PBT-01 Paper Board Thickness Tester

Paper Board Thickness Tester Introduction

The PBT-01 Paper Board Thickness Tester is an advanced, high-precision instrument designed specifically to measure the thickness of single sheets of corrugated fibreboard. This device plays a vital role in quality control for packaging materials, as accurate thickness measurements are essential in determining the durability and strength of fibreboard used in manufacturing packing cases and other packaging solutions. Suitable for all types of corrugated fibreboard, the PBT-01 ensures that packaging materials meet stringent quality standards for protection and reliability.

Importance of Accurate Thickness Measurement in Packaging

Accurate thickness measurement is crucial in the packaging industry, where consistency in board thickness impacts the protective qualities and structural integrity of the final product. The PBT-01 paper board thickness tester helps manufacturers and quality control professionals verify that each sheet meets precise thickness requirements, optimizing material performance and helping maintain product quality during transit. Reliable thickness measurement prevents material wastage, reinforces packaging stability, and upholds regulatory compliance in packaging quality.

Testing Principle and Methodology of Paper Board Thickness Tester

• Principle of Thickness Measurement The PBT-01 measures corrugated board thickness by placing the board sample between two parallel, circular pressure faces under a specific static load. This high-precision test applies the necessary pressure to capture the board’s thickness with unmatched accuracy.
• Displacement Thickness Testing Method Using the displacement thickness testing method, the PBT-01 employs one fixed face (the anvil) and a movable face that applies uniform pressure as it measures the thickness. The movable face exerts a consistent 20 kPa ± 0.5 kPa pressure, ensuring that the results are accurate and reproducible. The instrument is capable of measuring thicknesses ranging from 0 to 20 mm, with a resolution of 0.001 mm, making it a reliable choice for both standard and specialized testing needs.

Instrument Structure and Technical Specifications

• Pressure Faces and Contact Area The PBT-01’s two circular pressure faces are designed for optimal accuracy. The anvil is stationary, while the second face moves perpendicularly to apply pressure evenly at a rate of 2 mm/s to 3 mm/s. The circular pressure faces measure 35.7 mm ± 0.3 mm in diameter, with a contact area of 1000 mm² ± 20 mm². This configuration ensures that the test pressure is distributed uniformly, giving precise thickness readings.
