INSIZE IP65
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about INSIZE IP65 from 3G Electric.
What does the IP65 rating mean on INSIZE digital outside micrometers?
The IP65 rating on INSIZE digital outside micrometers indicates that the instrument is protected against dust ingress and water jets. The first digit (6) signifies a dust-tight enclosure, meaning no dust can enter. The second digit (5) means the micrometer can withstand water projected by a nozzle from any direction without harmful effects. This makes the micrometers suitable for use near machining operations where coolant or water spray is present. However, they are not intended for immersion in water. The rating is based on standard IEC 60529 testing conditions. Users should still avoid prolonged exposure to liquids and clean and dry the tool after use to maintain performance.
What measuring ranges are available in the INSIZE IP65 micrometer series?
The INSIZE IP65 digital outside micrometer series covers a range of sizes from 0 to 1 inch (0 to 25 mm) up to 7 to 8 inches (175 to 200 mm). Specific models include 3108-1F (0-1 in/0-25 mm), 3108-2 (1-2 in/25-50 mm), 3108-3 (2-3 in/50-75 mm), 3108-4 (3-4 in/75-100 mm), 3108-5 (4-5 in/100-125 mm), 3108-6 (5-6 in/125-150 mm), 3108-7 (6-7 in/150-175 mm), and 3108-8 (7-8 in/175-200 mm). Each model offers inch/metric conversion and a resolution of 0.00005 in (0.001 mm). Accuracy varies from ±0.0001 in on smaller sizes to ±0.0002 in on larger sizes. These ranges allow measurement of a wide variety of external dimensions.
Do INSIZE IP65 micrometers include a certificate of calibration?
Some INSIZE IP65 micrometer models include a Certificate of Inspection traceable to NIST. For example, the 3108-8 (7-8 in/175-200 mm) is listed with this certificate. However, not all models in the series may include it as standard. Buyers should verify the specific part number and request documentation if required for their quality system. The certificate provides traceability to national standards, which is often necessary for ISO 9001 or IATF 16949 compliance. If a certificate is not included, calibration services can be arranged separately. 3G Electric can provide details on which SKUs come with the certificate and assist with any additional documentation needs.
What is the resolution and accuracy of INSIZE IP65 digital outside micrometers?
INSIZE IP65 digital outside micrometers have a resolution of 0.00005 inches (0.001 mm). Accuracy depends on the measuring range: models up to 3 inches (75 mm) typically have an accuracy of ±0.0001 inches, while larger models from 3 to 8 inches (75 to 200 mm) have an accuracy of ±0.00015 to ±0.0002 inches. For example, the 3108-1F (0-1 in) has ±0.0001 in accuracy, the 3108-3 (2-3 in) has ±0.00015 in, and the 3108-8 (7-8 in) has ±0.0002 in. These specifications are consistent with precision measuring instruments used in quality control. The resolution allows for fine measurement increments, and the accuracy is suitable for most machining and inspection tasks.
Are INSIZE IP65 micrometers available with SPC output?
The INSIZE IP65 micrometer models listed (3108-1F through 3108-8) are specifically described as splash-resistant micrometers without SPC output. This means they do not have a data port for connecting to statistical process control systems or data loggers. They are intended for manual reading and recording. If SPC output is required, INSIZE offers other micrometer models with data output capabilities. Buyers should confirm their measurement data collection needs before selecting a model. For applications where direct data transfer is not necessary, these IP65 models provide the benefit of sealed protection without the added complexity of output ports, which can be a potential entry point for moisture.
How does 3G Electric support procurement of INSIZE IP65 micrometers?
3G Electric supplies INSIZE IP65 micrometers as a distributor, offering multiple SKUs from the series. The company provides product datasheets, specifications, and part numbers to assist technical buyers. Procurement support includes quoting, stock availability checks, and logistics coordination for global shipping. 3G Electric serves plant engineers, maintenance managers, and procurement specialists who need to source these instruments. The company does not manufacture the micrometers but ensures that customers receive genuine INSIZE products. For organizations requiring documentation such as certificates of inspection, 3G Electric can facilitate requests. The focus is on providing accurate product information and efficient order fulfillment without marketing embellishment.
