Mitutoyo 193-211 Digit Outside Micrometer, Inch, Friction Thimble, 0-1" Range, 0.0001" Graduations, +/-0.0001" Accuracy

The Mitutoyo 193-211 digit micrometer is for taking outside diameter measurements. The micrometer has a measurement range of 0 to 1.0", graduations of 0.0001", and an accuracy of + or - 0.0001". This model has a vernier scale with a mechanical digit counter in inches for taking precise measurements. This micrometer has a friction thimble to help provide uniform pressure for precise, repeatable measurements. The measuring faces are flat and are carbide-tipped for durability. This micrometer has a satin chrome finish on the thimble for corrosion-resistance and visibility, and a hammertone baked-enamel finish with thermal shields on the frame for durability and heat resistance. This unit comes with a fitted, plastic case.

Micrometers are precision measuring instruments that use a calibrated screw to measure distances. These measurements are translated into large rotations of the screw that are then able to be read from a scale or a dial. Micrometers are typically used in manufacturing, machining, and mechanical engineering. There are three types of micrometer: outside, inside, and depth. Outside micrometers may also be called micrometer calipers, and are used to measure the length, width, or outside diameter of an object. Inside micrometers are typically used to measure interior diameter, as in a hole. Depth micrometers measure the height, or depth, of any shape that has a step, groove, or slot.

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.
