Mitutoyo 182-226 Flexible Steel Rule 12"/300mm Inch/Metric Satin Chrome

The Mitutoyo 182-226 is a fully flexible, dual-reading steel rule measuring 12 inches / 300mm in length. Constructed from tempered stainless steel with a satin chrome finish, it delivers the precision and durability Mitutoyo's Series 182 rules are known for in professional metrology and machining applications.

This rule features four graduation scales — two imperial and two metric — making it a versatile choice for both inch-based and millimeter-based measurement tasks. The slim 1/2-inch width and 1/64-inch thickness allow it to flex into tight spaces and conform to curved surfaces where rigid rules cannot reach.

Key Features:

• Length: 12 in / 300mm (dual-scale)
• Graduations: 1/50", 1/100", 1mm, and 0.5mm (four scales)
• Width: 1/2 in (12.7mm)
• Thickness: 1/64 in — fully flexible construction
• Accuracy: +.005" / -.0035" (+.013mm / -0.09mm)
• Finish: Satin chrome for high-contrast, glare-free graduation readability
• Material: Tempered stainless steel — corrosion-resistant and long-lasting

The anti-glare satin chrome finish ensures clear, easy-to-read graduation markings even in demanding shop floor or laboratory environments. The fully flexible design makes it ideal for layout work, inspection tasks, and reaching into recesses where a rigid rule would be impractical.
