Meter Scale 100 cm (Product Code: SCL232/016) is a graduated steel rule, one metre long, used to measure lengths and distances in school and laboratory physics practicals. Its full 100 cm length covers pendulum lengths, object and image distances on a bench and other long measurements that a short rule cannot take in one reading. This physics lab equipment is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

A metre rule is the first measuring tool in most mechanics and optics practicals. Students use it to set the length of a simple pendulum from the point of suspension to the centre of the bob, to measure object and image distances when finding the focal length of a lens or mirror, and to record the extension of a spring as loads are added.
To avoid parallax, read the scale with your eye directly above the mark, and if the zero end is worn, start from a clear graduation and subtract it. Lay the steel rule flat or on edge against the object rather than at an angle. For short, fine measurements switch to a vernier calliper; for anything longer than a metre, use a measuring tape.
ScienceLab is the brand of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of the Meter Scale 100 cm. The scales are made at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and go factory-direct to schools, colleges, dealers and importers instead of passing through traders.
Ordering from the maker keeps quotations simple when scales are bought with other lab apparatus, and repeat orders are handled by the same team — just ask us. The ScienceLab profile has more about the company.

How long is the Meter Scale 100 cm and what is it made of?
The Meter Scale 100 cm is a graduated steel rule one metre long. It is intended for use in laboratories and schools, where it measures pendulum lengths, lens and mirror distances and spring extensions.
Why choose a steel Meter Scale 100 cm instead of a wooden one?
A steel Meter Scale 100 cm keeps a straight, hard edge and does not swell or warp with damp the way wood can. That makes it a durable choice for busy school labs where scales are handled by many students.
How do I avoid reading errors with the Meter Scale 100 cm?
When using the Meter Scale 100 cm, keep your eye directly above the mark to avoid parallax, and if the zero end is worn, measure from a clear graduation and subtract it. Take repeat readings and average them.
Who manufactures the Meter Scale 100 cm?
The Meter Scale 100 cm is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Quotations are provided directly by the manufacturer, not through a trader.
Can the Meter Scale 100 cm be ordered in bulk?
