Carpet Thickness Gauge For Testing Lab Workshop.
Carpet Thickness Gauge - For Testing Lab
The indicated thickness of any piled or raised floor covering depends
considerably on the load being exerted on it during measurement of
thickness. Also, the indicated thickness gets reduced progressively as
the load acting on it is increased. Thus it is necessary that the
thickness is determined under a specified load so that the value
determined could be considered standard.
A carpet thickness gauge is
used for determining the thickness of the floor covering under a
specified load. It can also be used for determination of thickness under
different loads, thus giving an indication of the resistance of floor
covering to compression under load, as well as its ability to recover
from the effects of such loads after the load is removed.
The Carpet Thickness Gauge
is designed to measure the thickness of floor coverings under different
loads. It consists of a rigid metallic frame having a loading rod held
with its axis vertical, capable of moving freely within two brass guide
bushes. The rod has a flat cylinder indentor mounted on its lower end
and a small metallic disc mounted on its body. Slotted disc weights of
appropriate loading capacity can be placed on the disc to enable
different loads to be applied on the floor covering under test. The rod
and the load can be raised or lowered with the help of a lever arm.
A
dial indicator is provided above the loading rod. The tip of the dial
indicator can be brought in contact with the upper face of the rod. An
electrical system consisting of an LED and dry cells is provided to
enable the thickness to be measured without the force of the dial
indicator acting on the surface of the floor covering under test.
