Spi 13-965-9 Flexible Steel Rule 72 in 10R Graduation

Product Description

The SPI 13-965-9 is a 72-inch flexible steel rule designed for layout, fabrication, and measurement work in industrial and trade settings. Made from polished steel, it delivers a clean, readable scale in horizontal orientation. The rule carries dual 10R graduation — 1/32 inch and 1/64 inch — on a single face, giving technicians the resolution needed for close-tolerance work. At 0.0200 inch thick and 3/4 inch wide, the blade is slim enough to flex into curved surfaces while remaining rigid enough for straight-line measurement. Machinists, pipefitters, sheet metal workers, and fabricators are the primary users of this tool.

This rule is suited for shops, job sites, and field applications where a long-reach flexible rule is required. The 72-inch overall length handles large workpieces, ductwork layout, pipe runs, and structural measurement without the need for repositioning. The polished silver finish aids contrast when reading fine graduations under typical shop lighting. No hook is included, and the rule is non-magnetic, making it compatible with use near sensitive components or in environments where magnetism is undesirable.

Key Features

• 72-inch overall length for large-scale layout and measurement tasks
• Dual 10R graduation: 1/32 inch and 1/64 inch on a single face
• Flexible steel blade conforms to curved or irregular surfaces
• Polished silver finish for high-contrast readability
• Non-magnetic construction — safe near sensitive equipment
• Horizontal scale orientation for consistent left-to-right reading

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose flexible steel rule suitable for industrial layout, fabrication, machining, and trade measurement applications requiring a 72-inch reach.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this hand tool. Store the rule flat or rolled loosely to prevent permanent bends or kinks in the blade. Clean with a dry cloth after use to protect the polished finish. Handle edges carefully — the steel blade edges can be sharp.
