Product Description

The Fowler 54-225-555 Xtra-Value Depth Gauge has a measurement range of 0 to 6" (0 to 150mm), and a resolution (or smallest graduation interval) of 0.0005" (0.01mm), with + or – 0.001" (0.025mm) of accuracy. The LCD screen displays in U.S./metric, and fractions (in 1/64" increments). The gauge includes six measuring rods and has a spring-loaded measurement button with a hold function for ease of use and accurate measurements. The gauge conforms to Federal Accuracy specifications. The shipping weight of this gauge is 0.25 lb. and it comes with a hardened case. Depth gauges are typically used in manufacturing, machining, and mechanical engineering.

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.
