Mitutoyo 182-211 Flexible Steel Rule 150mm Metric

Product Description

The MITUTOYO 182-211 is a flexible stainless steel rule designed for linear measurement in metric applications. The rule measures 150 mm in overall length and 12.7 mm in overall width, with a thickness of 0.0200 inches, making it thin enough to flex and conform to curved or irregular surfaces. It features a satin chrome-plated finish that reduces glare under shop lighting and resists corrosion. Graduation marks are provided in 0.5 mm and 1 mm increments, oriented horizontally along the rule face. This tool is used by machinists, fabricators, quality control technicians, and tradespeople who need a compact, readable metric rule for close-tolerance layout and inspection work.

The MITUTOYO 182-211 is suited for use in precision measurement environments including machine shops, fabrication facilities, and field service applications where compact metric rules are required. Its flexible construction makes it particularly useful when measuring along curved surfaces, pipe diameters, or contoured workpieces where a rigid rule would bridge the surface and introduce measurement error. The silver satin chrome finish provides clear contrast for graduation readability. No hook is included, and the rule is not magnetic.

Key Features

• Flexible stainless steel construction conforms to curved and irregular surfaces
• Dual metric graduation in 0.5 mm and 1 mm increments for fine and coarse measurement
• Satin chrome-plated finish reduces glare and resists corrosion
• Compact 150 mm length suits close-quarters measurement tasks
• Horizontal scale orientation for straightforward left-to-right reading
• No hook or magnet — clean, snag-free profile for layout and inspection use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard flexible metric steel rule suitable for general precision measurement, layout, and inspection tasks across machining, fabrication, and trade service applications.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this hand tool. Store the rule flat or in a protective sleeve to prevent permanent bends that could affect measurement accuracy. Avoid using the rule as a cutting guide with sharp tools, as blade contact can damage the graduation markings and compromise accuracy. Clean the rule with a dry or lightly oiled cloth to maintain the chrome finish and prevent surface corrosion.
