At 6 inches overall length and 15\/32 inches wide, it delivers a compact, easy-to-handle profile suited for tight spaces and close-tolerance work. The 5R graduation style provides four scales: 1\/100, 1\/32, and 1\/64 inch, giving technicians multiple reference options in a single tool. The polished silver finish enhances scale readability under shop lighting. Machinists, pipefitters, sheet metal workers, and other tradespeople who require accurate short measurements rely on rules like this for layout, inspection, and verification tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis rule is well suited for bench work, layout tasks, and field measurements where a rigid rule would be awkward or impractical. The flexible construction allows the blade to conform slightly to curved surfaces, making it useful for measuring pipe diameters, tubing, and irregular stock. Its compact 6-inch length makes it a standard secondary rule for trades that carry a larger primary rule but need a short blade for detailed work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlexible stainless steel blade conforms to curved and irregular surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5R graduation style with 1\/100, 1\/32, and 1\/64 inch scales\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6 inches overall length and 15\/32 inches overall width\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePolished silver finish for high-contrast scale readability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHorizontal scale orientation for consistent left-to-right reading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo hook and non-magnetic construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose short flexible rule suitable for use in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical trade applications where precise short-range linear measurement is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo installation is required for this measuring tool. Keep the blade clean and free of burrs to maintain graduation legibility and measurement accuracy. Avoid bending the blade beyond its natural flex range, which can introduce permanent set and affect accuracy. Store flat or rolled loosely to prevent kinking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15\/32 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGraduation Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5R\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGraduation Scales\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/100, 1\/32, 1\/64 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlexibility\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flexible\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale Orientation\u003c\/strong\u003e: Horizontal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Polished\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: Silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes Hook\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMagnetic\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 pound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: GENERAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 616-I\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GENERAL FILTERS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51538654396722,"sku":"616-I","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/5e198fe12267fc84139c65e6b48f5445.jpg?v=1785825430","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/general-616-i-flexible-steel-rule-6-inches-5r","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
