Ruler Milan 30 cm metal-edged transparent measuring scale model 235837

The Milan 30 cm metal-edged transparent measuring scale model 235837 is a transparent plastic ruler with a metal reinforcement along one edge and clear metric graduations up to 30 centimetres. It is designed to provide a stable straight edge and accurate linear measurements for drawing, drafting, classroom exercises and general everyday measuring tasks. The transparent body helps with placement over drawings and text while the metal edge maintains straightness and resists wear.

Advantages

The metal-edged construction increases durability and prevents warping or chipping of the edge used for drawing. Transparent material allows precise alignment over underlying work without obscuring details, and the clearly printed metric scale ensures easy reading of millimetre and centimetre marks. The slim profile is convenient to carry in a pencil case or folder and the robust edge supports repeated use in school, office or technical environments.

Suitable for

• Schoolwork: geometry, drawing and measuring exercises
• Office use: drawing straight lines, quick measurements and layout tasks
• Technical and design work: drafting, sketching and detail alignment
• Everyday tasks: home measurements and craft projects

Key specifications

• Length: 30 centimetres measured along the scale
• Scale type: metric graduations with centimetre and millimetre markings
• Material: transparent plastic body with metal-edged reinforcement
• Profile: slim, flat ruler suitable for precise alignment
• Marking visibility: high-contrast printed graduations for easy reading

How to use

Place the ruler so the metal edge lies against the line or point to be measured or drawn. For drawing straight lines, hold the ruler firmly to prevent slipping and guide the pen or pencil along the metal edge. For measuring, align the zero mark with the starting point and read the measurement at the end point using the nearest millimetre marking. The transparent body allows you to position the ruler accurately over printed or drawn elements without obstructing the view.

Usage recommendations

To maintain accuracy and prolong service life, avoid bending or exposing the ruler to high heat and clean markings gently with a soft cloth. Use the metal edge for drafting and repetitive straight-line work to reduce wear on the plastic and keep graduations legible.
