#106 EPL 60cm Acrylic Rule
An "acrylic rule" is a measuring tool made from acrylic plastic, known for its total transparency and durability.
Acrylic rules are resistant to shattering and can be more flexible than glass or wood rules.
The rule, typically flat and rectangular, with a consistent thickness. The edge is straight and often has a sharp, clear line for accurate measurements. Normally the other edge is chamfered, so as to aid in more accurate line drawing.
One of the standout features is its transparency, allowing you to see through the rule. This feature is particularly useful for aligning measurements with underlying materials or drawings without obstruction.
Usually the measurements are either etched or printed on the surface. The markings can be in various units, such as inches, centimeters, or millimeters. They are often designed for high visibility, sometimes with contrasting colours or backgrounds to enhance readability.
The surface is often smooth and polished, which helps reduce friction and wear. Acrylic rules may have a frosted or matte finish on the edges to minimize glare and improve readability.
Acrylic is less prone to warping or bending compared to some other materials and is resistant to environmental factors like moisture and temperature changes.
Acrylic rules are commonly used in drafting, graphic design, architecture, and other fields where precision and clarity are important. They are also popular in educational settings for their ease of use and visual clarity.
Overall, an acrylic rule combines the precision of a traditional straightedge with the benefits of modern materials, offering both functionality and a sleek, professional appearance.
