Spreading Caliper 300 mm

The Spreading Caliper 300 mm from Micro Technologies is designed for anthropometric, craniometric and osteological measurements where the distance between two external anatomical landmarks needs to be determined accurately. Its spreading-arm configuration makes it particularly useful for measurements across curved anatomical surfaces.

The MT-4007 has a measuring capacity of 300 mm and incorporates long curved arms that allow the measuring tips to reach selected anatomical landmarks while maintaining clearance from the intervening surface.

This configuration is especially useful in cranial and skull measurements, where conventional straight measuring instruments may not conveniently reach landmarks located on opposite sides of a curved specimen.

The caliper can be used to obtain selected cranial breadths, diameters and external skeletal dimensions, depending on the anthropometric measurement protocol being followed.

A graduated measuring section provides the dimensional reference required for reading the distance between the measuring points. The spreading action allows the arms to be opened according to the dimensions of the specimen.

The curved measuring ends are designed to contact selected reference points while allowing the central portion of the instrument to remain clear of the specimen. This makes the instrument useful for irregular and rounded anatomical structures.

Beyond craniometry, the Spreading Caliper can support compatible measurements of bones and other skeletal specimens in osteological and comparative anatomical studies.

Its manual construction makes it convenient for field, laboratory and academic applications where a straightforward mechanical anthropometric measuring instrument is preferred.

The instrument can complement other anthropology equipment such as anthropometers, sliding calipers, mandibulometers, craniophors and osteometric measuring devices.

Manufactured and supplied by Micro Technologies, the Spreading Caliper 300 mm is suitable for anthropology departments, anatomy laboratories, osteology laboratories, universities, research institutions and anthropometric measurement facilities.

FAQs

What is a Spreading Caliper used for?

A Spreading Caliper is used for measuring external distances between anatomical landmarks, particularly across curved surfaces such as the human skull.

What is the measuring capacity of this model?

The MT-4007 has a measuring capacity of 300 mm.

Can it be used for skull measurements?

Yes. It is particularly suitable for craniometric measurements and selected external skull dimensions.

Why are the measuring arms curved?

The curved arms allow the measuring tips to reach anatomical landmarks while providing clearance around the curved surface of the specimen.

Can it measure bones other than the skull?

Yes. It may be used for compatible external skeletal and osteometric measurements where the shape and measurement range are appropriate.

Is it suitable for physical anthropology?

Yes. Spreading calipers are useful instruments for physical anthropology, craniometry and osteological investigations.

Is the instrument manually operated?

Yes. The MT-4007 is a manual mechanical measuring instrument.

Where can the Spreading Caliper 300 mm be used?

It is suitable for anthropology departments, osteology laboratories, anatomy laboratories, universities and research institutions.
