Ordinary 150 mm (6 in) digital calipers made of stainless steel have a rated accuracy of 0.02 mm and a resolution of 0.01 mm (0.0005 in). [11] The same technology is used for longer calipers, but accuracy declines to 0.03 mm (0.001 in) for 100–200 mm (4–8 in) and 0.04 mm (0.0015 in) for 200–300 mm (8–12 in) measurements.
