Thickness Gauge

★★★★☆(152 reviews)

The test your product is thrilled to launch the thickness gauge tester that is mainly built to estimate the thickness of flexible sheets that also include other materials like fabrics, paper, plastic films, leather, rubber sheets, and foils. The main part of this textile testing equipment is to provide accuracy and repeatability and non-destructive measurement of thickness under standardized conditions; it is ideal for quality control, production monitoring, and material research. This instrument finds its applications in various textile plants, packaging labs, and material science laboratories for validating the thickness of a material as per defined specifications and industry standards, thereby confirming reliability and performance in the manufactured products.

Product Details

The Thickness Gauge Tester comprises a precision mechanical dial or digital indicator mounted upon a stiff framework bearing a flat anvil and pressure foot contacting the sample. The force applied to the sample is either through a spring-loaded mechanism or dead weights to ensure a constant and repeatable measurement.

This equipment offers a quick and reliable means of checking the thickness of materials under a defined pressure and contact area while subtracting any variation from compressibility or manual error. This is especially helpful for soft, compressible materials with slight surface irregularities.

How the Thickness Gauge Tester Works

For measurement, test pieces are positioned between the anvil and the presser foot section of the tester. The presser foot gets to press the specimen, exhibiting the dimension either in mm or microns via an indicator (mechanical or digital). Applied pressure is controlled by standards like ISO 5084, ASTM D1777, and BS 2544, mostly so as to get similar test samples. 

Readings can be taken after an established dwell time to allow for material compression. They may then be used to compare product variation with respect to the durability of the materials and adherence to design tolerances.

Thickness Gauge Tester Applications

• Textile and Nonwoven Industries: Used for fabric thickness measurements to evaluate the softness, bulk, and reliability of quality consistency among production lots. 
• Paper and Packaging: Provides tests for uniformity in thickness throughout sheets of paper, cardboard, plastic packaging materials, etc. 
• Rubber and Foam Products: Verifies the thickness of soft or compressible sheets for industrial and consumer use. 
• Leather and Synthetic Materials: Surface thickness measurement is conducted for quality grading and compliance within the fashion and footwear industries. 
• Plastic Films and Laminates: In performance-critical applications, it is utilized to measure thin films and laminated layers. 
• Quality Control Laboratories: In testing laboratories to ascertain the dimensional accuracy of the product being Tested, prior and post-treatment, any thickness gauge finds mention with a standard acceptance.
