Precision Measuring Tool
The Mitutoyo 500-196-30 digital caliper measures 0 to 150mm with 0.01mm resolution for professionals who need repeatable inside, outside, depth and step readings. An absolute electromagnetic inductive sensor resists dirt, oil and water on the shop floor. A thumb roller gives smooth jaw travel and the LCD switches between metric and inch units instantly. The tool ships new in a protective case with an SR44 silver-oxide battery installed.
Who It Suits And Who It Does Not
Machinists, engineers, woodworkers and medical technicians who value fast, direct digital readouts will benefit from the clear display and absolute origin memory. Buyers who need coolant-proof construction or a data-output port for automated logging should look elsewhere because this model lacks both features. Anyone preferring a purely mechanical scale with no electronics will find vernier or dial alternatives more durable in harsh environments.
Behaviour Under Sustained Use
The inductive encoder maintains its zero reference through repeated power cycles so long sessions do not require re-zeroing. Battery drain is low during continuous measurement, but the single button cell must be replaced when the display dims. The stainless steel beam and hardened jaws resist wear, yet the LCD housing and flex circuit remain vulnerable to heavy impact or cutting-fluid immersion over time.

Questions about this item
What battery does the Mitutoyo 500-196-30 need to operate?
The caliper is supplied with an SR44 silver oxide button battery installed, so no separate purchase is required before first use.
Can the 500-196-30 read the same 0.01 mm increments as my old vernier caliper?
Yes, the LCD displays measurements in 0.01 mm or 0.0005 inch steps, matching the resolution of a standard metric vernier scale.
How do I confirm the 500-196-30 is measuring correctly after switching it on?
Close the jaws completely, press the ZERO/ABS button to set the origin, then measure a known gauge block; the display should read the block's certified size within the stated 0.01 mm resolution.
