FAQs
What materials is the ruler made from?
The ruler is made from white ABS plastic, known for its durability and impact resistance.
How many scales are included on the ruler?
The ruler includes 12 common scales: 1:1, 1:10, 1:2, 1:20, 1:5, 1:50, 1:100, 1:200, 1:500, 1:1000, 1:1250, and 1:2500.
What does 'colour-coded' mean for the sides?
Each of the three sides of the triangular ruler is a different colour, with the scales printed on that side. This helps users quickly identify and select the correct scale.
Is the protective case included?
Yes, one re-useable rigid plastic case is supplied with the ruler.
Where is this ruler manufactured?
This Rulex scale ruler is manufactured in the UK.
Can I use this ruler for both metric and imperial scales?
The scales provided (e.g., 1:100, 1:50) are standard ratios used internationally for both metric and imperial systems depending on the context of the drawing. The ruler itself is a measurement tool, and the interpretation of scale depends on the project's requirements.
How should I clean the ruler?
Clean the ruler with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the markings or the plastic.
Troubleshooting
Inaccurate readings
Ensure the ruler is placed flat on the drawing surface and that the correct scale is aligned with the drawing unit. Check for any dirt or damage on the edges.
Difficulty selecting a scale
Refer to the colour coding on each side of the ruler. Each colour corresponds to a specific scale, clearly marked alongside it.
Ruler appears warped
Store the ruler flat in its case and avoid exposure to extreme temperatures. If warping is significant, accuracy may be compromised, and replacement might be necessary.
