❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between the 530-118 (200 mm) and the 530-119 (300 mm)?
A: Both share the same build quality and 0.02 mm resolution. The 530-118 covers 0–200 mm and is lighter and more compact, while the 530-119 extends to 300 mm for larger workpieces. Choose based on the maximum part size you typically measure.
Q: Can I read both metric and imperial measurements?
A: Yes. Dual engraved scales let you read in millimetres (0.02 mm) and inches (0.001") without conversion.
Q: Does this caliper require calibration?
A: Like all precision instruments, periodic calibration is recommended to maintain traceable accuracy. San Tools can arrange accredited calibration services upon request.
Q: Is a storage case included?
A: Yes. The 530-118 ships in a Mitutoyo protective plastic case to guard against damage during storage and transport.
