ISO 4593: Plastics; Film and Sheeting; Determination of Thickness by Mechanical Scanning

ISO 4593 defines the standard for measuring the thickness of plastic films and sheeting. Precise thickness measurements are crucial for plastic manufacturers, particularly in packaging applications, to ensure product performance and compliance with regulatory standards. The Touch Thickness Tester meets ISO 4593 requirements, ensuring reliable thickness readings for plastic films used in a variety of industries.

Test Methods and Application

The Touch Thickness Tester utilizes a mechanical scanning technique to measure the thickness of a wide range of materials. Here’s how the process works:

1. Sample Placement: The material sample is placed on the instrument’s base, ensuring it is positioned correctly for accurate measurement.
2. Presser Foot Mechanism: A weighted presser foot is gently lowered onto the material. The tester measures the displacement or gap between the presser foot and the base, providing an accurate measurement of the specimen’s thickness.
3. Material Types: The tester is versatile and can measure the thickness of materials like plastic films, textiles, paper, foils, fabrics, and membranes. Whether you’re testing packaging materials, medical device packaging, or textiles, the Touch Thickness Tester ensures precise results.

This method is particularly valuable for quality control processes in industries where material consistency is vital, such as packaging, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and textiles. By providing accurate and repeatable measurements, the Touch Thickness Tester helps businesses identify thickness variations that could lead to defects, regulatory non-compliance, or higher production costs.

Technical Features and Functionality

The Touch Thickness Tester is designed for ease of use and precision, with several advanced features that ensure efficient operation and accurate results:
