Mitutoyo 182-141 Flexible Steel Rule 18in 4R

Product Description

The MITUTOYO 182-141 is a flexible stainless steel rule designed for precision linear measurement in trade and industrial applications. Measuring 18 inches in overall length and 3/4 inches in width, it carries a satin chrome-plated finish that reduces glare and resists corrosion. The 4R graduation style provides four scales in a single rule: 1/16, 1/32, 1/64, and 1/8 inch, giving machinists, pipefitters, fabricators, and layout technicians the resolution they need without switching tools. At 0.1 pounds, the rule is light enough for all-day bench or field use.

This rule is suited for layout work, part measurement, and reference marking in machine shops, fabrication facilities, plumbing rough-in, and general trade applications. Its flexible construction allows it to conform to curved or irregular surfaces where a rigid rule would produce measurement error. The horizontal scale orientation makes it easy to read in standard bench or vice setups. No hook is included and the rule is non-magnetic, keeping it compatible with environments where magnetic tools are restricted.

Key Features

• Flexible stainless steel construction conforms to curved surfaces for accurate measurements
• 4R graduation provides four scales: 1/16, 1/32, 1/64, and 1/8 inch on a single rule
• Satin chrome-plated finish reduces glare and improves scale legibility
• 18 inches overall length with 3/4 inch width for stable handling
• Non-magnetic design suitable for use near sensitive components or restricted environments
• Lightweight at 0.1 pounds for extended hand use without fatigue

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose flexible steel rule suitable for precision layout and measurement tasks across machining, fabrication, plumbing, and general trade applications.

Installation Notes

No power source or mechanical installation is required for this rule. Store flat or coiled within its rated flexibility range to avoid permanent deformation of the blade. Clean the scale surface with a dry or lightly oiled cloth to maintain legibility and corrosion resistance. Avoid exposure to harsh solvents that may degrade the satin chrome-plated finish.
