Brown & Sharpe 599-579-4 Dial Caliper, Stainless Steel, White Face, 0-6″ Range, +/-0.001″ Accuracy, 0.001″ Resolution, Meets DIN 862 Specifications
The Brown & Sharpe Dial-Cal dial caliper has a 1.25″ diameter rotating dial with a lock, is made of stainless steel, and measures in inches. The covered rack helps prevent measurement error by protecting the gear from foreign matter. Linear accuracy meets Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN) 862 standards. These calipers are for use in measuring inside dimensions (ID), outside dimensions (OD), depth and step. The caliper measures 0.100″ per revolution of the dial. The lock screw locks the dial and holds the sliding jaw in position. Adjustable zero set allows the user to set zero at a convenient distance. The depth rod is integrated into the rack of the caliper, unlike many calipers that offer a detachable depth rod, or none at all. The hardened stainless steel components, including the bar, measuring surfaces, rack, gears, and depth rod, offer corrosion resistance, increased accuracy, and long life. Spring anti-backlash control offers increased accuracy over standard gear configurati

Question by Muffins: Do the Quaker oatmeal containers come with their own measuring spoons?
Or do you have to measure out our own portions with our own measuring cups? If it says a serving is half a cup, is that referring to the regular old measuring cups we use for measuring liquids in baking and such?
Best answer:
Answer by Candy A
Yes , if they call for one cup of water then it would be the measuring cup we would use for liquid and for flour lets say.
If you need measuring spoons, the dollar stores carry all types, can’t beat that price.

B & S Calipers,
You can’t go wrong with Brown and Sharpe calipers. I had a previous like instrument that I unfortunately dropped on concrete. I don’t recommend this practice because the dial assembly will only absorb a limited amount of impact forces. All jokes aside, I supervised a calibration lab for five years and know first hand that Brown and Sharpe calipers maintain their accuracy over long periods of time.

Best Brand,
I work in a high end machining shop, with many different brands of calipers on the floor. I can say with certainty that after using a multitude of different brands, Brown & Sharpe had the best “feel” when gaging dimensions. The B & S calipers are also the brand of calipers that seem to last the longest, as all the older machinists still are using their original B & S calipers they got decades ago. Had mine for 2 years now, and it’s the most accurate caliper in my plant. Highly recommend.

No measuring cups are included within the Quaker oatmeal containers. And, I use the measuring cups used to measure flour & sugar.
Hope this helps…sorry I can’t give you a Yes answer.
