Mitutoyo 182-122 Steel Rule 12 Inch 16R Rigid

Product Description

The MITUTOYO 182-122 is a rigid stainless steel rule designed for precise linear measurement in trade and industrial applications. It measures 12 inches in overall length and 1 inch in overall width, with a thickness of 0.05 inches. The satin chrome-plated finish reduces glare under shop lighting and resists corrosion. Four graduation scales are engraved on the rule: 1/32, 1/64, 1/50, and 1/100 inch, formatted in the 16R horizontal graduation style. This tool is used by machinists, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and other trade professionals who need reliable quick-reference measurement on the job or at a workbench.

The 182-122 is suited for general layout, inspection, and measurement tasks in both shop and field environments. Its rigid construction keeps the rule flat against a workpart surface, making it appropriate for scribing, checking part dimensions, and referencing measurement during fabrication or installation. The horizontal scale orientation allows for easy left-to-right reading. The rule does not include a hook end and is non-magnetic, which suits applications where magnetic attraction to workpieces is undesirable.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this hand tool. Store the rule in a protective sleeve or roll when not in use to prevent edge damage and preserve graduation legibility. Clean with a dry or lightly oiled cloth to maintain the satin chrome finish. Handle edges with care, as engraved graduation marks can wear if the rule is used as a cutting guide.
