Osteometric Boards and Spreading Calipers
Lab Osteometric Board
$1100.00
Features 1" thick acrylic base sheet and Kydex vertical measurement planes for extreme durability.
Constructed of acrylic, aluminum, brass, and stainless steel.
Provides the durability and accuracy required for years of reliable service.
Provides unparalleled linear tracking and fluidity of motion.
Measurement is accomplished via a linear scale (1/2 mm increment) mounted and indexed to the rear of the board.
End planes are removable for ease of shipment and storage.
ASME standardized.
Do not use the mounted scale alone to measure mid-shaft. The scale is offset to compensate for the thickness of the measuring plates and mounting point.
If you need a mid shaft measurement, ask us about what ruler to order.

Field Osteometric Board
$799.00
-Composed of high impact Plexiglas and aluminum
-Reduced weight by over 70% compared to older boards.
-The Field Osteometric board features the same measurement method as the Laboratory Osteometric Board minus the rod and bearing assembly
-Collapsible to 12" x 6.5" x 1 1/2".
-Scales are laser etched directly onto the board's base along with guide lines (cm).
-Constructed of mostly Plexiglas.
-Board can be customized with your name or identification mark at no extra cost.
-ASME standardized.

Spreading Calipers
$525.00
Based on the same dimensions and design as the classic instrument that has been used by anthropologists since the beginning of last century but updated with modern materials and utilizing state of the art manufacturing techniques.
Main body is machined out of aircraft grade 1/4 inch aluminum plate.
Scale is machined stainless and permanently laser engraved 0 - 30 cm in 1mm increments.
Measuring surface options:
Ground stainless steel ball ends
Assure accuracy after long term use
Prevent damage to the measured specimen.
Ground pointed ends
For precise measurement.
Joint surface utilizes a stainless steel contact plate to afford even friction along the measurement range eliminating the need for a thumb lock.
Entire unit weighs in at less than 5 and 1/2 ounces.
Main body dimensions are 12" x 4" when closed.
ASME standardized.

Spreading Calipers: Student
$119.00
Body and scale machined from 1.5mm thick 316 Stainless Steel for durability and savings
Index made of machined naval brass
Joints secured by aluminum rivets
Scales laser etched in same increments as the standard spreading caliper with interpolation to .5mm accuracy possible
Very durable and will last years of abuse in the lab.
Every Caliper is calibrated and checked using the same method as the standard spreading calipers.
ASME standardized.
If arms ever become bent, it is very easy to return them to flat. If they seem damaged beyond the ability for you to repair, send them to me and I will fix it for free if at all possible.
