The Best Thickness Micrometer To Measure Paper Thickness

The thickness of the paper is as vital as the GSM. Finding the thickness of a paper means determining its bulkiness and of course density. And it is also a fact that for different purposes, papers of different thicknesses may be required. 

Measured using a thickness gauge or micrometer, the thickness of the paper depends on some exclusive factors. First, it is the level of refining or beating of the pulp. Then, it is the length of the fiber, where pulp made of short-length fibers lowers the thickness of the paper. Thirdly, how loaded or filled the paper is, will also determine the thickness of the paper. 

UEC is a leading manufacturer of digital thickness micrometers. This easy-to-use and motor-driven instrument is crafted to accurately measure the thickness of paper, paperboard as well as plastics. The test takes place under a continued pressure of 1 kg/cm2. All the operator needs to do is push a single button to use it.

When the test completes, the attached imported Add-on type topical transducer displays the results digitally. The resolution of the display is 0.001 mm / 0.01 mm. The equipment is certified under the standards - SCAN P 7, SCAN P 47, TAPPI T411, CPPA D.4, ISO 534, ISO 3034, FEFCO No.3, DIN 53105, BS 3983, and BS 4817.

Using this thickness gauge, manufacturers can test the thickness of the following papers:

• Newsprint
• Duplex Paper
• Art Paper
• Writing/Printing/Copier paper
• Kraft/Flute Liner
• Corrugated fiberboard
• Box board
• Tissue Paper
• Other soft materials

As mentioned, at UEC, manufacturers also get a thickness micrometer for papers of less thickness, such as tissue paper or other soft materials. The equipment offers a persistent pressure of 0.2 kg, with a dead weight load of over 10 cm2 surface area.
 

UEC is a leading pulp, paper, and package testing equipments. From the smallest to the largest testing equipment, we have developed each one using the best technology to cater to the manufacturers’ requirements. This is the reason manufacturers from around the world rely on us when it comes to investing in the right machines at the right rates.
