About This Product
The thickness of a piled floor covering such as a carpet depends on the load pressing on it, and the reading falls as the load rises, so thickness is measured under a specified load to give a standard value. Measuring under different loads also shows how well the carpet resists compression and how well it recovers after the load is removed. In this gauge a weighted rod with a flat indentor rests on the carpet, and a dial indicator is read. An LED and dry cell system lets the reading be taken without the dial indicator pressing on the carpet. The Carpet Thickness Gauge can be supplied and exported to buyers in Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Malta, Gambia and Tanzania.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What does the Carpet Thickness Gauge measure?
It is designed to measure the thickness of floor coverings under different loads.
Q2. Why must the load be specified?
The indicated thickness depends considerably on the load and gets smaller as the load increases, so thickness is determined under a specified load for the value to be considered standard.
Q3. What does the LED and dry cell system do?
It enables the thickness to be measured without the force of the dial indicator acting on the surface of the floor covering under test.
