500mm Flexible Bending Scale Double-Sided Graduations Top 1/2mm Bottom 1mm, Stainless Steel - Metav IndustryLine

Take advantage of a compact, flexible measuring tool that combines corrosion‑resistant stainless steel construction with clear double‑sided graduations (top 1/2 mm, bottom 1 mm) for fast, reliable layout work; order the rule directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult the Metav team for application advice.

M214.197 — Flexible steel rule, 500 mm, double-sided graduations

The M214.197 is a flexible steel rule designed for medium‑range layout and profiling tasks in workshops and production environments.

• Flexible stainless steel construction for contours
• Double-sided graduations for fine and coarse marking
• 500 mm length for medium-range measurement
• Slim 18 x 0.5 mm profile for easy handling

Precision where flexibility matters

A flexible measuring rule built from stainless steel allows reliable measurements on flat and curved surfaces without sacrificing legibility. The 500 mm length places this tool in the medium‑range category (suitable for larger components while remaining easy to guide by hand), and the double‑sided scale with 1/2 mm divisions on one face and 1 mm on the other speeds up layout work by offering a fine and a coarse scale in a single instrument. The combination of flexibility and a slim cross‑section supports quick transfer of dimensions while keeping the tool rigid enough for repeatable marks.

Practical benefits for workshop layout and profiling

The slim 18 x 0.5 mm profile balances manoeuvrability with sufficient stiffness for everyday use; it lies flat on surfaces yet bends when needed to follow contours, which reduces measuring time on pipes, chassis parts and formed sheet. At approximately 0.06 kg, the rule is lightweight and suitable for one‑hand operation during marking or scribing. Having both fine and coarser graduations on opposing faces eliminates frequent scale changes and reduces the likelihood of transcription errors, contributing to a faster and more efficient workflow on the shop floor.

Durable design for everyday reliability

Manufactured from corrosion‑resistant material and finished for long service life, this measuring rule withstands typical workshop conditions and keeps graduations legible over extended use. The flexible execution reduces the risk of permanent bending compared with softer alloys, while the clear dual markings support multi‑step measurements without additional tools. Supplied as a compact, easy‑to‑store rule, the instrument supports consistent results for layout, profiling and quick checks across a wide range of medium‑sized components.

FAQ

Can the rule measure curved surfaces accurately?
Yes. The Metav IndustryLine flexible steel rule M214.197 is designed to follow contours and provides accurate linear readings when applied correctly to curved surfaces.

Which applications is this rule best suited for?
The tool is ideal for layout, profiling and marking of medium‑sized components such as pipes, sheet metal assemblies and fixtures where a 500 mm reach and flexible contact are beneficial.

How visible are the graduations in workshop conditions?
Graduations on the M214.197 are clear on both faces (1/2 mm and 1 mm), ensuring good legibility under normal workshop lighting and reducing measurement errors during marking.

Is the material resistant to corrosion?
Yes. The rule is made from stainless steel, offering enhanced corrosion resistance suitable for common workshop environments.

Does the rule require special handling or storage?
No specialised storage is necessary; keeping the rule flat or in a drawer avoids excessive bending. The flexible design allows routine use without impairing scale accuracy.
