Harpenden Calliper Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : EL-ELA-5508
Jlab Export is a leading Harpenden Calliper Manufacturer,and suppliers in India
Harpenden Calliper (code EL-ELA-5508) is the Harpenden skinfold caliper, a precision instrument for measuring skinfold thickness, from which estimates of body fat are derived. Its dial is graduated in 0.20 mm over a 0 to 80 mm range, and the jaws apply a measuring pressure of 10 g/mm2 that stays constant over the range. JLab (Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, Ambala, India) supplies it to schools, colleges and dealers.

What Is the Harpenden Calliper Used For?
Skinfold measurement is a simple field method for estimating body composition. A fold of skin and the fat beneath it is lifted at standard body sites, such as the triceps or the area below the shoulder blade, and the caliper jaws close on it to give the thickness in millimetres. Because the Harpenden applies the same pressure across its whole range, thin and thick folds are compressed alike, which helps make readings comparable between sites and between testers. The thicknesses are then used in published prediction equations, such as those of Durnin and Womersley or Jackson and Pollock, to estimate the percentage of body fat.
The caliper is used in exercise physiology, sports science, physical education and nutrition courses at college and university level, and in anthropometry research and fitness testing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Harpenden calliper measure?
Skinfold thickness, from which estimates of body fat are derived. It reads from 0 to 80 mm on a dial graduated in 0.20 mm.
Why does a constant measuring pressure matter?
The jaw pressure is listed at 10 g/mm2 and stays constant over the range, so a thin fold and a thick fold are squeezed with the same force. That reduces one source of variation when results from different sites, subjects or testers are compared.
What repeatability and accuracy are listed?
The listing gives a repeatability of 0.20 mm, equal to one dial division, and an accuracy of 99.00%.
How does it differ from the JLab Skinfold Caliper listing?
That listing describes a stainless steel skinfold caliper with an analog dial and the same graduation, range and pressure figures; this one is the Harpenden-branded caliper.
What information is needed for an export quotation?
Send the quantity, the destination country and port or city, your preferred delivery terms (for example FOB or CIF), any packing or labelling needs, and the tender reference if the order is for a tender.
Who supplies the Harpenden calliper?
Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, trading as JLab, of Ambala, Haryana, India, supplies it to schools, colleges, dealers and importers.
Supplier
JLab is the trading name of Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, a laboratory and educational equipment company incorporated in 2017 and based on Hargolal Road, Ambala, Haryana. Alongside the apparatus in its own range, it resells branded instruments such as the Harpenden calliper, so physiology, sports science and nutrition departments can buy them on one order with their other lab equipment. JLab exports worldwide and ships to buyers in every region — for example Finland in Northern Europe, Madagascar in East Africa, Canada in North America, Cambodia in Southeast Asia and Egypt in North Africa. Tender details are on the JLab lab tenders page.
