THD-01 Thickness Testing Gauge for Tissue Paper
Accurate Thickness Measurement for Paper Products

The THD-01 Thickness Testing Gauge is a precision instrument designed to measure the thickness and bulking thickness of tissue paper and its associated products under a controlled pressure of 2KPa. This versatile tool is essential for determining the quality and performance of tissue products, such as paper handkerchiefs, paper towels, napkins, and kitchen roll paper. The THD-01 Thickness Testing Gauge delivers highly accurate readings, ensuring that manufacturers, laboratories, and quality control departments can confidently assess the material properties of their paper-based products.

Key Features of the THD-01 Thickness Testing Gauge

The THD-01 Thickness Testing Gauge offers several advanced features that make it the ideal choice for precision thickness testing in the packaging, food, medical, and paper product industries.

• Wide Test Range: This gauge provides a broad testing range of 0 to 4 mm, making it suitable for a variety of tissue and paper products, including single-layer, sheet, and laminated products.
• High Resolution: With a resolution of 0.001 mm, the THD-01 Thickness Testing Gauge can detect even the smallest variations in material thickness, ensuring accurate and reliable measurements.
• Precise Contact Area: The contact area of 1000 ± 20 mm² ensures consistent pressure distribution across the test sample, minimizing measurement variability.
• Controlled Pressure: The instrument applies a precise pressure of 2 ± 0.1 KPa during testing, guaranteeing consistent results across different types of tissue products.
• Superior Surface Parallelism: The parallelism of the instrument's measuring surfaces is ≤ 0.001 mm, ensuring that the sample remains perfectly flat during testing, leading to accurate and repeatable measurements.
• Low Indication Error: With an indication error of ±0.05%, the THD-01 Thickness Testing Gauge ensures the highest level of measurement precision.

Working Principle of the Thickness Testing Gauge

The THD-01 Thickness Testing Gauge operates by measuring the thickness of tissue paper or tissue products at various stages of production. The measurement is performed by placing the sample between two parallel, horizontal faces. The lower face remains fixed, while the upper face (the pressure-foot) applies a controlled pressure of 2KPa. The upper face moves perpendicular to the lower face, pressing the sample and measuring its thickness with extreme accuracy.

This method is designed to assess the distance between the sample's resting position on the fixed reference plate and the pressure-foot. The pressure-foot has a diameter of 35.7 ± 0.1 mm, which provides a nominal area of 10.0 cm² for testing. The THD-01 Thickness Testing Gauge can be used to test both single-layer and multi-layer tissue products, making it versatile for various industry applications.

Applications of the THD-01 Thickness Testing Gauge

The THD-01 Thickness Testing Gauge is essential for industries that require consistent quality control of tissue and paper products. Its precise measurement capabilities make it suitable for:

• Tissue Paper Manufacturers: Ensuring the uniformity and quality of single-ply and multi-ply tissue paper.
• Paper Towel Producers: Verifying the thickness and bulk of paper towels to meet customer expectations.
• Napkin Manufacturers: Assessing the thickness of napkins for quality control and consistency in production.
• Kitchen Roll Paper Producers: Ensuring that kitchen roll paper meets the required thickness and bulk specifications.
• Laboratories: Conducting material testing for R&D and product development purposes.
