Applications

|
| ||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Construction / Building Site | Measuring tools used by contractors, carpenters, surveyors, or builders, for framing, layout, or rafters or stairs, foundation construction, cabinetry, mapping, executing site plans and checking building, or wall surfaces. Typically, construction tools require a greater measurement range, higher durability and less precision than machine shop measuring tools or gages. | ||
| Machine Shop / Tool Room | Precision measuring tools used by machinists, engineers, technicians or operators for layout, machine set up and checking of surfaces or parts. | ||
| Light Duty / Office | Lower precision, light weight, or lower cost measuring tools or instruments for office, residential, drafting, or other nondemanding end use. | ||
| Surveying / Field Work | Measuring tools used by surveyors or field technologists for mapping, executing site plans, and checking building or wall surfaces. Typically, surveying tools require a greater measurement range and higher durability than machine shop measuring tools or gages. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary applications. | ||

Square Type

|
|
| ||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Adjustable / Die Makers' Square | A die maker's squares are used to measure small angular variations (+/- 10o) from square. These squares are commonly used for measuring angles, die clearances, and pattern drafts. They often come with different attachments such as offset, bevel, or ruled blades. | ||
| Carpenter / Rafter Square | Large, flat, "L" shaped square used for measurement and marking of boards, large sheets, or other building materials. These squares are commonly applied in laying out rafters, framing, or other contractor work. | ||
| Cylindrical Square | Cylindrical squares have a cylindrical shape and are commonly used to check other squares in machine shop or inspection room settings. Some cylindrical squares will provide graduations indicating the variation from square. | ||
| Combination Set / Square | Combination squares measure length, center, angular or squareness determination, and have transfer or marking capability. These multiple tasks are possible because these sets have a series of optional heads (square, center or protractor). | ||
| Double Square | A precision square with a square head that slides onto a blade or rule. The square head has two square surfaces and usually a variety of optional blade types such as bevel blades, drill point angle blades, and ruled blades. | ||
| Try Square | Try squares consist of a short blade and a beam or handle section that forms an "L" shape. The beam is thicker compared to the blade, which facilitates location of the square on an edge. "L" squares are used for general shop marking, measuring, and checking squareness of components. | ||
| "T" Square | "T" or dry wall squares have a long blade and a beam or handle section that forms the top of the "T" shape. The beam is thicker compared to the blade, which facilitates location of the square on an edge. "T" squares are used for marking, measuring, and checking squareness of large flat sheets of materials such as drywall. "T" squares are available in fixed or folding versions. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary square type. | ||

| |||
| Linear Ruled Square? | Level, square, protractor, or fixed gage having linear rulings for dimensional measurements. | ||
| Search Logic: | "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice. | ||

Specifications

|
|
| ||
| Blade Length: | The length of the rule or blade of a square. The blade length is the longer, flat leg of a square. On most rules, the rulings extend the full length of the tool and the length is equal to the range. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| |||
| Width: | Width of the rule, blade, square, or the level of a protractor or angle gage. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| |||
| Thickness: | Thickness of the rule, blade, square, or the level of a protractor or angle gage. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||

|
|
| ||
| Certificate of Calibration | Document indicating that the gage meets or has been calibrated to specific dimensional tolerance or gaging precision standards requirements. ANSI, ISO, DIN and NIST standards are used to control gage calibration. | ||
| Search Logic: | "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice. | ||
| |||
| Locking Feature | The measuring tool can be locked in the fixed position. | ||
| Search Logic: | "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice. | ||
| |||
| Materials | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Aluminum | A ductile, lightweight metal that has good electrical and thermal conductivity, high reflectivity, and resistance to oxidation. | ||
| Brass / Bronze | Brass and bronze are copper based alloys strengthened with additions of tin, zinc and other alloying elements. Brass and bronze alloys are machinable and have good corrosion resistance. | ||
| Plastic | Any of numerous organic, synthetic, or processed materials that consisting mainly of thermoplastic or thermosetting polymers of high molecular weight and that can be made into objects, films, or filaments. | ||
| Steel - Stainless | Stainless steel is rust and corrosion resistant and can have relatively high-pressure ratings. Stainless steel contains a base of iron with additions of chromium and nickel and other elements depending on the specific alloy. | ||
| Steel | A commercial iron alloy that contains carbon in any amount up to about 1.7 percent as an essential alloying constituent. Steel is formable in the annealed or unhardened condition. Steel can develop high strength and hardness after heat treatment or work hardening. Steel is distinguished from cast iron by its ductility and lower carbon content. | ||
