Height/length measuring instruments designed for easy manual carrying; the instrument typically may be folded in several pieces to facilitate transportation. These instruments typically consist of a calibrated rod and a sliding head piece that attach to a floor base; the base includes a handle that makes it easy to transport the whole set. Portable height/length measuring instruments are mainly used in the field (e.g., rural areas, schools) for measuring and assessing of children and teenagers\' growth (known as stadiometers).
