Harpenden Skinfold Caliper With BodyTracker Software

Q: Do these calipers require calibration?

The short answer is yes, because it uses springs that inevitably lose resistance over time. The manual recommends "periodic" calibration which costs about $75. I take periodic to be every 2-3 years but it depends on how often it's being used and for what purpose (personal use, investigation, certification for wrestling, etc). You can also buy calibration dowels for this either with a bundle kit or separately. That way you can keep an eye on calibration and only send in when necessary. For more casual, informal use, and if checking with the calibration dowels, you could wait longer than 3 years. The answer would be the same for Lange calipers.

Q: Does this come with a calibration dowel?

Hello, this listing does not include a dowel, but you have a few options. The dowel is available separately (search B01LVURR43), or buy our Harpenden Pro Kit (B00TYRZF78) which includes software, dowel, and anthropometric tape measure. We also offer Harpenden + dowel (B00289EHA0). Joe (NutriActiva)

Q: After a measurement is taken, is the measurement retained on the dial once the calipers are removed from the skin fold site?

No it is not. The dial will go back to zero once released. I believe the SKydex digital skinfold caliper will do that, though.

Q: ¿Es posible saber la fabricación del producto? ¿como puedo saber cuando ha sido fabricado el producto?

La unica posibilidad que se me ocurre es que tienen un numero de serie de 4 digitos en el aparato. Tal vez si escribes al fabricante con ese numero le pueden decir. El fabricante se llama Baty, en el Reino Unido.
