About This Product
Thickness is a basic property of a fabric, and other test results are often reported alongside it. A thickness gauge presses a flat indenter onto the sample at a fixed pressure, so that readings can be repeated and compared. In school and college labs it is used on fabrics, paper, rubber and plastic sheets. The indenter and the anvil share the same axis, and a lifting lever lowers the indenter gently onto the sample.
