Skin Fold Caliper
Product Code : JA-SFC-2408
The Skin Fold Caliper (SKU JA-SFC-2408) measures the thickness of a pinched fold of skin and the fat beneath it at standard body sites, the basis of body-fat estimation in anthropometry. This skinfold caliper reads 0 to 80 mm on a dial graduated in 0.20 mm and applies a jaw pressure of 10 g/mm² that stays constant across the range, keeping the measuring force the same whatever the fold thickness. It is supplied by JaincoLab for physiology, nutrition and sports science laboratories.
Specifications
The caliper measures from 0 to 80 mm with 0.20 mm dial graduation and 0.20 mm repeatability, at a measuring pressure of 10 g/mm² that stays constant over the range; the listed accuracy is 99.00%.
