The calibrated Mitutoyo 101-119CAL micrometer is for taking outside diameter measurements. The micrometer has a measurement range of 2.0" to 3.0", graduations of 0.0001" (0.001mm), and an accuracy of + or - 0.0001". This model has a vernier scale in inches for taking precise measurements. The micrometer's frame is tapered on the anvil side for taking measurements in hard-to-reach places. This model's measuring faces are flat and carbide-tipped for durability. 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.

This micrometer has a ratchet stop to help provide uniform pressure for precise, repeatable measurements. The satin-chrome finish on the frame helps resist rust and reduce glare. It comes with a standard bar and 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.
