Thickness Gauge for Soft Materials – Microtech Metrology (digital, 0–10 mm)

A digital thickness gauge designed for repeatable measurements of soft substrates such as rubber and elastomer components in laboratory and production environments.

• Digital thickness gauge, 0–10 mm range
• Resolution 0.001 mm with ±0.01 mm accuracy
• Ø10 mm measuring faces for soft materials
• Compliant with ISO 23529-A / ASTM D3767-03-A

Precision tailored to soft materials and small parts

The instrument provides a compact measuring range of 0–10 mm, placing it in the micro class for fine mechanical tasks. With a display resolution of 0.001 mm and an accuracy of ±0.01 mm, the device offers a balance between sub‑micrometre readability and robust repeatability suitable for production sampling and R&D trials. The specified measuring force of 1.76±0.35 N reduces surface indentation on elastomers, ensuring that readings reflect true thickness rather than artefacts created by excess pressure. This combination of low measuring force and fine resolution supports informed quality decisions while preserving delicate samples.

Built for repeatability and standards compliance

Constructed with Ø10 mm measuring faces that spread load evenly, the gauge is optimised for materials rated above 35 IRHD, including many industrial rubbers and soft elastomers. Conformity with ISO 23529‑A / ASTM D3767‑03‑A provides a recognisable framework for test procedure and acceptance criteria, easing integration into established quality systems. The absence of a timing function streamlines the unit for direct thickness assessment rather than extended procedural cycles, making it a straightforward solution for inspection benches and incoming goods checks.

Practical handling that speeds up inspection workflows

A digital readout simplifies logging and reduces transcription errors: values can be read at high precision without interpretation of scales. The instrument’s compact footprint and micro‑class reach permit use on small components and assemblies where space is limited, while the modest measuring force minimises sample deformation and rework. The device is therefore well suited to short production runs, sample series and development labs that require consistent, fast measurement with verifiable accuracy.

Clear data points for technical decisions

Key performance figures are provided to support procurement and method planning: the short measuring span concentrates on the most commonly required thicknesses for elastomer parts, while the combination of 0.001 mm resolution and ±0.01 mm accuracy gives a verifiable basis for process control limits. The instrument’s digital nature reduces operator variance when compared with analogue devices, supporting a rational upgrade path for workshops seeking measurable improvements in throughput and fewer out‑of‑tolerance incidents.

FAQ

How small a thickness can be measured reliably with this instrument?
The instrument measures across a 0–10 mm span; with a 0.001 mm display resolution and ±0.01 mm accuracy it is optimised for fine thickness checks within that range.

Is the gauge suitable for soft rubber samples?
Yes, the gauge is designed for rubber and elastomer materials above 35 IRHD, using Ø10 mm faces and a controlled measuring force to minimise surface indentation.

Which standards does the instrument comply with?
Measurement procedures align with ISO 23529‑A and ASTM D3767‑03‑A, supporting standardised test protocols and documentation.

Will delicate samples be damaged by the measuring force?
The specified measuring force of 1.76±0.35 N is chosen to limit indentation on soft substrates while providing stable contact for repeatable readings.

Is the readout suitable for laboratory data recording?
The digital display with 0.001 mm resolution simplifies reading and reduces transcription errors during routine logging and sample series.
