Windup Meter Tapes (Product Code: SLE/ME/31) are fiberglass measuring tapes in a plastic windup case, used to measure long distances in outdoor science, geography and sports-field activities. They are available in 10 m, 30 m and 50 m lengths, are calibrated in inches on one side and in 1 cm increments on the other, and the tape will not tear, rust or stretch. They are supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, a source of educational laboratory equipment in India.

Long tapes turn the school grounds into a laboratory. Classes use them to lay out a straight course for speed and reaction-time experiments, to run transect lines across a field or pond edge in ecology work, to map the grounds in geography, and to follow the changing length of a shadow through the day. Sports staff use the same tapes to mark out events.
Have a partner hold the zero end, keep the tape straight and taut rather than sagging, and read the 1 cm side for metric work. Before winding the tape back into its plastic case, wipe off mud, sand or grass so the mechanism stays free, and wind in slowly to avoid twists.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab from Ambala in Haryana, sources these windup tapes and supplies all three lengths to schools, colleges, field-study programmes and dealers in India and international markets. Combining them with other measuring items in one order keeps procurement simple. More about the company is on the ScienceLab profile page.

What lengths do the Windup Meter Tapes come in?
Windup Meter Tapes (SLE/ME/31) are available in 10 m, 30 m and 50 m lengths. The 10 m tape suits classrooms and small plots, while the 30 m and 50 m tapes cover running tracks, playing fields and ecology transects.
How are the Windup Meter Tapes graduated?
Windup Meter Tapes are calibrated in inches on one side and in 1 cm increments on the other. The centimetre side is the one most school and field activities use, while the inch side helps when comparing with imperial measurements.
Are Windup Meter Tapes suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. Windup Meter Tapes use a fiberglass tape that will not tear, rust or stretch, which suits outdoor activities on damp grass, sand or dusty ground. Wipe the tape clean and dry before winding it back into the plastic case.
Should I choose Windup Meter Tapes or a trundle wheel?
Windup Meter Tapes give a continuous scale for laying out a fixed line, such as a transect or running track, while a trundle wheel counts metres as you walk a route. Many schools use both for outdoor measuring lessons.
Who supplies the Windup Meter Tapes?
Windup Meter Tapes are supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India, in 10 m, 30 m and 50 m lengths for schools, colleges and dealers in India and international markets.
