Analog Thickness Gauge

  An Analog Thickness Gauge is a manual instrument used to measure the thickness of materials such as fabric, paper, leather, rubber, and plastic. Unlike digital gauges, it displays readings through a mechanical dial or scale.   Purpose Analog Thickness Gauge: To measure material thickness with reasonable accuracy in lab or production settings. Commonly used in textiles, packaging, leather goods, and quality control labs.   Working Principle : The sample is placed between a flat anvil and a presser foot. When the presser foot contacts the sample under uniform pressure, the thickness is indicated on a dial scale, typically in millimeters.   Types of Analog Thickness Gauge: Dial Thickness Gauge – With a needle and graduated scale. Micrometer-Type Gauge – For finer precision and small samples.   Applications: Textile and fabric inspection Leather and rubber sheet measurement Paper and film thickness control Brand : DUNLIN Origin : TAIWAN Measuring Range : 0mm ~ 10mm Accuracy : 0.01mm Deep Throat Range : 120mm Dimension : ( 195 × 130 × 25 ) mm Benefits High Durability – Since analog thickness gauges do not rely on electronic circuits, they are more durable and resistant to environmental factors such as dust and moisture. No Power Requirement – These gauges operate mechanically, eliminating the need for batteries or power sources. Cost-Effective – Analog meters are generally more affordable compared to digital alternatives while still providing precise measurements. Ease of Use – Simple mechanical operation ensures that even non-technical users can easily measure thickness. Reliable Performance – Analog thickness gauges provide consistent and accurate readings without the risk of software malfunctions. Advantages Immediate Readings – No waiting time for booting or calibration, providing instant measurement results. Long-Lasting Accuracy – These devices do not suffer from battery drainage or electronic failures, ensuring accuracy over long periods. Lightweight and Portable – Many analog thickness gauge meters are compact and easy to carry, making them convenient for on-the-go use. Wide Material Compatibility – Suitable for measuring the thickness of metals, textiles, paper, and various industrial materials. Minimal Maintenance – Without electronic parts, maintenance requirements are significantly reduced. Applications Manufacturing Industry – Used in quality control to ensure material thickness meets specified standards. Automotive Sector – Helps measure paint and coating thickness on vehicles to ensure uniform application. Metalworking and Fabrication – Used to measure sheet metal and pipe thickness to maintain precision in production. Plastic and Rubber Industry – Ensures uniform thickness in plastic sheets, films, and rubber products. Paper and Textile Industry – Essential for measuring paper thickness in printing industries and fabric thickness in textile production. Aerospace and Aviation – Used for checking the thickness of coatings and composite materials in aircraft manufacturing.
