Mitutoyo 182-102 Steel Rule 6 Inch 16R Rigid

Product Description

The MITUTOYO 182-102 is a rigid stainless steel rule designed for precise linear measurement in trade and industrial applications. The rule measures 6 inches in overall length and 3/4 inches in overall width, with a thickness of 0.05 inches. It carries a 16R graduation style, providing four graduation increments: 1/100, 1/32, 1/50, and 1/64 inches. The satin chrome-plated finish reduces glare for easier reading under shop lighting. This is a hand-measurement tool intended for machinists, fabricators, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and other trade professionals who require accurate layout and measurement during fabrication or installation work.

The 182-102 is suited for bench work, field layout, and general-purpose measurement tasks across residential and commercial trade applications. Its rigid construction keeps the rule flat against a work surface, making it reliable for marking cut lines, checking dimensions on pipe, conduit, sheet metal, or structural components. The horizontal scale orientation and silver satin chrome finish support fast, accurate reading in variable lighting conditions.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this measurement tool. Store the rule in a protective sleeve or tool roll to prevent nicking the graduated edges, which can affect reading accuracy. Clean with a dry or lightly oiled cloth to maintain the satin chrome finish and prevent surface oxidation.
