Mitutoyo 182-151 Steel Rule 450mm Metric Rigid

Product Description

The MITUTOYO 182-151 is a rigid stainless steel rule designed for precise linear measurement in metric applications. It measures 450 mm in overall length and 30.16 mm in overall width, with a satin chrome-plated finish that reduces glare for easier reading in shop and field conditions. Graduated in both 0.5 mm and 1 mm increments, this rule delivers the resolution needed for layout work, inspection, and general machining tasks. The horizontal scale orientation and rigid construction keep readings consistent without flex-induced parallax error. At 0.5 pounds, it is lightweight enough for bench or field carry.

This rule is suited for use in machine shops, fabrication environments, plumbing and HVAC layout, and tool-and-die applications where metric measurement is standard. It serves as a reliable hand tool for machinists, pipefitters, and service technicians who require a durable, non-magnetic measuring rule with clean metric graduations. The rigid body makes it appropriate for scribing, layout transfer, and edge measurement on flat stock or pipe.

Key Features

• 450 mm overall length with dual graduation intervals of 0.5 mm and 1 mm
• Rigid stainless steel construction resists flex and corrosion
• Satin chrome-plated finish minimizes glare under shop lighting
• Horizontal scale orientation for straightforward direct reading
• Non-magnetic — safe for use near sensitive electronic components
• No hook included — flat-end design for direct contact measurement

Compatibility

Designed as a standard metric rigid steel rule suitable for general-purpose measurement and layout tasks across machining, fabrication, and trade service applications.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this hand measuring tool. Store flat to prevent warping and clean with a dry cloth to maintain the chrome-plated finish. Avoid using the rule as a cutting guide with rotary tools, as blade contact can damage the graduated markings. Calibration should be verified periodically against a traceable standard when used in inspection-critical workflows.
