Applications of the Thickness Gauge:

The Microcomputer Paper Thickness Tester (with Tension Measurement Function) is a fully automatic, high-precision paper thickness testing instrument developed by our company in accordance with national standards. It features a touchscreen control system and a fully automatic testing mode, tests are completed with a single button press. It can operate as a standalone unit or be configured for continuous testing to minimize errors. It is designed to measure the single-sheet thickness, stacked thickness, and cross-sectional thickness variation of paper up to 6 mm thick, and is specifically suited for the precise measurement of the thickness of paper, thin sheets, plastic films, and other materials within its measurement range.

Testing Principle:

Under a specified static load, a thickness gauge meeting accuracy requirements is used to measure the thickness of a single sheet or a stack of sheets according to test specifications. The results are expressed as either single-layer thickness or cumulative thickness. Based on the basis weight of the paper or cardboard and the single-layer or cumulative thickness, the single-layer density or cumulative density is calculated respectively.

Complies with the following standards:

QB/T 1035 “Thickness Gauges for Paper and Paperboard”;
QB/T 451.3 “Methods for Determining the Thickness of Paper and Paperboard”;
QB/T 1055 “Thickness Gauges for Paper and Paperboard”;
ISO 438 “Paper—Determination of Laminated Thickness and Density”.
ISO 534 “Paper and paperboard—Determination of single-layer thickness and calculation of board density”;

Key Performance Advantages:

  1. 7-inch touchscreen with curve display; supports seamless switching between Chinese and English;
  2. Features data statistics and processing capabilities; allows setting the number of tests and automatically saves data;
  3. Can measure single-layer thickness, total layer thickness, and thickness variation across the width, and automatically calculates the density value;
  4. Equipped with a miniature thermal printer; optional connection to a computer for automatic plotting of real-time test data curves;
  5. Utilizes a high-precision displacement sensor; the instrument features testing, conversion, display, memory, printing, and data processing functions

Q1、What is a high-precision thickness gauge and how does it work?

The ZY-WHY06 Microcomputer Thickness Gauge (with Tension Measurement Function) is an instrument specifically designed to measure the single-layer thickness, laminated thickness, and thickness variation across the width of paper, cardboard, film, metal sheets, or other materials up to 6 mm thick.

Q2、Which international standards do thickness gauges usually follow?

To ensure data credibility in global trade, Zhongyi thickness gauges strictly follow these standards:

QB/T 1035 “Thickness Gauges for Paper and Paperboard”;
QB/T 451.3 “Methods for Determining the Thickness of Paper and Paperboard”;
QB/T 1055 “Thickness Gauges for Paper and Paperboard”;
ISO 438 “Paper—Determination of Laminated Thickness and Density”.
ISO 534 “Paper and paperboard—Determination of single-layer thickness and calculation of board density”;

Q3、Why is thickness testing critical in the paper and packaging industry?

Thickness is a key indicator that affects the physical properties of paper; several of its fundamental characteristics and strength properties are related to thickness, such as stiffness, burst strength, and opacity. Accurate thickness control not only ensures the protective performance of packaging materials but also helps manufacturers optimize material costs.
