Dial Test Indicators: 1.6 Min, 0-40-0, Vertical MPN:74.111375

A dial test indicator is a versatile precision instrument designed for measurement applications, featuring a thin pointer that oscillates across an accurately graduated scale for reading variations from its datum position. This model comes equipped with a sensitivity of 1.6 minimum divisions per inch and offers a range between zero to forty thousandths of an inch (.040) with 0.001 increment graduations on the vertical scale, allowing users in research labs or machine shops to accurately measure slight variations on flat surfaces such as those found within dimensional inspection workflows or quality control checks. Its horizontal measurement range enables quick and easy reading of widths when combined with the zero setting feature to locate true positioning. Due to its lightweight yet rigid construction, this tool is portable enough for field use while maintaining accuracy to support various technical needs across different industries including engineering, manufacturing or metrology.
