Mechanical Caliper
Product Code : SCL-CL-11851
Mechanical Caliper (SKU SCL-CL-11851) is a 15 cm metal sliding caliper with fixed and sliding jaws that takes internal, external, depth and step measurements on a dual metric and inch scale. It suits physics and engineering lab practicals, workshop training and school and college measurement work on small lengths, diameters and depths. Institutions, tender contractors and distributors can have it quoted by Science Lab Supplies, a school laboratory equipment supplier in India operating from Ambala.

Applications and Experiments for the Mechanical Caliper
The instrument measures the outside diameter of rods and spheres, the inside diameter of tubes and vessels, and the depth of holes and recesses. It fits school physics measurement practicals, engineering drawing and metrology classes, and fitting and machining work in technical training workshops, with readings available in millimetres or inches.
- CBSE Class 11 physics practical: measuring the diameter of a small sphere or cylinder, and the internal diameter and depth of one of the Beakers.
- Density and volume work: finding the dimensions of regular solids such as Metal Cubes before calculating volume.
- ITI Fitter and Machinist trades: checking outside, inside and step dimensions of workpieces.
- Diploma and B.Tech metrology labs: practice in reading a mechanical measuring instrument.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Mechanical Caliper is supplied as a single 15 cm metal instrument with its fixed and sliding jaws, depth feature, dual metric and inch scale, and locking screw. A storage case or any other accessory you want can be added to the quotation as a separate line.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Quotations can cover one caliper for a teacher's desk or a class set for every bench. Each quotation lists packing, delivery time and price for the quantity requested, and weights, balances or other chemistry lab equipment from the same range can be added to the same document.
Because it holds an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Qatar, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Malaysia, Peru and Egypt. Pricing for a class set starts with a note on the contact page or a list built in the enquiry cart, while procurement officers can follow the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What can this caliper measure?
It takes four kinds of reading: external dimensions between the jaws, internal dimensions of bores and tubes, depth of holes, and step heights. The dual scale gives each reading in both metric and inch units.
How long is the measuring range?
The caliper is 15 cm in size, about 6 inches, which covers school physics specimens, small workshop parts and common laboratory glassware. The locking screw holds a reading while it is written down.
Who supplies the Mechanical Caliper?
Science Lab Supplies, working out of Ambala, India, is the supplier. A school or contractor can order a single caliper or fold it into a wider physics, engineering or workshop equipment list on one quotation.
Can I order a class set for practical examinations?
Yes. State the number of calipers and the delivery location, and the quotation will give packing, delivery time and price for that quantity, together with any other items on your list.
