Measuring Tape
Measuring Tape (Product Code: SCL-310/053) is a 10 m steel tape used to measure lengths and distances in physics laboratories, workshops and field activities. Beyond the lab it suits contractors, builders, electricians, architects, engineers and surveyors, and an ABS housing protects the steel blade. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, as part of the measuring tools it offers with its physics lab equipment for schools in India.

What Is the Measuring Tape Used For?
A 10 m tape covers distances that a metre scale cannot. In school physics it is used to mark out a track for speed and acceleration activities, measure the height of a staircase or the length of a corridor, and set the stretch of a long spring or string before a demonstration.
Pull the blade out straight, keep it taut and read at eye level; check that the end hook sits squarely on the start point. Let the tape retract slowly by hand instead of letting it snap back, and wipe the steel blade dry after outdoor use to keep the markings clear.
Supplier
ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited in Ambala, supplies this steel measuring tape for school labs, colleges and institutions that need longer measurements than bench scales allow. It can be added to an order for physics apparatus so that a lab receives its measuring tools together. See the ScienceLab company profile for more.
Related Physics Lab Equipment
Other measuring tools that complement the 10 m tape:
- Meter Scale 100 cm — bench measurements up to one metre
- Meter Scale 50 cm — shorter lengths on the bench
- Vernier Calliper — small dimensions that a tape cannot resolve
- D Scale for Measuring Angles — measuring angles alongside distances
- Fiberglass Tape Measure — a non-metallic tape as an alternative
More measuring instruments are listed in the Physics Lab category.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the Measuring Tape?
The Measuring Tape (SCL-310/053) is 10 metres long. That length suits distances beyond a metre scale, such as marking a track for motion experiments, measuring a room or setting out long demonstrations in the lab or on the school ground.
What accuracy does the Measuring Tape have?
The Measuring Tape is listed with an accuracy of ±0.2 mm. As with any steel tape, readings depend on keeping the blade straight and taut and reading at eye level, so teach students to check both ends before recording.
What is the Measuring Tape housing made of?
The Measuring Tape has an ABS plastic housing around its steel blade. ABS is tough and light, protecting the mechanism from knocks when the tape is dropped or carried between the laboratory and outdoor measuring activities.
Who else uses this Measuring Tape?
Besides school laboratories, the Measuring Tape suits contractors, builders, electricians, carpet fitters, architects, engineers, surveyors and DIY users. The same 10 m steel tape also serves maintenance teams in schools and colleges.
Who supplies the Measuring Tape?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), based in Ambala, Haryana, India, supplies the Measuring Tape. Institutions and dealers in India and international markets often order it with metre scales and Vernier callipers to complete a set of measuring tools.
How should a steel Measuring Tape be cared for?
Retract the Measuring Tape slowly by hand rather than letting it snap back, wipe the steel blade dry after outdoor use and avoid bending it sharply. This protects the end hook and the markings so readings stay dependable.
