Portable Meter
Product Code : LSK-LM-11136
Portable Meter (SKU LSK-LM-11136) is a moving coil laboratory meter with a 144 mm scale, a knife-edge pointer and an anti-parallax mirror, built into an ABS plastic panel within a wooden box. It is designed for the electrical and physics laboratories of polytechnics and engineering colleges, where readings need more care than school meters allow. Science Lab Supplies supplies it from Ambala, India, to colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
All stated specifications are given in the table below. To summarise, it is a moving coil instrument rated at ±1% of full-scale deflection, with a scale of about 144 mm read through a knife-edge pointer over an anti-parallax mirror, mounted in an ABS panel set into a wooden carrying box.

Applications and Experiments for the Portable Meter
The meter is used where students must read current or voltage closely, because the knife-edge pointer and mirror let them remove parallax error and the ±1% FSD rating supports careful calculation. It suits diploma and degree electrical measurement practicals as practical physics lab equipment in India.
- Diploma and B.Tech basic electrical labs: verifying Ohm's law and Kirchhoff's laws, with currents adjusted on a Rheostat, Constantine (Eureka) Wire.
- B.Sc. physics practicals: measuring the current and voltage in resistance networks built with a Decade Resistance Box, Dial Type.
- Calibration exercises in which student meters are compared with this meter on a steady supply from a Laboratory Battery Eliminator.
- Teaching correct analogue reading technique: aligning the pointer with its mirror image before noting the value.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Portable Meter is supplied as one moving coil meter in its ABS panel and wooden box, as described above. The measuring quantity and range required, such as a particular ammeter or voltmeter range, are confirmed with the buyer and stated on the quotation, together with any leads needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the Portable Meter have a mirror scale?
The anti-parallax mirror lets the user line up the knife-edge pointer with its own reflection. When the two coincide the eye is directly above the pointer, so the reading is free of parallax error.
What accuracy does it offer?
The meter is rated at ±1% of full-scale deflection on a moving coil movement with a 144 mm scale, which suits the measurement practicals run in polytechnic and engineering college laboratories.
Which ranges can be ordered?
Tell us whether you need an ammeter or a voltmeter and the range for each experiment. Send the list through the contact page and the quotation will state the range, quantity and price for every meter.
Who supplies the Portable Meter?
Supply is from Science Lab Supplies in Ambala, India. Colleges and contractors can order a single meter or a full lab set, and rheostats, resistance boxes and power supplies can be priced on one quotation.
