These precision glass measuring rods have graduations and numbers consisting of vapour-coated hard chrome. One scale each available in metric and inch increments. A white strip serves as a background on one side of the numbers to allow them to be read off more easily. The chrome scales are equipped with two anodised grips on the sides for secure handling. The precision magnifiers (type 2016 with 15x magnification factors and 12 millimetre field of vision) in combination with the two lights. ensure simple, error-free read-off of the scale. The smallest increment on the inch scale is 0.005". The minimum increments on the metric scale are 0.1 millimetre. A further increase in the read-off accuracy is possible with the chrome micro-scale. Here an adapted analogue or digital dial gauge allows measurement of the distance between the one-tenth graduations. This allows precise measurements right down to one one-hundredth of a millimetre. These valuable precision glass measuring rods are delivered in a stable wooden case to protect them from damage. These chrome scale rods are available in lengths of 300, 500, 800, 1000, 1400, 1600 and 2000 millimetres. Special lengths available on request. These glass measuring rods have the advantage that their expansion is minimal when heated. Temperature variations therefore have hardly any effect when using chrome scale rods.
