The rule measures 12 inches (300 mm) in overall length and 1\/2 inch in overall width, with a satin chrome-plated finish that reduces glare for easier reading under shop lighting. Graduations are marked in both English and metric, with inch-side divisions at 1\/32 and 1\/64 inch. The horizontal scale orientation and 0.020-inch thickness allow the rule to flex around workpieces without kinking. Machinists, tool-and-die technicians, sheet metal workers, and quality control inspectors are the primary users of this type of rule.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis rule suits general-purpose precision measurement in machine shops, fabrication facilities, and inspection environments. It works well for measuring inside radii, checking contoured surfaces, and taking direct readings where a stiff rule would lift off the part. The dual English and metric graduations on a single blade reduce the need to switch tools when working from drawings that mix unit systems. The satin chrome finish minimizes light reflection, which is particularly useful under fluorescent or LED shop lighting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible stainless steel blade conforms to curved and contoured surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual graduation system: 1\/32 and 1\/64 inch on the English side, 0.5 mm and 1.0 mm on the metric side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSatin chrome-plated finish reduces glare and resists corrosion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12 inches (300 mm) overall length with 1\/2-inch width for easy handling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorizontal scale orientation for straightforward direct reading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo hook or magnet — clean, simple blade format for versatile use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard flexible steel rule for use in general machining, fabrication, and inspection applications where English and metric graduations are required on a single blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo installation is required for this measuring tool. Store the rule flat or rolled loosely to avoid permanent bends or kinks in the blade. Clean with a lint-free cloth after use to prevent buildup that could obscure graduation markings. Do not use the rule as a cutting guide with a utility knife, as this can nick the graduated edge and compromise measurement accuracy.\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\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12 inches (300 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0200 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGraduation (Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/32 inch and 1\/64 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGraduation (Metric)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 mm and 1.0 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGraduation Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: English and Metric\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale Orientation\u003c\/strong\u003e: Horizontal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlexibility\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flexible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: Silver\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: 0.15 pounds\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: 182-225\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MITUTOYO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51562819518770,"sku":"182-225","price":47.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e8df610e150de6afdce9e4ece8b7cf9f_f9af8d87-0715-49d5-9e69-2f969654aca7.jpg?v=1786485122","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/mitutoyo-182-225-flexible-steel-rule-12-inches","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
