The Harpenden Skinfold Caliper is a precision instrument designed for use in measuring skinfold thickness from which estimates of body fat can be derived. Designed in 1958, the Harpenden Skinfold caliper has been used worldwide and is the most presigious caliper available.

The Harpenden skinfold caliper is the only caliper CE marked under the Medical Devices Directive 93/42/EEC for a Class 1 Device with Measuring Function and is calibrated using masters traceable to National Standards.
