General CF2445 Flexible Steel Rule 24 in 5R Graduation

Product Description

The GENERAL CF2445 is a flexible steel rule designed for precision linear measurement in demanding trade and fabrication environments. Measuring 24 inches in overall length and 3/4 inches in overall width, the rule features a 5R graduation pattern that includes three scales: 1/100 inch, 1/32 inch, and 1/64 inch. The satin chrome-plated finish reduces glare for easier reading in bright shop or field conditions. The flexible construction allows the rule to conform to curved or uneven surfaces without compromising measurement accuracy. This tool is used by machinists, HVAC fabricators, pipefitters, sheet metal workers, and other trade professionals who require repeatable, fine-increment measurements on the job.

The CF2445 suits general layout and measurement tasks in residential and commercial applications. It is well-suited for ductwork layout, pipe fitting verification, and sheet metal work where both fractional and decimal inch readings are needed at the same time. The 5R graduation style makes it a preferred choice when working alongside machined components or in fabrication shops where decimal inch measurements are standard practice. No hook is included, and the rule is non-magnetic.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose flexible steel rule suitable for trade measurement applications including HVAC fabrication, pipefitting, sheet metal layout, and machine shop use.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this measurement tool. Keep the rule clean and dry to preserve the satin chrome finish and graduation legibility. Avoid bending the rule beyond its natural flex range, as sharp creasing can distort the scale markings. Store flat or rolled loosely to prevent permanent deformation.
