Geotextile thickness meter
Application
The Geotextile Thickness Meter is designed to accurately measure the thickness of fabrics, leather, rubber, carpets, non-woven textiles, foams, and geotextiles. It is widely used for evaluating carpet thickness, compression recovery of carpet backings, non-woven fabrics, foam materials, and geotextiles. The instrument can provide standardized pressure to simulate real-life conditions and ensure compliance with international test standards.
Standards
The instrument complies with the following international standards:
ISO 1765: 1986 – Textile Fabrics – Determination of thickness of textile fabrics
ISO 1766: 1999 (BS) – Methods for measuring textile thickness
BS 4051: 1987 (1996) – Textile fabric thickness measurement
BS 4098: 1975 (1996) – Carpet and textile thickness
BS 5808: 1991 (1996) – Determination of carpet pile and backing thickness
Wools of New Zealand Test Method 142 – Thickness of wool carpets

FAQ
1.What is a Geotextile Thickness Meter?
A precision instrument used to measure the thickness of fabrics, carpets, non-woven textiles, geotextiles, foam, leather, and rubber materials under controlled pressure.
2.Which materials can it measure?
Carpets, non-woven fabrics, geotextiles, foam, leather, rubber, and other flexible sheet materials.
3.Why is thickness measurement important?
Thickness affects material performance, durability, compression recovery, and product quality. Accurate measurement ensures compliance with industry standards and customer specifications.
4.How does it work?
The sample is placed under a presser foot with a controlled weight. The digital indicator measures the distance between the presser foot and reference plate, displaying the thickness accurately.
5.Can it apply different pressures?
Yes, the presser foot can apply adjustable pressures ranging from 2 kPa to 200 kPa using different weight configurations, depending on the material and testing standard.
6.Can it measure thick samples?
The standard instrument measures up to 25 mm thickness; optional versions are available for thicker materials.
