Clinometer Hand
Product Code : LSK-ML-10100
Clinometer Hand (SKU LSK-ML-10100) is a 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 suits secondary-school maths for heights-and-distances work and geography field studies of valleys and slopes. Every unit comes off the line at the Science Lab Supplies works on Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, India, a laboratory equipment manufacturer in India that quotes schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors without an agent.
Specifications
The table gives each detail of this trigger-operated clinometer on its own row. In short, it is made of durable plastic for heavy classroom use; a trigger releases a graduated disc, the angle is read on the protractor once the disc stops spinning, and an included guide gives the formula for working out height.

Applications and Experiments for the Hand Clinometer
With the 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. It turns a textbook trigonometry exercise into an outdoor activity on real buildings and trees, and suits Class 10 maths and geography field work.
- NCERT Class 10, Some Applications of Trigonometry: finding heights from angles of elevation, with the baseline multiplied by a tangent value on a Simple Hand Calculator.
- CBSE maths lab activities on heights and distances around the school campus, checked by a scale drawing made with a Wooden Ruler 1 Metre.
- 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 can be added to the same quotation as a separate line.
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.
Science Lab Supplies is a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code and can ship to buyers in Ghana, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda, the UAE and Saudi Arabia. The business is registered under Udyam as a manufacturing enterprise (UDYAM-HR-01-0014546) and for GST (GSTIN 06ADEPJ0574F2ZU). For a field-work set, state the group count on the contact page or load the clinometers into the enquiry cart; formal purchase rounds are explained on the lab tender page.
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, from campus height surveys to valley-depth exercises on field trips.
Does Science Lab Supplies make the clinometer itself?
Yes. The plastic body, trigger and graduated disc are produced and assembled in the company's own Saha, Ambala factory in India, so the quotation you receive is issued by the maker of the instrument rather than a reseller.
