MUAC, Adult, Without Color Code
MUAC, Adult, Without Color Code (Product Code: SLE/AE/06) is a plain, numerically graduated tape used to measure an adult’s mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) up to 50 cm in clinics, nutrition surveys and training courses. Without colour bands, it gives the actual reading in 1 mm steps, which clinicians, dietitians and researchers compare against their own protocol. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a laboratory equipment supplier in India for health and nutrition work.

What Is the Adult MUAC Tape Used For?
The person being measured stands with the arm relaxed at the side. The measurer locates the midpoint between the tip of the shoulder and the tip of the elbow, wraps the tape around the arm at that level so it lies flat against the skin without squeezing the tissue, and reads the circumference to the nearest millimetre. Repeating the measurement and averaging two close readings reduces observer error, particularly in surveys where many staff take measurements.
Because the tape is made of stretch-resistant synthetic paper, repeated use does not lengthen it and skew results, and the solvent-resistant print tolerates regular wiping. Nursing colleges and public-health trainers also keep it among their biology teaching aids in India to show students how arm circumference is measured in practice.
What to Specify When Ordering
