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.
