Head To Nose Tip
The distance from the head to the tip of the nose.
HeadToNoseTip
How to measure
Application
Used in mask, respirator, and helmet visor design to determine the maximum forward protrusion of the face and the clearance required inside the device.
Posture
Head level, looking straight ahead in profile.
Landmark
Measured from the tip of the nose to the most forward point of the face in profile, typically the forehead or glabella. Identifies how far the nose protrudes beyond the forehead plane.
Tool
Rigid ruler or spreading caliper.
Common mistake
If the nose is the most forward facial point, measure from the forehead plane outward to the nose tip, not between two nose points.
