ISO 9073-2 method A FAQ: instruments, ranges and method scope
The TNG1089 and TNG1094 instruments are suitable for testing in accordance with ISO 9073-2 method A due to their precise specifications that align with the standard's requirements for thickness measurement.
How does the TNG1089 support ISO 9073-2 method A?
The TNG1089 Digital Thickness Gauge supports ISO 9073-2 method A by providing a measuring accuracy of 0.01mm, which is critical for ensuring precise thickness measurements required by the standard. Additionally, the instrument has a pressing foot lowering speed of 1.72 mm/s, which aligns with the controlled application of force specified in the standard.
What specifications make the TNG1094 suitable for ISO 9073-2 method A?
The TNG1094 Fabric Thickness Tester /B is suitable for ISO 9073-2 method A due to its measuring accuracy of 0.01mm and a pressing foot lowering speed of 1.72 mm/s. These specifications ensure that the instrument can deliver consistent and reliable thickness measurements as required by the standard.
What pressing foot areas are available on the TNG1089 and TNG1094?
The TNG1089 and TNG1094 both offer pressing foot areas of 100mm², 2000mm², 2500mm², and 10000mm². This range of areas allows for flexibility in testing different materials and sample sizes, ensuring that the measurements are representative of the material's true thickness.
How do the load weights on the TNG1089 and TNG1094 meet ISO 9073-2 method A requirements?
The TNG1089 and TNG1094 both provide load weights of 2cN x 2, 5cN x 1, 10cN × 2, 50cN × 2, 100cN x 1, 400cN x 1, and 1000cN × 2. These load weights ensure that the instruments can apply the appropriate force to the sample, as specified by ISO 9073-2 method A, to obtain accurate and repeatable results.
