FAQs
What material is the caliper made of?
The Moore & Wright Dial Caliper (UTTK3118) is made of durable stainless steel.
What is the primary benefit of the shockproof dial?
The shockproof dial prevents the measurement from being affected by accidental knocks or vibrations, ensuring the zero point remains stable and measurements are accurate.
What is the measurement range of this caliper?
This caliper has a measurement range of 150mm (approximately 6 inches).
Does the caliper come with a protective case?
The product description does not explicitly mention a case, but it is recommended to store it in a protective case to maintain its condition.
How do I set the zero point on the dial?
Close the jaws completely until they meet. Rotate the dial until the zero mark aligns with the pointer. The shockproof feature helps maintain this zero setting.
Is this caliper suitable for outdoor or wet environments?
While made of stainless steel, it is best to avoid prolonged exposure to harsh elements or submersion in water. Always dry thoroughly after cleaning and store in a dry place.
Troubleshooting
Dial does not return to zero after closing the jaws.
Ensure the jaws are completely clean and free of debris. If the issue persists, the internal mechanism may require adjustment or servicing by a qualified technician.
Sliding jaw feels stiff or jerky.
Clean the main beam and the sliding jaw where they meet with a soft cloth. Ensure no foreign particles are obstructing movement. Avoid excessive force.
Measurement appears inconsistent.
Verify that the caliper is being held and operated perpendicular to the surface being measured. Ensure the jaws are fully closed for zeroing and properly seated on the object for measurement. Check for any wear on the jaw tips.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Moore & Wright Dial Caliper (UTTK3118) requires no complex setup. It is ready for use out of the box. Ensure the jaws are clean before taking initial measurements.
Compatibility: This caliper is a mechanical measuring instrument and is not dependent on electronic compatibility. Its size notation is in millimeters (150mm), which is a standard metric measurement. Users may need to convert this to inches if their workflow requires it (150mm ≈ 5.9 inches).
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe the caliper with a soft, dry cloth to remove any dust or debris. For tougher grime, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed immediately by drying.
- Storage: Store the caliper in its protective case or a clean, dry drawer away from moisture and abrasive materials to prevent damage and corrosion.
- Lubrication: Avoid lubricating the measuring surfaces or the dial mechanism unless specifically recommended by the manufacturer, as this can attract dirt. Occasional light oiling of the sliding parts may be beneficial if recommended for long-term storage.
