DIGITAL MICROMETERS 

49-85,86,87 SERIES 

 

INTRODUCTION 
 

The TMI Digital Micrometer 49-8X Series measures the thickness of sheet material in the following 
ranges: 
 

Depending on the Model 
 
49-85 and 49-86 
0-0.050 in (Imperial Units) 
0-1.27 mm (SI Units) 
49-87 
0-0.500 in (Imperial Units) 
0-12.7 mm (SI Units) 
 

The TMI Digital Micrometers 

 49-8X Series combines a precision thickness measuring system with a 

digital readout.  The motor-driven instrument utilizes the dead weight micrometer principle.  Each unit 
has been designed and manufactured for use where the utmost precision is required, completely free of 
operator influence. 
 
The instrument consists of a heavy, solid frame which supports the unit and houses the thickness 
measurement transducer and associated circuitry.  A digital readout is provided to automatically 
display the actual specimen thickness. The lower anvil as well as a movable pressure foot is made from 
lapped, stainless steel. 
 
 

APPLICATION 
 

The TMI Micrometer is designed to measure the thickness or caliper of paper sheets, films and foils.  
Almost any material including paper, natural or synthetic fabrics, leathers, metals, plastics and rubber 
thickness can be measured with precision and accuracy.  The 49-86 and 49-87 models also feature an 
on board statistics package that stores up to 100 readings, calculates and displays the average, standard 

deviation, maximum and minimum of the readings that are stored in the instrument’s temporary 

memory.
