Contact-Type Thickness Gauge

Contact thickness gauges measure thickness by converting the displacement of a probe that contacts the material surface. They are used to detect the thickness of flat materials such as films, coatings, and plates, ensuring that thickness meets requirements in quality inspection and production control.
Selection
Select probe pressure and shape based on material hardness; use low-pressure flat-tipped probes for soft materials. Consider thickness range and precision requirements; for conventional materials, choose a range of 0.1-10mm. Examine material surface characteristics; use large-radius probes for rough surfaces. Confirm the working environment; select anti-vibration models for scenarios with vibrations.

Roughness Measurement Instrument Selection: Contact vs. Non-Contact
This article introduces the differences between contact and non-contact methods when selecting a roughness measuring instrument.
Mechanical thickness gauge for measuring film thickness uniformity.
The mechanical thickness gauge assesses the uniformity of film thickness through contact measurement. During measurement, the probe contacts the sample under standard pressure, converting displacement into a thickness reading.
Comparison of Selection Parameters for Stylus and Laser Roughness Measuring Instruments
Stylus-type roughness measuring instruments perform contact scanning to measure two-dimensional profile parameters in accordance with standards such as ISO 4287, while laser-based instruments utilize non-contact optical principles and refer to ISO 25178.
Paper Thickness Gauge for Determining Paper Thickness and Apparent Density
This article explains how to measure paper thickness and apparent density using a paper thickness gauge. Thickness refers to the vertical distance between the two sides of paper under standard pressure, while apparent density is calculated by dividing the basis weight by the thickness, reflecting the compactness of the paper.
