Starrett 12526 Electronic Caliper 0-12 in IP67

Product Description

The STARRETT 12526 is a digital electronic caliper designed for precise dimensional measurement in professional trade and industrial settings. 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 body and jaws are constructed from stainless steel, providing corrosion resistance and long service life. An IP67 rating means the instrument is fully protected against dust ingress and can withstand temporary immersion in water, making it suitable for use in machine shops, fabrication floors, and field service environments. Licensed HVAC technicians, pipefitters, machinists, and quality control technicians are the primary users.

The STARRETT 12526 is suited for applications requiring outside diameter, inside diameter, depth, and step measurements. The knife-edge jaw style and 2.5-inch jaw length accommodate a wide range of workpiece geometries. Thumb-wheel jaw adjustment allows for controlled, repeatable positioning. Data output capability lets technicians connect the caliper to a compatible data collection system for statistical process control or documentation workflows. The instrument is powered by a single CR2032 lithium battery, which is included in the package along with a protective carrying case.

Installation Notes

Electronic calipers require no installation but should be handled and stored by a qualified technician familiar with precision measuring instruments. Before use, zero the caliper with jaws fully closed and verify the battery is seated correctly. Avoid dropping or storing the instrument near strong magnetic fields, as either can affect calibration. Clean jaw faces with a lint-free cloth before and after each use to maintain measurement accuracy.
