X-Kaliper: Large Object Caliper

X-Kalipers are economical and multipurpose linear calipers, with jaws that slide and measure along a T-Track rail system. Customize this product to your specific needs with variable reading and jaw lengths using the drop down menus below. All parts are non-corrosive and waterproof, and X-Kalipers are made of anodized aluminum, nylon, and stainless steel.

The first factor to consider will be the length of the rail, with several standard lengths available. The top drop down menu describes these lengths by showing their maximum usable measuring distance. At larger lengths, the rail will actually be several rails linked together, that can easily be separated and stored more efficiently.
*Each X-Kaliper will be 8” longer than the usable length listed, if total length of the tool is something the end user needs to consider.

The second variable when building your X-Kaliper will be the length of the jaws. X-Kaliper jaws slide smoothly and lock along the length of the rail. Lock one jaw so that the flat edge is at zero, and place that against the outside of the item you are measuring. Slide the other jaw so that it’s edge touches the other side of the item, lock it in, and simply read the measurement where the jaw meets the railing. These triangular jaws are offered in several lengths so you can measure large things like pipes where the points of contact are much deeper than what most industrial calipers can provide. Each jaw is 1/8” thick and about 4” wide, the differences between them are length.
*Jaw tips are 1/2” wide, so you can measure inside dimensions as small as 1”. When measuring inside diameters, you add 1” to the read measurement to account for the two tips’ widths.

The standard reading style for the ruler part is Fractional/Metric, with inch reading scale on the top edge and centimeter reading scale on the bottom edge. These rulers have a white background with black print for optimum contrast. Other ruler styles are available, like just Fractional or Metric, Tenths of Inches, Centering Rule, or different background colors. Please contact us when placing the order if a non-standard ruler option is needed and we will do our best to accommodate.
