Product Description

The Fowler 54-225-456 electronic depth micrometer has a measurement range of 0 to 6" (0 to 150mm), and a resolution (or smallest graduation interval) of 0.0005" (0.01mm) with +/ 0.00016" (0.004mm) of accuracy. The LCD screen displays in U.S./metric and is water resistant to Ingress Protection 54 (IP54) standards. The 4" base is made of hardened steel that is precision ground and micro lapped for durability and accurate measurements. A friction thimble provides consistent measurements. The gauge includes five 0.176" diameter measuring rods that snap together and comes with a fitted case. This electronic depth micrometer is suitable for precise measurement in a variety of manufacturing, machining, and mechanical engineering applications. Depth gauges are precision measuring instruments used to determine the depth of any shape that has a step, groove, or slot. These gauges often take the form of sliders that travel on a measuring beam or rods, are moved to position by hand, and then adjusted with a calibrated screw. The base of the gauge rests at the top of the shape whose recession is to be measured, while the beam or rods extend to the bottom of the recession to determine the measurement. Gauge position is read from a graduated scale, dial, counters, or an electronic display. The Fred V. Fowler Company manufactures inspection and measurement instruments such as electronic indicators, calipers, bore gages, and digital scales. The company, founded in 1946, is headquartered in Newton, MA.
