Mitutoyo 182-108 Steel Rule 6 Inch Rigid

Product Description

The MITUTOYO 182-108 is a rigid steel rule designed for precise linear measurement in workshop, fabrication, and inspection environments. The rule measures 6 inches (150 mm) in overall length and 0.75 inches in width, with a thickness of 0.05 inches. It carries dual-graduation markings in both inch and metric formats, with inch graduations at 1/50 inch intervals and metric graduations at 0.50 mm and 1.00 mm increments. The satin chrome-plated finish reduces glare under shop lighting, making graduation lines easier to read. This rule is used by machinists, pipefitters, fabricators, and quality control technicians who require a compact, durable measuring reference.

The 182-108 is suited for close-tolerance layout work, part inspection, and general measurement tasks where a short, rigid rule is preferred over a flexible or tape-style alternative. Its compact 6-inch format makes it practical for confined measurement areas on assemblies, fixtures, and machined components. The horizontal scale orientation supports straightforward reading without repositioning. The rule is non-magnetic and does not include a hook end, keeping the format simple and reliable for bench and field use.

Key Features

• 6-inch (150 mm) overall length with 0.75-inch width for compact measurement coverage
• Dual inch and metric graduations on a single rule face
• 1/50 inch graduation interval for fine linear resolution
• Rigid steel construction resists flex and maintains straight-edge accuracy
• Satin chrome-plated finish reduces surface glare for clear graduation visibility
• Non-magnetic, no hook — clean form factor for layout and inspection tasks

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose rigid steel rule for use in machining, fabrication, plumbing layout, and mechanical inspection applications where a 6-inch inch-metric rule is specified.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this hand tool. Store the rule flat or in a protective sleeve to prevent surface scratches that could obscure graduation markings. Avoid using the rule as a cutting guide with sharp blades, as repeated scoring can damage the graduated edge. Clean the rule with a dry or lightly oiled cloth after use to prevent corrosion under the chrome plating.
