Skin Fold Caliper
Model Number: MT-4015
The Skin Fold Caliper from Micro Technologies is an anthropometric measuring instrument designed for determining skinfold thickness at selected anatomical sites. The MT-4015 features a dial-type reading arrangement and spring-operated measuring jaws, making it suitable for anthropometry, body composition assessment, physical measurement and research applications.
Product Specification
The Skin Fold Caliper from Micro Technologies is designed for anthropometric measurement of skinfold thickness at selected anatomical locations. Skinfold measurement is commonly used as a practical method for collecting data related to subcutaneous tissue thickness and body composition assessment.
The MT-4015 incorporates a dial-type measuring mechanism connected to a spring-operated caliper arrangement. The measuring jaws are positioned around a properly prepared skinfold, and the resulting thickness can be observed from the instrument's dial according to the applicable measurement procedure.
The curved caliper configuration provides convenient access to different anatomical measurement sites. Its handheld construction allows the instrument to be positioned as required while performing standardized anthropometric measurements.
Skinfold thickness measurements can be collected from selected body sites according to the specific assessment protocol being followed. Multiple measurements may be used as part of broader anthropometric and body composition studies.
The dial display provides a clear mechanical indication of the measured skinfold thickness. This eliminates dependence on an electronic display and makes the instrument convenient for routine laboratory, field and research applications.
Consistent measurement technique is important when using a skinfold caliper. Anatomical site identification, skinfold preparation, jaw placement and reading procedure should therefore follow the relevant anthropometric protocol to improve repeatability between measurements.
The instrument can complement other anthropometric equipment used for measuring body dimensions and physical characteristics. When used together with instruments for height, circumference and other body measurements, it can contribute to a broader anthropometric assessment.
Its compact handheld construction makes the caliper convenient to carry, operate and store. The mechanical configuration is also suitable for repeated measurements where a straightforward skinfold measuring instrument is required.
The Skin Fold Caliper can be useful in anthropometry, physical anthropology, human body measurement, body composition research, sports science and related laboratory investigations where skinfold thickness data is required.
Manufactured and supplied by Micro Technologies, the Skin Fold Caliper is suitable for anthropometry laboratories, research facilities, sports science laboratories, human performance studies and other professional applications involving standardized skinfold measurements.
