Introduction

The Model SB1436/SB1437 Dial Calipers feature

0.001" measurement resolution, a 1

⁄2" easy-

to-read dial, and precision-ground, hardened

stainless-steel construction. Using this tool will

allow you to take internal, external, and depth

measurements quickly and precisely.

Model SB1436 Max. Measurement .....................6"

Model SB1437 Max. Measurement .....................8"

Resolution ......................................................0.001"

Identiﬁcation

Refer to Figure 1 and the following descriptions

to better understand the caliper components.

A. External Jaws: Provide a method to measure

the outside of an object.

B. Internal Jaws: Provide a method to measure

the inside of an object.

C. Rack: A toothed-track that engages with the

dial gear so that the dial and jaw index can

be position along the length of the body.

D. Dial: Displays measurements with a

resolution of 0.001". Each revolution of the

needle represents 0.100".

E. Caliper Lock: Secures the dial to the caliper

body to maintain the current measurement.

F. Depth Blade: Provides a method for depth

measurements.

G. Inch Marks: Denote each full inch of

measurement indicated by the jaw index.

H. Revolution Scale: Denotes each full

revolution of the dial needle as indicated by

the jaw index, which represents 0.100" of

measurement.

I. Thumbwheel: When rotated, moves the dial

along the caliper body.

J. Dial Lock: Secures the dial after it is set at

zero. Clean the jaw faces, then close them

together. If the dial needle is not aligned

to the zero, rotate the dial until it is, then

tighten the dial lock to secure the setting.

K. Jaw Index: Indicates which inch marks and

revolution scale marks are included in the

measurement.

Dial Caliper Best Practices

• Makesuretothoroughlycleanandwipedry

the jaws before each use.

• Beforeusingthecalipers,check,andif

necessary, adjust the dial needle to zero with

the jaws closed together.

• Topreventexcessivestressontheprecision

parts of the caliper, always use the

thumbwheel to move the jaws and dial.

• Whenmakingmeasurements,alwayshold

the caliper perpendicular to the measured

surface.

• Asthejawsopen,therackisexposed.

Always keep the rack and its channel free

from dirt and debris; otherwise, accuracy will

be lost and internal damage may occur.

• Donotdroporbendthecalipers.

• Cleanandwipedrytheentirecaliperafter

each use and before placing it in the case.

Reading Calipers

The calipers illustrated in Figure 2 are set at

2.147".

Figure 2. Calipers set at 2.147".

Dial Calipers can measure objects with an accuracy of 0.001". Some rules of use should be observed to

maximize precision.

• Wipe the jaws clean before use.

• Check the position of zero on the dial with the jaws closed and adjust if needed by loosening the dial lock

and rotating the bezel.

• Always use the thumb wheel to close or open the jaws and never apply too much pressure.

• Hold the caliper perpendicular to the measured surface.

• As the jaws open, the rack is exposed. Do not allow dust and debris to settle here or accuracy will be

lost and internal damage may occur.

• Do not drop the calipers.

In the illustration above, the calipers have been set at 2.147". The following describes how this measure-

ment was read.

The jaw index has passed the 2 Inch Mark, A. 2.000"

The jaw index has passed the 1 on the Revolution Scale, B. .100"

The needle has passed the 40 on the Dial Numbers. .040"

There are 7 White Lines after the 40 mark, C. .007"

The total measurement = 2.147"

The following describes how this measurement is

read:

1. The jaw index is past the "2" inch mark.

A = 2.000"

2. The jaw index is past the "1" on the

revolution scale.

B = 0.100"

3. The dial needle is aligned with "47" on the

dial.

C = 0.047"

4. The total measurement is the sum of A, B,

and C.

2.000" + 0.100" + 0.047" = 2.147"

Measuring Objects

The calipers can be used to measure both

internal and external dimensions of objects,

as well as depth dimensions. The examples

in Figures 3–5 illustrate each type of

measurement.
