What Is the Tape Measure Used For?
A flexible tape follows curves that a rigid ruler cannot, so it is the natural tool for measuring the circumference of a ball, a tree trunk or a beaker, the length of a pendulum string, or body measurements such as arm span, hand span and height in biology and maths activities on variation and data handling. Having inches on one face and centimetres on the other also lets students compare the two systems directly — a quick way to show that one inch is about two and a half centimetres. Keep the tape straight when measuring and let it retract under control.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Quantity — the minimum order is 10 tapes; class sets are usually one per student or per pair.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the tape and what scales does it have?
It measures 60 inches on one side and 150 cm on the other, so imperial and metric readings are both available.
Does it retract automatically?
Yes. It is an automatic tape that locks and holds in position and retracts at the touch of a button.
How does it differ from the Customary Tape Measure?
This model is an automatic, lockable pocket tape with push-button retraction. The Customary Tape Measure is a plastic tape with inches on one side and centimetres and millimetres on the reverse, and its listing does not mention a retracting case.
Who manufactures it?
JLab (Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd) makes it at its works in Ambala, Haryana.
OEM Manufacturer
JLab is the trading name of Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, a school lab equipment manufacturer in India, incorporated in 2017 and based on Hargolal Road, Ambala, Haryana. The tape measure is made at JLab’s own works rather than bought from a trader, so schools, dealers and importers buy class sets direct from the manufacturer, with every tape checked before it is packed. JLab exports worldwide and ships to buyers in every region — for example Afghanistan in South Asia, Chad in Central Africa, Papua New Guinea in Oceania, Canada in North America and Malaysia in Southeast Asia.
Other Length-Measuring Tools
- Measuring Wheel — an all-terrain wheel for measuring long distances outdoors.
- Flexible Ruler — a bendable ruler with inch and metric calibrations for curved surfaces.
- Angle/Linear Ruler — a clear plastic ruler measuring inches, centimetres and degrees.
