Question 8

What is a Steel Rule?

Answer 8

• A device used in geometry and technical drawing, as well as the engineering and construction industries, to measure distances or draw straight lines.
• Graduated in inch and / or millimeters.
• Commonly used measuring tool for getting rough measurements on a part.

Question 9

How to care for a Steel Rule?

Answer 9

• Handle carefully.
• The zero end of the rule must be kept in perfect condition to maintain accuracy.
• The primary purpose is accurate measurement, they can also be used as guides for laying out line. Also, check the flatness of a par.
