Mitutoyo 513-402TCAL Test Indicator Set with Calibration, Horizontal Face, Inch, 0-0.03" Range, 0.0005" Graduations, +/-0.0005" Accuracy, 0-15-0 Reading

The calibrated Mitutoyo 513-402TCAL test indicator set is for measuring small surface variations in narrow or recessed areas. The test indicator has a measurement range of 0 to 0.03", graduations of 0.0005", and an accuracy of + or – 0.0005". This model has a white dial face with contrasting hand, and glare-free, scratch-resistant crystal. It is tilted 20 degrees for readability and displays in inches. This test indicator has an anti-magnetic pointer and contact point for reliable measurements in magnetized environments. The contact point is carbide for durability. This test indicator has no clutch to enable automatic reversal of measuring direction, and jeweled bearings for sensitivity and quick response. The one-piece bezel and O-ring seal help resist water and oil. Mitutoyo calibrated tools include a Certificate of Calibration that provides evidence that the tool has been calibrated and is within allowable error specifications. Mitutoyo calibrated tools are certified by Mitutoyo's American Association for Laboratory Accreditation-accredited calibration laboratory (A2LA Certificate #750-01) to the International Organization for Standardization/International Electrotechnical Commission (ISO/IEC) 17025 International Standard for testing and calibration laboratories.

The measuring force for this test indicator is 5 to 10 Newtons (N). The balanced dial has a reading of 0-15-0. This full kit contains the base indicator and stylus, two extra styluses, two stems, a knurled clamp ring, a swivel clamp, and an inch holding bar. The set comes in a fitted plastic case.

Test indicator gauges, also called gages, are precision instruments that measure short linear distances. They are commonly used for detecting deviations from tolerance limits, such as small variations in flatness or height of an inspected workpiece, and permit measurement in narrow grooves or small bores. A test indicator gauge consists of a ball-tipped contact point on a levered arm, also called a measuring insert, which pivots from a hinge point. The reading indicates the degree of angular displacement of the arm. Test indicator gauges are commonly used in manufacturing, machining, and mechanical engineering. Standard test indicators measure the displacement of the arm perpendicular to the axis of the indicator. Dial and electronic indicators are very similar to test indicators, except that the axis of measurement is parallel to the axis of the indicator. Test indicators can be analog, with a mechanical dial, or electronic, with a digital display. Some electronic models transfer the data electronically to a computer for recording and potential manipulation.

Mitutoyo manufactures precision measuring tools, metrology equipment, and related systems. The company, founded in Tokyo in 1934, formed Mitutoyo America Corporation in 1963 with headquarters in Aurora, IL.
