Application of Digital Fabric Thickness Tester

Customer Background

A textile and material testing laboratory specializing in fabrics, leather, rubber, carpets, non-wovens, and geotextiles required a reliable solution for measuring fabric thickness according to international standards. Accurate thickness measurement is essential for quality control, product development, and compliance with ISO and BS standards.

Application Requirements

Accurate Fabric Thickness Measurement: Determine the thickness of textiles, leather, rubber, carpets, foam, and geotextiles.

Standards Compliance: Must meet ISO 1765:1986, ISO 1766:1999 (BS), BS 4051:1987 (1996), BS 4098:1975 (1996), BS 5808:1991 (1996), and Wools of New Zealand Test Method 142.

Wide Application Range: Suitable for carpet thickness, compression and elastic recovery of backing, non-woven fabrics, foam, and geotextiles.

Data Integration: Optional software connectivity for automated measurement recording and analysis.

Solution

The laboratory adopted the Digital Fabric Thickness Tester, which provides the following advantages:

ISO and BS Standard Pressure: Designed for testing carpets, linings, non-wovens, and geotextiles under standard pressures required by ISO and BS methods.

Versatile Design: Meets the requirements of multiple test standards and allows consistent measurement across various material types.

Software Integration: Can be connected with optional software for data logging, analysis, and reporting.

Wide Material Compatibility: Measures thickness of carpets, textile backings, non-woven fabrics, foam, geotextiles, leather, and rubber.

Application Results

The laboratory achieved precise and repeatable thickness measurements across a wide variety of materials.

Enhanced quality control processes for carpets, fabrics, and geotextiles by providing standardized measurements.

Facilitated product development with reliable data on compression and elastic recovery of textile backings and foam materials.
