The material thickness range which can be measured with the gauge is from 0 to 12.7 mm, or 0 to 50mm with a dial indicator and precision spindle. The measurement resolution is 0.01 mm. The gauge enables measurement of soft materials like rubber or thin metal sheets without causing excessive deformation, vertically contacted by the flat anvil and spindle tips (contact force: 1-2N). With the gauge's efficiency and repeatability, as well as the zero setting ring, it is applicable for quality control in automotive panel production or paper manufacturing.
