Measuring scale SOLA SCALE LAB 1000 — rigid 1000 mm laboratory scale

SOLA SCALE LAB 1000 — rigid 1000 mm laboratory scale is a one-metre straight edge designed for precise linear measurement in laboratory and workshop environments. Manufactured by SOLA, this measuring scale offers a stable, straight reference for distance checks, layout work, alignment tasks and quality control procedures. The solid construction ensures minimal flexing and reliably repeatable measurements when used as a fixed reference in fixtures, jigs or assembly setups.

Advantages

The rigid 1000 mm format provides a full metre reference length without joints or extensions, reducing measurement error when comparing or marking parts. Robust materials and accurate machining deliver a straight edge that resists bending under typical handling. Its laboratory-oriented design makes it suitable for controlled environments where a stable, traceable linear reference is required for inspection, calibration or layout tasks.

Suitable for

• Precision layout and marking in workshops and labs
• Reference edge for inspection and quality control
• Use in fixtures, jigs and assembly lines requiring a fixed one-metre standard
• Distance checks and alignment of components or assemblies

Key specifications

• Length: 1000 mm rigid straight edge
• Intended use: laboratory and workshop linear measurement
• Form factor: single-piece straight ruler / scale
• Primary function: accurate distance reference, layout and alignment
• Durability: designed to resist flexing during normal handling

How to use

Place the SOLA SCALE LAB 1000 on the surface or against the workpiece to establish a straight, one-metre reference line. For marking, align the scale with layout lines or datum points and scribe or mark along the edge. When used for inspection, position the scale against the feature to be checked and read or compare positions visually or with additional measuring tools. Secure the scale in a fixture or clamp when repeatability is required; avoid applying excessive force that could deform the edge.

Usage recommendations

Store the scale flat or hung by designed supports to prevent bending. Clean the edge before critical measurements to remove chips or debris. Use in combination with calibrated measuring instruments when traceable accuracy is necessary for quality control. Avoid using the scale as a lever or pry bar to preserve straightness and measurement integrity.
