Working scale 1500 x 40 x 5 mm DIN 866/B — industrial steel rule with millimetre division

The Working scale 1500 x 40 x 5 mm DIN 866/B is an industrial steel rule designed for long-format measurement tasks in workshops and quality departments, offering a stable profile and standardised millimetre graduations.

• 1500 mm length for long-format measurements
• Ground special steel for stable accuracy
• Millimetre division according to DIN 866/B
• Designed for workshop and inspection use

Reliable long-format measurement for workshop use

A long-format measuring rule must combine rigidity with clear graduations; the 1500 mm length of this rule delivers reach without frequent repositioning, reducing cycle times during alignment and inspection tasks. The ground special steel profile resists twist and provides a uniform datum, which supports repeatable readings across the entire span. Clear, DIN-compliant millimetre markings simplify read-off and minimise interpretation errors on the shop floor, making the rule suitable for fixtures, long shafts and sheet-metal layouts.

Precision and standardisation that support production workflows

Manufactured to DIN 866/B, the scale provides defined graduation geometry and spacing that align with common metrological expectations in industrial environments. This standardisation ensures compatibility with measuring procedures and documentation practices used in production control. The robust, machined surfaces reduce wear and maintain legibility over extended use, contributing to consistent measurement results and lower rework rates.

Practical benefits for quality control and layout tasks

The combination of a rigid bar cross-section and a fine millimetre division enables both coarse positioning and finer alignment checks without additional tools. The rule’s form factor supports stable placement against edges and reference surfaces, allowing accurate linear reference measurements and step or depth comparisons. For teams that handle long components or series assembly, fewer transfers and simpler setups translate directly into time savings and greater throughput.

Built for workshop environments with traceable supply

Constructed from special steel and finished by precision grinding, the scale is built to withstand typical workshop handling while preserving its measuring capability. The profile and markings are made for everyday use in machine shops, fettling benches and quality labs. Sourcing through Metav ensures access to a well-stocked European supply chain and the added assurance of a supplier experienced in metrology and workshop equipment.

FAQ

What materials is this scale made from?
The Working scale 1500 x 40 x 5 mm DIN 866/B is made from special steel, ground, delivering mechanical stability and wear resistance suitable for workshop use.

Is the graduation compliant with an industrial standard?
Yes, the millimetre division is produced to DIN 866/B, ensuring standardised graduations for consistent documentation and measurement practices.

For which applications is this long-format rule intended?
This rule is intended for long-format measurements such as fixture setup, shaft and profile alignment, and layout tasks within production and inspection environments where a stable, rigid datum over 1500 mm is required.

How does the material and finishing affect repeatability?
The ground surface and special steel construction minimise deformation and surface wear, supporting repeatable measurements across the entire length and reducing measurement uncertainty caused by bar twist or marking degradation.
