Finding JIS L1096 Item 8.4 Method B equipment through Fineness / Thickness / Length / Density

The Digital Thickness Gauge (TNG1089) and Fabric Thickness Tester (TNG1094) are suitable for compliance with JIS L1096 Item 8.4 Method B, as their specifications align with the required testing parameters for fabric thickness measurement.
Compliance with JIS L1096 Item 8.4 Method B

JIS L1096 Item 8.4 Method B outlines the procedures for determining the thickness of textiles using a specific method that ensures consistent and accurate results. This standard is crucial for quality control in the textile industry, as it helps manufacturers and suppliers meet international specifications for product consistency and performance. The method requires precise measurement tools capable of delivering reliable data under controlled conditions. The Digital Thickness Gauge (TNG1089) and Fabric Thickness Tester (TNG1094) are specifically designed to meet these requirements by offering high precision and adjustable parameters that match the standard's specifications.
Instrument Specifications and Their Relevance to JIS L1096
The Digital Thickness Gauge (TNG1089) and Fabric Thickness Tester (TNG1094) both have a measuring accuracy of 0.01mm, which is essential for ensuring that the thickness measurements are precise and meet the tolerances specified in JIS L1096. This level of accuracy is critical for detecting even minor variations in fabric thickness, which can affect the final product's quality and performance. Additionally, both instruments have a pressing foot lowering speed of 1.72 mm/s, which is consistent with the controlled application of force required by the standard. This speed ensures that the measurement is not influenced by rapid compression, which could lead to inaccurate readings.
