Fabric Thickness Tester ISO 1765
Category：Fabric & Textile Tester
Introduction
The Fabric Thickness Tester is designed to accurately measure the thickness of a wide range of materials, including fabrics, leather, rubber, carpets, non-woven textiles, foams, and geotextiles. It is ideal for quality control, research and development, and production monitoring to ensure compliance with international thickness standards. The tester can also evaluate compression and elastic recovery of carpets and textile backings.

FAQ
1.What is a Fabric Thickness Tester?
A device that accurately measures the thickness of fabrics, leather, rubber, carpets, and other sheet materials, under controlled pressure.
2.Which materials can it measure?
Fabrics, leather, rubber, carpets, non-woven textiles, foams, geotextiles, and similar flexible materials.
3.Why is thickness measurement important?
Thickness is a critical property affecting durability, texture, and performance of textiles and carpets. Accurate measurement ensures compliance with product specifications and international standards.
4.How does it work?
The sample is placed under a presser foot, and a controlled weight applies pressure. The tester measures the distance between the presser foot and reference plate, displaying the result digitally.
5.Can it test different pressures?
Yes, the presser foot can be used with adjustable weights to apply pressures ranging from 2.5 to 200 kPa, depending on the material and standard.
6.Can it measure thick samples?
The standard gauge measures up to 25 mm; optional models allow for thicker samples.
7.Does it support digital data output?
Yes, it can connect to a PC via RS232 cable for data download and analysis.
