Wooden Ruler 1 Metre
Product Code : LSK-PL-10333
Wooden Ruler 1 Metre (SKU LSK-PL-10333), often called a metre rule or metre stick, is a well-finished hardwood ruler graduated in centimetres and millimetres along both edges. One edge reads 0–100 cm from left to right and the other runs in reverse, which makes it practical for optics benches, pendulums and levers in school and college physics labs. Science Lab Supplies makes the ruler at its Saha, Ambala factory (Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, India) and sells it direct to schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The ruler is made of hardwood and is one metre long. Both edges carry centimetre and millimetre graduations; the first edge is numbered 0–100 cm left to right, and the second edge is numbered in the reverse direction, so readings can be taken from either end.

Applications and Experiments for the Wooden Ruler 1 Metre
A metre rule is the basic length reference of a physics lab. The dual-direction numbering lets students measure from either end without subtracting readings, which is handy when the zero must sit at a lens, a pivot or a clamp. The millimetre graduations suit Class 9–12 practical work.
- Class 9–11: measuring pendulum length for time-period experiments.
- Class 10 and 12 optics: measuring object and image distances for mirrors and lenses.
- Principle of moments: using the rule as a balanced lever with masses hung along it.
- General measurement of lengths and heights in mechanics practicals.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Wooden Ruler 1 Metre is supplied as a single unit as described above; any optional accessories are listed on the quotation. Knife-edge clamps, stands or masses for lever work are separate items and can be added to the same enquiry.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Quotations can be made for one ruler or a full set for every bench in the lab; each states the packing, delivery time and price for the quantity you request. Calipers and micrometers can share the quotation.
Science Lab Supplies holds an Importer-Exporter Code as a registered exporter and can ship to buyers in Qatar, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Malaysia, Peru and Egypt. Enquiries reach the team via the contact page or the enquiry cart, and tender details are on the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the Wooden Ruler 1 Metre numbered in both directions?
One edge reads 0–100 cm left to right and the other in reverse, so a length can be read directly from either end without subtracting one reading from another.
What graduations does it have?
Both edges are graduated in centimetres and millimetres, giving a smallest division of 1 mm along the full metre.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
It is the manufacturer; the rulers are produced in its own factory at Saha, Ambala, India, and orders are quoted straight from there.
Can it be used as a lever for the principle of moments?
Yes, a metre rule is commonly balanced on a knife edge for moments experiments; the knife edge and masses are ordered separately.
Related Length Measuring Instruments
These four instruments extend length measurement beyond the metre rule: a rulers set with other lengths, a vernier caliper for small dimensions, a micrometer for wire diameters, and a spherometer for curvature, covering the measurement practicals of secondary and college physics on one quotation.
