Spi 13-929-5 Flexible Steel Rule 24 Inches

Product Description

The SPI 13-929-5 is a flexible steel rule measuring 24 inches in overall length and 3/4 inches in overall width. Finished in black chrome plating over steel, it delivers clean contrast for easy reading in low-light shop environments. The rule carries both English and Metric graduation styles on a horizontal scale orientation, with English graduation marks at 1/2, 1/32, and 1/64 inches. It is designed for machinists, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and other tradespeople who need a durable, accurate linear measuring tool for layout, fabrication, and field measurement tasks.

This rule is suited for both bench and field use where a rigid rule would be impractical. The flexible body allows it to conform to curved or irregular surfaces, making it a practical choice for pipe work, duct layout, sheet metal fabrication, and general mechanical measurement. At 0.0200 inches thick, it is slim enough to slip into tight clearances without interfering with adjacent components. The included package quantity is one rule per unit.

Key Features

• Flexible steel construction allows measurement on curved and irregular surfaces
• Black chrome-plated finish provides high contrast and corrosion resistance
• Dual English and Metric graduation for versatile use across applications
• Fine English graduations at 1/2, 1/32, and 1/64 inches for precise layout work
• Horizontal scale orientation for straightforward linear reading
• Slim 0.0200-inch thickness fits into tight spaces and close-tolerance applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose flexible steel rule suitable for trade and industrial measurement applications where both English and Metric graduations are required.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this measuring tool. Store the rule flat or rolled loosely to avoid permanent kinking of the flexible blade. Keep the chrome-plated surface clean and dry to maintain graduation legibility and resist corrosion. Inspect graduation markings periodically for wear, particularly in high-use shop environments.
