Meter Scale 50 cm (Product Code: SCL234/017) is a graduated steel half-metre rule used for measuring lengths on the lab bench in schools and laboratories. At 50 cm it is easier to handle than a full metre rule when drawing ray diagrams, reading spring extensions or checking the size of small apparatus, and it fits neatly into a student kit. It is one of the school lab instruments made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

The shorter length makes this scale the everyday rule for work done flat on the bench. In optics practicals students use its steel edge to draw incident and refracted rays through a glass slab or prism on a drawing board; in the parallelogram-law practical they draw force lines to scale; and with a spring clamped to a stand they read the extension as loads are added.
Hold the scale on edge against the line being measured and read with your eye straight above the mark to avoid parallax. Because it is steel, the edge stays straight for ruling lines, and the rule can be wiped clean after use with ink or water. Keep one per student pair and a metre rule per bench for longer distances.
The Meter Scale 50 cm is an OEM product: Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the company that trades as ScienceLab, is its original equipment manufacturer. The scales are made at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and dispatched directly to schools, colleges, dealers and importers.
Because the manufacturer quotes directly, student-kit quantities can be combined with other bench apparatus in one order — just ask us. Background on the company is on the ScienceLab profile.

How long is the Meter Scale 50 cm and what is it made of?
The Meter Scale 50 cm is a graduated steel rule half a metre long. It is intended for laboratories and schools, where it is used for bench measurements, ray diagrams and reading spring extensions.
When should I choose the Meter Scale 50 cm over a full metre rule?
Choose the Meter Scale 50 cm for work on the bench top, drawing boards and student kits, where a shorter rule is easier to handle. Use a full metre rule for pendulum lengths and optical-bench distances.
Can the Meter Scale 50 cm be used as a straight edge?
Yes. The steel Meter Scale 50 cm keeps a straight edge, so students can rule ray diagrams and force lines with it as well as measure. Wipe the edge clean after drawing so ink or graphite does not hide the graduations.
Who manufactures the Meter Scale 50 cm?
The Meter Scale 50 cm is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Schools, dealers and importers receive quotations directly from the manufacturer.
Can the Meter Scale 50 cm be supplied for export orders?
