Tape Measure Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Tape Measure (Product Code: SCL1209/03) is a 3-metre measuring tape with a steel strip graduated in millimetres, wound inside a resistant plastic body. Teachers and students reach for it whenever a length is too long for a ruler: the run of a trolley track, the height of a ramp, the size of a bench or the distance a ball rolls in a motion experiment. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) in Ambala, India, and is a basic item on any list of physics lab equipment for schools in India.

Specifications

Typical Use

A common lesson on speed starts with the tape: students mark a start and a finish line on the floor, measure the gap between them, then time a rolling ball or toy car over that distance and divide distance by time. The same tape gives the length and height of an inclined plane when a class works out slope, and it helps technicians set out benches, stands and apparatus at the spacing an experiment sheet asks for.

For accurate readings, pull the steel strip out straight and flat, hold the end firmly at the starting mark, and read the millimetre division square-on rather than at an angle. Guide the tape back into the plastic body instead of letting it snap shut, and wipe it dry if it gets wet. It is one of the simplest entries on a school lab instruments list, yet it is used in almost every mechanics practical.

Related Lab Equipment

Useful companions for distance, speed and ramp experiments:

• Digital Chronometer (Stopwatch) — times the run over a distance measured with the tape, so students can calculate speed.
• Inclined Plane With Accessories — a ramp whose length and height the tape measures in slope and friction work.
• Metal Ruler — a rigid straight edge for shorter bench measurements and ruling lines.
• Caliper — for small diameters and thicknesses that a tape cannot resolve.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long is the tape and how is it marked?
The steel tape is 3 metres long and graduated in millimetres along the strip.

What are the body and tape made of?
The housing is a resistant plastic body and the measuring strip is steel, a combination chosen for durability in everyday classroom handling.

Can it be used for longer distances such as a sports ground?
It covers 3 metres in one pull, so longer distances have to be measured in sections. If your syllabus needs long outdoor measurements, tell us through the contact page and we will suggest a suitable option.

How should students look after it?
Retract the strip slowly, avoid kinking or stepping on it, and dry it after any contact with water so the steel stays in good condition.

Can you supply enough for every student group?
Yes. Class sets and bulk quantities for schools, colleges and distributors in India and international markets can be quoted; mention the number of pieces and the delivery location.

What warranty applies?
Warranty terms are confirmed in our written quotation. Please ask about them when you send your enquiry.
