Product Details
The Harpenden Anthropometer is a versatile anthropometric tool used to measure standing height, sitting height and arm length. Its counter recording instrument is effortlessly operated from the tips of its branches.
By means of their free fingertips, the Harpenden Anthropometer user can actually feel their way to their desired measuring points in order to obtain a degree of accuracy not possible with conventional anthropometers. This instrument gives a direct and accurate reading, to the nearest millimeter, over a range of 50 mm to 570 mm.
It is primarily constructed of light alloy anodized to its natural color. Its sliding member operates via miniature ball-bearing rollers in order to ensure a movement which is free yet without cross-play.
Each instrument is supplied in a well-made carrying case, complete with straight and recurved branches, a spare counter and beam extensions for the measuring of heights of up to two meters (When using these a constant should be added to the counter reading).
