Sextant Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : EL-T-3732
Jlab Export is a leading Sextant Manufacturer,and suppliers in India
Sextant (code EL-T-3732) is a sextant for the maths lab that determines the angle of any object in comparison to the horizon. It consists of a small hollow pipe mounted on a chassis with a few reflective mirrors and a 60 degree arc; once the arm and mirror bring the object into line with the horizon, the angle is read from the arc. It is made by Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd (JLab) at its works in Ambala, India.

What Is the Sextant Used For?
Sextants have been used for hundreds of years to find the angle of an object above the horizon; at sea, the angle of the sun or a star told navigators their latitude. The instrument takes its name from its arc, which is one-sixth of a circle. In the maths lab the same idea serves trigonometry: the angle of elevation of a building or a flagpole, combined with a measured horizontal distance and the tangent ratio, gives its height — the heights and distances topic of class 10 in CBSE and ICSE schools.
A sextant also suits geography and physics lessons on navigation and reflection, and a display of angle-measuring instruments next to a clinometer and a theodolite model, where students compare how each one reads an angle.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Quantity — the number of sextants for your maths lab or class groups.
- Other angle-measuring aids — a clinometer, theodolite model or trigonometry board kit can be quoted on the same enquiry.
- Delivery details — the delivery city, or for export the destination port and delivery terms.
- Tender reference — if the purchase is against a tender, its reference and item description.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a sextant measure?
The angle of an object in comparison to the horizon.
How is the angle read on this sextant?
The arm and mirror are adjusted until the object lines up with the horizon, and the angle is then read from the 60 degree arc.
Why is it called a sextant?
Because its arc is one-sixth of a full circle, which is 60 degrees.
How does a sextant help with heights and distances?
It gives the angle of elevation of an object. With the horizontal distance to the object, the tangent of that angle gives the height above eye level.
What should an export enquiry include?
The quantity, the destination country and port or city, delivery terms such as FOB or CIF, packing or labelling needs, and any tender reference.
Who manufactures this sextant?
Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, trading as JLab, at its works in Ambala, Haryana, India.
OEM Manufacturer
JLab is the trading name of Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, a manufacturer of maths lab, science and survey teaching equipment in India, incorporated in 2017 and based on Hargolal Road, Ambala, Haryana. The sextant is made in JLab’s own works, not sourced from a trader, so schools, colleges, dealers and importers buy direct from the manufacturer; each sextant is visually inspected before dispatch, and repeat orders are handled by the same works. The company is registered under CIN U29309HR2017PTC069123 and holds MSME Udyam registration UDYAM-HR-01-0003849 as a manufacturing enterprise. JLab exports worldwide and ships to buyers in every region — for example Indonesia in Southeast Asia, Greece in Southern Europe, Liberia in West Africa, Malawi in East Africa and Morocco in North Africa. Tender details are on the JLab lab tenders page.
