- Thickness gauge suitable for large nonwovens
- Measurement of compressibility
This thickness gauge suitable for nonwovens offer more thickness measurement, the determination of compressibility. The compressibility allows a nonwoven classify into different classes:
- Non-large;
- Large (<20%);
- Very large (> 20%).
This version is adapted to the first type and second type. This rate is obtained between 0.1 and 0.5 kPa.
The measurement principle is simple: the sample is placed on a reference surface, the extent (vertical) is made by the application of the presser foot of 25 cm², with a pressure of 0.02 kPa. The measuring range of 20 mm, with an accuracy of 0.01 mm.
