Assembly

- Join the column sections in order and fix the column into the base.
- Slide the headpiece onto the column and check that it moves smoothly.
Measuring
- Remove shoes, hats and hair accessories.
- Stand on the base with your heels together and your back to the column.
- Keep the heels, buttocks, shoulders and back of the head touching the column.
- Look straight ahead with the chin level.
- Lower the headpiece until it rests flat on the top of the head, then lock it.
- Read the height at eye level, then unlock the headpiece and raise it.
Tips for an accurate reading
- Measure in the morning. Height can be about 1 cm less by evening.
- Take two readings and use the average.
- For children, plot the result on the WHO height-for-age chart.
Precautions
- Use only on a firm, level floor, never on carpet or a mat.
- Check that the column sections are fully locked together before measuring.
- Don’t lean on the column or hang anything from it.
- Not suitable for babies under 2 years. Use an infantometer to measure them lying down.
- This is a measuring tool, not a diagnostic device. Discuss growth concerns with a doctor.
Care & storage
- Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and mild disinfectant. Don’t use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Dismantle the column and store it in its box, in a dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Don’t drop the column sections or bend them, since this affects accuracy.
Frequently asked questions
What buyers ask about the ICDS-SDM stadiometer.
What is a stadiometer?
A stadiometer is a height measuring device with a vertical measuring column, a sliding headpiece that rests flat on top of the head, and a base that keeps it stable. It measures standing height more accurately than a tape against a wall.
What is a stadiometer used for?
Hospitals and clinics use it for check-ups and BMI, paediatricians for tracking growth, and schools for health screenings. Gyms use it for fitness checks, and health workers carry it to camps and home visits.
What is the measuring range?
Up to 210 cm (82.7 inches), with both cm and inch markings.
How do I measure height correctly?
Take off shoes, hats and hair clips. Stand on the base with heels together and your back to the column, with heels, buttocks, shoulders and the back of the head touching it. Look straight ahead, lower the headpiece until it rests flat on the head, lock it and read at eye level.
How accurate is a portable stadiometer?
Very accurate when used correctly. Most errors come from technique: an uneven floor, shoes left on, or the headpiece not resting flat. Use it on a firm, level floor and check that the column sections are fully locked together.
Is it easy to carry?
Yes. The column comes apart into sections and fits into a 350 x 140 x 750 mm box. The whole unit weighs 1.9 kg, so it suits health camps, school screenings and field surveys.
What is the difference between a stadiometer and a stature meter?
A stadiometer stands on its own, so you can move it between rooms and places. A stature meter is a compact tape fixed to one wall. Choose the stadiometer for mobile use and the stature meter for a fixed spot.
Can a stadiometer measure babies?
No. It is for anyone who can stand straight without support. For babies under 2 years, use an infantometer, which measures length lying down.
How do I clean it?
Wipe it with a soft, damp cloth and a mild disinfectant between users. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive scrubbers, and dry it before storing.
