At 12 inches overall length and 0.5 inches wide, this rule features a satin chrome-plated finish and 4R graduation style, providing four scales on a single blade: 1\/16 inch, 1\/32 inch, 1\/64 inch, and 1\/8 inch. The flexible construction allows the blade to conform to curved or irregular surfaces where a rigid rule would produce inaccurate readings. At 0.25 pounds, it is lightweight enough for one-handed use during layout and inspection tasks. Machinists, pipefitters, plumbers, and HVAC technicians use this type of rule for quick field measurements and layout work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe MITUTOYO 182-221 suits residential and commercial trade environments where flexible measurement is required on curved pipe, ductwork, conduit, or irregular substrates. The horizontal scale orientation supports straightforward left-to-right reading. The rule does not include a hook and is non-magnetic, making it appropriate for use near sensitive electronic components or in environments where magnetic tools are restricted. It is sold individually and packaged as a single unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible blade conforms to curved and irregular surfaces for accurate measurement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4R graduation style with four scales: 1\/16 inch, 1\/32 inch, 1\/64 inch, and 1\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSatin chrome-plated stainless steel construction resists corrosion and glare\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade thickness of 0.0200 inches allows tight-clearance measurement tasks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-magnetic design suitable for use near electronic components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.25 pounds for extended one-handed use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose flexible steel rule for trade and industrial measurement applications requiring 4R graduation on a 12-inch stainless steel blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo installation is required for this measuring tool. Store the rule flat or in a protective sleeve to prevent permanent bending of the flexible blade. Avoid using the blade as a prying or scraping tool, as this can distort the graduation markings. Clean with a dry cloth after use in wet or oily environments to maintain the satin chrome finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Satin Chrome-Plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: Silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0200 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGraduation Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4R\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGraduation Scales\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/16 inch, 1\/32 inch, 1\/64 inch, 1\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlexibility\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flexible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale Orientation\u003c\/strong\u003e: Horizontal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes Hook\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMagnetic\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 41111604\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MITUTOYO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 182-221\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MITUTOYO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51561206055218,"sku":"182-221","price":47.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e8df610e150de6afdce9e4ece8b7cf9f_8de7027b-0d41-4cbf-bc24-9272876deb4c.jpg?v=1786463095","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/mitutoyo-182-221-flexible-steel-rule-12-in-4r","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
