Brass tyre tread gauge M204.021 — compact analogue gauge, 50 mm range, 0.1 mm graduation (Metav IndustryLine)

Brass tyre tread gauge M204.021 provides a straightforward solution for quick tread depth checks and small-scale profile measurements in workshops and inspection bays.

• Compact brass body for corrosion resistance
• 50 mm measuring range for tyre profiles
• 0.1 mm vernier reading for quick checks
• Lightweight at approx. 50 g for handheld use

Accurate, compact measurement where it matters

The M204.021 is built as a compact, analogue vernier instrument that prioritises straightforward, verifiable readings. With a 0.1 mm graduation and a 50 mm range, it fits the micro category of measuring tools (suitable for measuring ranges up to 100 mm), offering a balance of reach and rigidity ideal for small-scale inspections. The brass body resists corrosion and provides stable contact with the measured surface, which supports repeatability when taking successive readings on tyre treads or small components. The vernier scale requires no power source and gives an immediate, mechanical confirmation of depth values for routine quality checks.

Built for workshop use and low-maintenance handling

A tool designed for frequent handling must be easy to operate and durable. The gauge’s lightweight build and compact jaws make it simple to position across curved tread blocks, while the brass construction reduces wear from grime and moisture commonly found in garage environments. The analogue design means there are no batteries or electronics to fail, and the vernier layout allows technicians to read values directly without interpretation software. For organised workflows, the instrument’s modest weight and size permit rapid transfer between inspection points, supporting faster throughput in service lanes and QC benches.

Practical integration into inspection routines

As a tactile measuring device, the gauge complements visual inspection by providing numeric confirmation of tread depth and profile variation. The 50 mm range covers typical tyre profile depths and localised measurements across blocks, while the 0.1 mm scale helps document compliance with service specifications or local regulations. Using the gauge alongside a written or digital checklist enables traceable records for maintenance logs. For teams requiring clear, rapid checks rather than laboratory-level micro‑measurements, this instrument offers a pragmatic and efficient option that reduces downtime and streamlines acceptance criteria.

Durable design with familiar operation and wide applicability

The gauge’s straightforward mechanics make it suitable for technicians, workshop managers and inspection staff who need a reliable handheld instrument. Its construction from brass enhances longevity in everyday conditions and simplifies cleaning after contact with road grime or oils. The analogue format keeps training time short: users familiar with vernier scales can read and record measurements instantly. While compact, the instrument is robust enough for repeated use on vehicles, spare parts and small assemblies, making it a versatile addition to any service kit.

FAQ

How is the tread depth read on this gauge?
The gauge uses an analogue vernier scale with a 0.1 mm graduation; the measurement is read directly from the vernier against the main scale for immediate numeric values.

Is this gauge suitable for automotive tyre inspections?
Yes. The 50 mm range and compact jaw geometry are intended for tyre-profile checks and small localised depth measurements typical in vehicle service and inspection tasks.

What material is the gauge made from and why does it matter?
The gauge is manufactured from brass, selected for corrosion resistance and consistent contact behaviour, which helps maintain reliable readings over repeated use.

Does the instrument require batteries or calibration on delivery?
The device is fully mechanical and requires no batteries; calibration status is not specified for this item, so check individual product listings if a calibration certificate is required.

Which category of calipers does this instrument belong to?
With a maximum measuring range of 30 mm, the gauge falls into the micro category of compact measuring instruments, offering precise handling for small-scale measurements.
