The Mitutoyo 182-205 Steel Rule is a compact dimensional measuring tool for applications that require clear, precise linear measurements in both English and metric units. With a 6-inch (150 mm) length and 1/2-inch (12.70 mm) width, this flexible rule is well suited to general inspection, layout, fabrication, machining, maintenance and workshop measurement tasks.
Made from stainless steel, the rule combines a practical construction with a satin chrome finish. The hardened and tempered scale provides a stable measuring surface, while the satin chrome coating helps make the graduations easy to read under typical workshop lighting.
The Mitutoyo 182-205 uses an English/Metric graduation style, with inch graduations of 1/32" and 1/64" and metric graduations of 1 mm and 0.5 mm. This dual-scale format allows users to work with either measurement system without switching tools.
Its flexible construction is useful when taking measurements where a rigid rule may be less convenient. The 6-inch size also makes the steel rule easy to handle for quick dimensional checks and portable inspection work.
Precision Scales: Clearly defined graduations provide practical reference points for dimensional measurement and inspection.
English/Metric Graduations: Dual-scale markings allow measurements in both imperial and metric units.
Hardened and Tempered Construction: The scale is hardened and tempered for a robust measuring surface suitable for regular workshop use.
Satin Chrome Finish: The satin chrome coating provides a clean, readable surface for checking graduations.
Stainless Steel Material: Stainless steel construction provides a practical foundation for repeated measuring applications.
Flexible Design: The flexible format can be useful when measuring around or against surfaces where a rigid rule may be less convenient.
Compact 6-Inch Length: The 150 mm length is suitable for short-distance dimensional checks, layout work and general inspection.
Dual Measurement Increments: Inch graduations of 1/32" and 1/64" are combined with 1 mm and 0.5 mm metric graduations.
