Finding GB/T 24218.2 Method A equipment through Fineness / Thickness / Length / Density

The Digital Thickness Gauge (TNG1089) and Fabric Thickness Tester (TNG1094) are suitable for testing in accordance with GB/T 24218.2 Method A, which specifies the measurement of fabric thickness using a controlled pressing force and duration.
Instrument Category and Standard Alignment

The instruments fall under the category of Fineness / Thickness / Length / Density Testing. This category is specifically designed for measuring the physical properties of textile materials, including thickness, which is a critical parameter in GB/T 24218.2 Method A. The standard requires precise and repeatable measurements of fabric thickness under defined conditions, ensuring consistent quality control across manufacturing processes. Both the TNG1089 and TNG1094 are engineered to meet these requirements by providing accurate and reliable thickness measurements.
Specifications and Their Relevance to the Standard
The TNG1089 Digital Thickness Gauge has a measuring accuracy of 0.01mm, which is essential for meeting the precision demands of GB/T 24218.2 Method A. This level of accuracy ensures that even minor variations in fabric thickness can be detected, supporting the standard's focus on quality assurance. Additionally, the instrument features a pressing foot with an area of 100mm², which is suitable for testing thin and delicate fabrics, ensuring that the measurement is representative of the material's actual thickness.
The TNG1094 Fabric Thickness Tester /B also has a measuring accuracy of 0.01mm, aligning with the precision requirements of the standard. The instrument offers a range of pressing foot areas, including 100mm², which is ideal for testing fine fabrics. This specification supports the standard by allowing for consistent and accurate measurements across different fabric types and thicknesses.
Model-Specific Features and Standard Compliance

Both models provide a range of load weights, including 2cN x 2 and 1000cN x 2, enabling users to select the appropriate pressing force for different fabric types. This flexibility is crucial for adhering to the standard, which may require varying levels of force depending on the material being tested. The pressing duration options of 10s and 30s further support the standard by allowing for controlled and repeatable testing conditions.
The TNG1089 and TNG1094 are designed to meet the exacting requirements of GB/T 24218.2 Method A, ensuring that fabric thickness measurements are both accurate and reliable. These specifications not only support the standard's methodology but also enhance the overall quality and consistency of textile testing processes.
