The Anthropometer Rod, or A-226 manual anthropometer, is an important part of the Portable Anthropometry Complete Set Series. It comes with four types of calipers, each with its own job: the Sliding Caliper, Branches Measurement Curves, Small Spreading Caliper, and Large Spreading Caliper.
So, Do you try to find the right Anthropometer Rod for your measurement ? here’s the tips!
Getting to Know The Right Anthropometer Rod or A-226 Anthropometer
First, we need to know that The Anthropometer Rod measuring instrument, is also recognized as the A-226 Manual Anthropometer, is a tool that literally signifies a rod-shaped anthropometric measuring device. Typically, it comprises four rods with two branches.
The Anthropometer Rod, comprising four rods, actively measures two positions—standing and sitting. Moreover, it actively gauges two points on the body with flat surfaces.
Some dimensions of the human body measured using the Anthropometer Rod are:
- Arm Length
- Acromial Height in Sitting Position
- Buttock Knee Length
- Elbow Height Sitting Position
- Hip Circumference
- Stature
- Biacromial Breadth
Even though these landmarks or reference points can vary depending on specific needs, this instrument actively measures more than 100 different aspects when used alongside the other four calipers.
Getting The Right Mesasurement Tool
1. It Has 2 Types of Ends
Firstly, The instrument should has two types of ends—specifically, the Pointed End and the Rounded End. The Pointed End, resembling a rod with a blunt tip, facilitates precise measurement point determination.
Meanwhile, the Rounded End comes with a different construction. Its slightly curved branch, commonly referred to as Recurved, facilitates measurements on uneven surfaces. One of the landmarks that require the use of the Rounded End is the Measurement of Sagittal Thorax Diameter or the diameter of the chest cavity, as well as Abdominal Depth.
2. High Accuracy
During the quality control stage, the measuring instrument undergoes calibration to ensure its validity. Furthermore, it achieves precision and durability through laser marking for the scale on this instrument.
The reading window on the Sliding Block, a black base for interchanging the two types of ends as needed for measurements, provides access to the measurement results scale.
3. Solid Stainless Steel 304 Material.
Thirdly, It should contains the Solid Stainless Steel 304 Material. Material 304 stands out as the premier grade of stainless steel. This measuring instrument utilizes pure Stainless Steel 304, rendering it resistant to friction, corrosion, and rust.
Furthermore, to uphold perfect validity in Anthropometric measurements, the measuring instrument, crafted with Stainless Steel 304 and a scale ’embedded’ through Laser Marking, guarantees durability for over 5 years of daily use.
4. Comes with Other Measuring Instruments.
Lastly, In addition, METRISIS comes with other types of calipers, namely Sliding Caliper, Small Spreading Caliper, and Large Spreading Caliper. Although the use of the Anthropometer already covers a wide range of measurements.
Portable Anthropometry is an anthropometric measurement tool capable of measuring up to 100 human body dimensions. Unlike the Anthropometric Chair, Portable Anthropometry can be used anywhere due to its portable design.
