Thickness Gauge For Testing Lab Workshop.
Thickness Gauge - For Testing Lab
The thickness of fabrics and similar pressure sensitive material is
measured by placing it over a flat circular anvil and bringing a flat
circular pressure foot in contact with its upper face under the action
of a specified load applied by means of a dead weight.
This
method gives an accurate measure of the thickness and is free of any
error due to change in load normally associated with spring loaded
thickness gauges.
The Thickness Gauge (Dead
Weight Type) consists of a dial indicator having a flat circular
pressure foot and a flat circular anvil. The indentor exerts a fixed
pressure on the fabric under test with the help of a dead weight placed
over its stem. The faces of the pressure foot and the anvil are ground
flat and made parallel to each other by adjusting the level of the
anvil.
The whole arrangement is mounted on a rigid cast
aluminum base. It is finished in Shore Blue Metallic painting and bright
chrome plating. The pressure foot and anvil are made from magnetic
stainless steel.
