Folding Ruler Vorel 12200 — PVC and Steel, Length 20 m, Width 10 mm

The Vorel 12200 folding ruler combines a steel core with a protective PVC coating to provide a flexible, durable measuring tool for construction and renovation tasks. With a total length of 20 m and a compact folded form, the tape is designed for measuring long distances on site while resisting abrasion and moisture. The 10 mm width gives a clear, stable measuring edge that maintains accuracy during handling and transport.

Advantages

The PVC outer layer protects the steel tape from corrosion and mechanical wear, extending service life in demanding environments. The steel inner layer offers stiffness and minimal elongation, ensuring consistent measurements over long spans. The folding design reduces storage space and simplifies transport between job sites. Clear scale markings printed on the tape improve legibility for quick readings.

Suitable for

• Measuring long distances on construction sites
• Layout and alignment tasks during renovation
• Site surveys and outdoor measurements
• Inclusion in professional or hobbyist toolkits

Key specifications

• Total length: 20 m
• Material composition: PVC coating with steel core
• Width of tape: 10 mm
• Design: folding tape for compact storage
• Intended use: long-distance measurement for construction and renovation

How to use

Extend the tape to the required length and ensure the tape runs straight between measurement points to avoid sagging that can affect accuracy. Read the printed scale at eye level and keep the tape under slight tension for precise results. Fold the tape carefully along its joints after use to avoid kinking the PVC coating or stressing the steel core. Store the folded tape in a dry place to minimize corrosion risk and mechanical damage.

Usage recommendations

For best accuracy on long runs, support the tape at intermediate points or use a second person to hold the far end. Clean the tape with a soft cloth after use and avoid harsh chemicals that may degrade the PVC coating. When working in wet or dusty environments, inspect the tape regularly for wear and replace if markings become unreadable.
