Paper Thickness Tester

Determination of thickness of Film is considerable importance, both for assuring conformity with design parameters and for evaluation of various physical properties determination of thickness of Film sample in laboratory is usually carried out with the help of a bench thickness gauge .The Film component whose thickness is to be determined is kept on a flat anvil and a circular indenter is pressed onto it from the top under a specified pressure .the contact faces of the anvil and the indenter are ground flat and set in planes parallel to each other .

Bench Thickness Gauge for Film consists of a digital micrometer fitted on a rigid metallic frame .the micrometer has a flat circular indenter, which exerts the specified pressure on the Film sample whose thickness is being measured through a dead weight .the paper sample is kept on an anvil, which is in from of a flat circular platform. The axis of the indenter and the anvil coincide and is the same as the axis of movement of the indenter. The indenter can be raised and lowered gently onto the Film sample with the help of a lifting lever.
