Aluminium Caliper, 200 mm

Description

Aluminium Caliper, 200 mm

Some lab jobs are simply too big for a pocket gauge. This aluminium caliper 200 mm handles them, with a reach of up to 200 mm. According to the supplier catalogue, its scale is graded in both millimetres and inches. It sits on the laboratory instruments page next to our steel calipers, and it is the only aluminium item in our caliper range.

Why Aluminium Instead of Steel

Aluminium keeps a long caliper light in the hand, even at full 200 mm reach. As a result, it is comfortable for repeated measurements on bulky casts, articulated models and impression trays. Note that this tool is aluminium, not stainless steel, so it is best kept on the bench rather than on a surgical tray.

Dual Scale: Millimetres and Inches

Having both units on one tool saves conversion work. For example, a technician can read a model in millimetres, while an older equipment manual quotes inches. Also, teams that order supplies and spare parts from different countries can check sizes either way.

Typical Lab Uses Up to 200 mm

• Arch length and width on full arch study models.
• Tray and base plate dimensions before processing.
• Overall height of mounted casts in an articulator.
• Spacing between landmarks when planning a large prosthesis.

Our team checks each aluminium caliper in the United States before dispatch. It arrives unsterile, so clean it before use; then follow the maker’s limits for any disinfection. We warrant the 200 mm aluminium model for three years against manufacturing defects in its frame and scale. Our stainless lines follow the ASTM F899 standard, while this model is aluminium.
