Finding ISO 9073-2 method A equipment through Fineness / Thickness / Length / Density

The Digital Thickness Gauge (TNG1089) and Fabric Thickness Tester (TNG1094) are suitable for compliance with ISO 9073-2 method A due to their precise measurement capabilities and alignment with the standard's requirements.
Compliance with ISO 9073-2 Method A

ISO 9073-2 method A outlines the procedures for determining the thickness of textile materials using a mechanical method. This standard ensures that measurements are consistent, repeatable, and suitable for quality control in the textile industry. The Digital Thickness Gauge (TNG1089) and Fabric Thickness Tester (TNG1094) are specifically designed to meet these requirements by providing accurate and reliable thickness measurements under controlled conditions.
Instrument Specifications Supporting ISO 9073-2 Method A
The Digital Thickness Gauge (TNG1089) is equipped with a measuring accuracy of 0.01mm, which is essential for detecting minor variations in material thickness. This level of precision aligns with the standard's need for high-resolution data. Additionally, the gauge offers a pressing foot area of 100mm², which ensures that the measurement is taken over a defined and standardized surface area, as required by ISO 9073-2 method A.
The Fabric Thickness Tester (TNG1094) also meets these specifications with a measuring accuracy of 0.01mm and a pressing foot area of 100mm². These features ensure that the instrument can provide consistent and repeatable results, which are critical for compliance with the standard. The ability to adjust the pressing duration to 10 seconds or 30 seconds allows for flexibility in testing different material types while maintaining the integrity of the measurement process.
