Description
The MITUTOYO 182-102 is a rigid stainless steel rule designed for precise linear measurement in trade and industrial applications. The rule measures 6 inches in overall length and 3/4 inches in overall width, with a thickness of 0.05 inches. It carries a 16R graduation style, providing four graduation increments: 1/100, 1/32, 1/50, and 1/64 inches. The satin chrome-plated finish reduces glare for easier reading under shop lighting. This is a hand-measurement tool intended for machinists, fabricators, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and other trade professionals who require accurate layout and measurement during fabrication or installation work.
The 182-102 is suited for bench work, field layout, and general-purpose measurement tasks across residential and commercial trade applications. Its rigid construction keeps the rule flat against a work surface, making it reliable for marking cut lines, checking dimensions on pipe, conduit, sheet metal, or structural components. The horizontal scale orientation and silver satin chrome finish support fast, accurate reading in variable lighting conditions.
