b)Anthropometric Cone: Used for grip measurements.
c) Dynamometers: Used for strength measurements.
d) Anthropometric Board: Used for measuring various body dimensions.
e) Foot board: Used for feet measurements.
f) Finger board: Used for measuring the circumference of the fingers.
g) Skinfold Caliper: Used to measure the thickness of body fat.
h) Weighting scale: Used to  measure that body weight of the person.

b)Plaster/ Clay Casting Method: In this method the clay or plaster is put on the body of the person, to take the impression of the parts of the body and the measured.

For a product, tool, furniture or work spaces to be successful by meeting the needs of the end user, the designers must use specific information about the user group, such as their anthropometric dimensions and physical characteristics.

2 Decade the Work and its Work Posture-Identify the type of work to be performed Le, static or dynamic work; precision work or power demanding, manual or mental work, etc., keeping in mind the load of the work, repetition and posture. One needs to decide on the right body measurements with respect to the type. of posture being adopted. For example, designing a chair to work in sitting posture will require various body dimensions of user like popliteal height, buttock to popliteal length, buttock width, lumbar height, shoulder breadth, etc.

3. Clearance, Reach and Strength required - Dimensions of equipment, work accessories and work spaces should be considered while designing, in order to achieve effective accommodative layout for enabling easy handling of equipment (reach and strength) by moving within and around the space (clearance).

is big. Normal distribution is used to represent the distribution of values that occur, if we include whole population. Thus it is the nost important probability distribution that describes real world situations.

When designing for a single individual, his own body dimensions needs to be measured, while designing for masses, proper percentile values and adequate allowances should be considered. Example: A tailor takes the individual person's body measurement and designs an outfit that best suits to that individual only, but in a retail store you need to have outfits in small, medium, large, extra large sizes as people with different body dimensions will come to make purchases.

No two people have exactly the same dimensions. But in order to design for accommodating the variation of the human beings, they are divided into three major categories depending on the dimensions i.e., 5th, 50th or 95th percentile range. One has to be careful with the words percentile and percentage. A percentage score indicates the proportion, a part or share in relation to a whole. A percentile us what percent of other scores is less than the data point we are investigating. Therefore a percentile is a measure used in statistics indicating the value below which a given percentage of observations in a group of observations fall.

Most people appear to be of a similar height. These people fall into the 50th percentile range and are considered of average height. A small percentage of people are shorter than this majority - this group is known as the 5th percentile. Others are taller than most people and belong to the 95th percentile. For example, Out of 100 normal children of same age, if a child's weight is at the 50th percentile line that means 50 children will be more and 50 children will be less than her weight.

1. Design for Extreme Individuals

a. The distance of control devices from the operator. b. Doorway for rare eight footers.

c. Dining room chairs for the rare 200 kg guest.
2. Design for Adjustable Range

a. Backward adjustments of automobile seats.

b. Vertical arrangements of the typists chair

c. Adjustable desk height for computer workstation.

3. Design for the Average- Designing steering wheel, jar lids, door knobs, etc.
