Acme United Corporation ACM45016 Clear Plastic Ruler 6 in

Product Description

The ACME UNITED CORPORATION ACM45016 is a 6-inch clear plastic ruler designed for accurate linear measurement in office, school, and light trade applications. The transparent body allows the user to align the ruler directly over drawings, plans, or documents without obscuring the underlying material. Graduated on both edges, it reads in 1/16-inch increments on one side and metric units on the other, giving tradespeople and drafters a reliable dual-scale reference in a single compact tool. At roughly 0.016 pounds, it is lightweight enough to carry in a tool pouch or pencil case without adding bulk.

This ruler is suited for general layout work, shop drawings, parts callouts, and field sketching where quick linear reference is needed. It works equally well on paper plans, blueprints, or notebook pages. The dual-scale format makes it useful in environments where both imperial and metric dimensions appear on the same document, a common situation in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical plan review. It is sold individually and is appropriate for technicians, estimators, inspectors, and office staff who need a straightforward measuring reference on the bench or at the desk.

Key Features

• 6-inch length with clear plastic construction for see-through alignment
• 1/16-inch graduated scale for fine imperial measurements
• Metric scale on the opposite edge for dual-unit reference
• Sharp, easy-to-read numerals and graduation marks for reduced reading error
• Lightweight at 0.016 pounds, suitable for tool pouches and desk use

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose 6-inch ruler compatible with standard office, school, and light-duty trade measurement tasks requiring both imperial and metric scales.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this product. Store flat to prevent warping, which can reduce measurement accuracy over time. Keep away from prolonged heat exposure, as plastic rulers can deform and render graduations unreliable. Clean with a damp cloth only — solvents may damage the printed graduations.
