Architect & Engineering Scales
Architect and engineering scales are specialized rulers used for creating and reading scaled drawings in architecture, engineering, and technical design.
- Architect Scales:
- Designed for proportional measurement in building plans.
- Feature multiple scales on one tool, such as 1/4" = 1', 1/8" = 1', and others, representing the relationship between the drawing and real-life dimensions.
- Commonly triangular, with six edges and a range of scales, to accommodate various project needs.
- Engineering Scales
- Used for drawings requiring precise decimal-based scaling, such as civil engineering plans.
- Typically measured in inches divided into tenths, with scales like 1:10, 1:20, or 1:50, which represent inches on the drawing to feet on the ground.
- Also often triangular for easy access to multiple scales.
Both tools ensure accuracy and clarity in translating designs into real-world dimensions.
