Paper thickness tester

A paper thickness tester measures material thickness under controlled pressure, vital for quality control in paper, cardboard, and packaging industries. This article details key standards, technical specs, operational mechanics, and testing principles to guide users in optimizing material consistency and compliance.

Применимые критерии

The tester complies with global protocols such as ISO 534 (paper/board thickness), TAPPI T411 (thickness under pressure), and GB/T 451.3 (paper thickness measurement). Adherence ensures reliable data for industry certifications and material benchmarking.

Основные параметры

Принцип работы

The tester applies consistent pressure via a weighted platen, compressing the sample. A sensor measures the gap between platens, and a microprocessor calculates thickness. Results include single-point or multi-point averages for uniformity analysis.

Принцип испытания

Simulating real-world compressive forces, the test evaluates a paper's dimensional stability under pressure. Data supports material development, quality assurance, and compliance with packaging or printing standards.

This guide equips manufacturers to enhance product consistency, reduce variability, and ensure adherence to global quality norms through precise thickness testing.
