Portable Handheld Corrugated Cardboard Thickness Gauge Contact Thickness Gauge For Carton

The PBT-01 Corrugated Cardboard Thickness Gauge is a high-precision instrument designed specifically for determining the thickness of single sheets of corrugated fibreboard. This tool is widely used in various industries, including packaging, food, pharmaceuticals, and beverage sectors, where precise material testing is crucial for ensuring the quality and durability of packaging solutions. Its advanced technology and user-friendly design make it the ideal choice for laboratories and production facilities that require accurate thickness measurements of corrugated materials.

This instrument is especially important for manufacturers of packing cases, ensuring compliance with industry standards and delivering consistent results for all types of corrugated fibreboard. Whether for quality control or research and development, the Corrugated Cardboard Thickness Gauge is indispensable for any business working with corrugated fibreboard.

Working Principle

The PBT-01 Corrugated Cardboard Thickness Gauge measures the thickness of corrugated board under a specific static load. This process guarantees high precision and reliability, making it suitable for laboratory and production environments where consistent and accurate data is required. The instrument uses two parallel, circular pressure faces, between which the corrugated board is placed. The pressure applied during the measurement is 20 kPa ± 0.5 kPa, ensuring the testing is within industry guidelines.

During the measurement process, one pressure face is fixed (the anvil), while the other moves perpendicularly to the plane of the fixed face. The movement occurs smoothly at a speed of 2 mm/s to 3 mm/s. With a contact area of 1000 mm² ± 20 mm², the Corrugated Cardboard Thickness Gauge subjects the board to uniform pressure, ensuring accurate thickness measurement of the corrugated material. The results are displayed with a resolution of 0.001 mm, allowing for precise measurements down to the nearest 0.05 mm.

Key Features of the Corrugated Cardboard Thickness Gauge

1. High Precision Measurement: The Corrugated Cardboard Thickness Gauge offers a resolution of 0.001 mm, ensuring precise readings for even the thinnest corrugated fibreboard.
2. Static Load Application: The instrument applies a specific static load during testing (20 kPa ± 0.5 kPa), ensuring uniform and repeatable measurements across various types of corrugated board.
3. Reset Function: The gauge can be reset to zero at any point, making it easy to calibrate and ensuring that every measurement starts from a true zero point.
4. Measurement System Conversion: Users can easily convert between measurement systems (e.g., metric and imperial) for convenience, depending on their operational needs.
5. Durable Design: The Corrugated Cardboard Thickness Gauge is built to last, with robust materials that withstand daily use in a laboratory or industrial setting.

Applications of the Corrugated Cardboard Thickness Gauge

The PBT-01 Corrugated Cardboard Thickness Gauge is suitable for a wide range of applications, including:

• Packaging Industry: Ensuring the right thickness for corrugated fibreboard used in boxes, cartons, and packing cases.
• Food and Beverage Sectors: Testing the packaging materials for food and beverages to ensure durability and safety during shipping and storage.
• Pharmaceutical Industry: Guaranteeing that the packaging for pharmaceutical products meets stringent quality control standards.
• Educational and Research Institutions: Offering precise measurements for academic research on packaging materials.

How the Corrugated Cardboard Thickness Gauge Works

The Corrugated Cardboard Thickness Gauge works by placing a sample of corrugated fibreboard between its two pressure faces. The faces apply a uniform pressure of 20 kPa ± 0.5 kPa, and the movable face descends at a controlled speed of 2 mm/s to 3 mm/s to measure the thickness. The diameter of one face is 35.7 mm ± 0.3 mm, while the other face contacts the entire area of the first face when the instrument reads zero. This guarantees that the pressure is distributed evenly across the test area, providing reliable and repeatable measurements.

The thickness of the corrugated fibreboard is displayed digitally, with a resolution of 0.001 mm. The instrument is highly accurate, with a measurement error of less than 0.05 mm, making it suitable for even the most demanding quality control applications.
