range of 0 to 12 inches (0 to 300 mm) with a resolution of 0.0005 inches and an accuracy of 0.0015 inches. The caliper ships calibrated and includes a NIST traceability certificate, making it ready for use in quality-controlled environments. Stainless steel construction on both the body and jaws provides durability in shop conditions. The jaws measure 2.36 inches in length and support both inside and outside measurement modes. A depth measurement rod is also integrated into the tool. Machinists, pipefitters, and precision trade technicians are the primary users of this instrument.

The MS130820003 is suited for residential and commercial shop applications where accurate dimensional verification is required. Typical use cases include measuring outside diameters, inside diameters, lengths, and depths on pipe fittings, machined components, and fabricated parts. The tool is appropriate for HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical trades where part tolerances need to be confirmed before installation. It operates on a single CR2032 battery and includes a protective case for storage and transport.

Key Features

• 0 to 12 inch measurement range with 0.0005 inch resolution and 0.0015 inch accuracy
• NIST traceability certificate included — ships calibrated and ready for use in QC workflows
• Stainless steel body and jaws for corrosion resistance and long service life
• Dual jaw style supports both inside and outside diameter measurements
• Integrated depth measurement rod extends measurement capability beyond jaw applications
• CR2032 battery powered with a protective carrying case included

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose electronic caliper compatible with standard measurement workflows requiring 0 to 12 inch range precision instruments in trade and industrial settings.

Installation Notes

Electronic calipers require no installation but should be zeroed before each use per the manufacturer procedure. Handle the measuring faces and jaws carefully to avoid nicks that would affect accuracy. Store in the included case when not in use to protect the measuring surfaces. Battery replacement uses a standard CR2032 cell; open the battery compartment with a non-marring tool to avoid damaging the housing.
