3-Point Internal Micrometer Holtest Set

Mitutoyo - Holtest 3-point internal micrometer set

Mitutoyo's professionally designed internal micrometer set is one of the most accurate and practical internal measuring tools in the Holtest series. The three-point measuring system ensures that the gauge automatically centers itself on the measurement target, and the measurement results are accurate, symmetrical, and not dependent on the user. The set covers the entire range of 0.12 - 0.28" inside diameters with four separate micrometers, making it versatile and widely applicable to various industries.

The Holtest series is renowned for its ability to measure inside diameters directly, without the need for cumbersome fitting pieces or additional calibration jigs. The series is the perfect solution for users who want a gauge that works right out of the box, offers very high repeatability, and can withstand extended use in production environments.

Construction and technical principle of operation:

The Holtest's three-point design is based on three carbide measuring surfaces, symmetrically positioned, that open gently with the rotation of the micrometer drum. When the gauge is inserted into the hole, the surfaces naturally position themselves against the inner wall of the hole. This automatic self-centering is one of the main advantages of Holtest: the gauge does not become skewed, and the user does not need to "turn" the tool to find the center balance. When the measuring surfaces are in contact with the inner surface of the hole, the ratchet-stop indicates the correct measuring force with a small but clear click. This ensures that the user does not overtighten or undertighten the gauge, which could lead to incorrect measurements. Thus, the measuring force remains consistent throughout all measurements. The advantage of the Holtest design over 2-point gauges is clear: with two points, the measurement result depends on how the user supports the tool and how well the measuring surfaces align with the hole's geometry. With three points, the gauge automatically aligns with the hole geometry and measures the actual diameter of the hole, not the distance between the two points.

Contents of the set and ready for use:

List of contents:

- Four micrometers 0.12-0.16", 0.16-0.2", 0.2-0.24", 0.24-0.28"
- Setting ring for each measuring range. These are very important as they allow accurate resetting of the micrometers and ensure measurement reliability.
- An extension arm for measuring deeper holes. Deep hole measurement is often a challenge, but the Holtest design performs well even when the measuring surfaces are not visible.
- A robust protective case that protects the measuring equipment from dents, dust, moisture, and transport damage
- Factory verification certificate (not calibrated)
