Clinometer Hand
Product Code : LSK-ML-10100
Clinometer Hand (SKU LSK-ML-10100) is a hand-held plastic clinometer that measures the angle of elevation to the top of a tree, building or other structure, so students can then calculate its height. It is used in secondary-school maths for heights-and-distances work and in geography field studies. Science Lab Supplies manufactures the clinometer at its Plot 448 factory in the HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, India, selling direct to schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The instrument is built from durable plastic for heavy classroom use. A trigger releases a graduated disc; once the disc stops spinning, the angle is read against the protractor scale. A guide with the height formula is included, so a class can move straight from reading angles to working out heights.

Applications and Experiments for the Hand Clinometer
Learners sight the top of an object, read the angle of elevation, measure their distance from its base and use the tangent ratio to find its height. That makes the instrument a standard outdoor activity for trigonometry, and a practical way to show that the maths in the textbook works on real buildings and trees.
- NCERT Class 10, Some Applications of Trigonometry: finding heights from angles of elevation.
- CBSE maths lab activities on heights and distances around the school campus.
- Geography field work: estimating slope and the depth of a valley.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each unit is supplied as the plastic hand clinometer with its trigger-released graduated disc and protractor scale, together with the guide that sets out the formula for calculating height. A tape or trundle wheel for measuring the baseline distance is a separate item and can be added to the quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Order a single clinometer for a demonstration or one per group for a full class outing; either way the quotation sets out packing, delivery time and price for that quantity. Schools equipping a maths lab can place trundle wheels, angle rulers and instrument sets on the same quote.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do students take a reading with the clinometer?
They point it at the top of the tree or building, pull the trigger, wait for the graduated disc to stop spinning and then read the angle on the protractor. The included guide shows how to turn that angle into a height.
Will it stand up to regular classroom use?
It is made of durable plastic intended for heavy classroom use, which suits repeated outdoor lessons with younger and older groups.
Does Science Lab Supplies make the clinometer itself?
Yes. Science Lab Supplies is the manufacturer, producing the clinometer in its own factory at Saha, Ambala, India, so your quotation is issued by the maker rather than a reseller.
