Folding ruler STABILA 01231 — Beech 3 m, 17 mm width, metric

STABILA 01231 is a 3 m folding ruler manufactured from carefully selected European beech. The ruler has a 17 mm wide profile, metric scale on both edges and a compact folding design that facilitates storage and transport. Its painted finish protects the wood and scale while the clear large digits and red tens improve readability in varied lighting conditions.

Advantages

The beech construction provides a balance of break resistance and elasticity. High-strength clasping joint plates, a concealed rivet and hardened steel springs ensure smooth folding, long service life and reliable locking. The wear- and weather-resistant paint preserves the measuring scale and surface, and the ruler meets European metrology requirements with CE marking and an EC Type Examination Certificate.

How to use

Unfold the ruler to the required length and engage the joints until the sections lock in a straight line to measure linear distances. For folding and storage, fold the sections back together along the joints until compact. Clean the painted surface and scale with a soft cloth to remove dirt; avoid soaking the wood to maintain accuracy and condition.

Usage recommendations

Use the folding ruler on flat surfaces for best accuracy, avoid heavy impact on the joints, and store in a dry place to prevent swelling or warping of the wooden sections.
