Fabric Thickness Tester(Gauge) /B - TNG1094

The TNG1094 is designed to determine the thickness of various textile materials under controlled pressure conditions. The instrument operates by applying a defined pressure to the fabric sample using a calibrated pressing foot, then measuring the resulting thickness. The device supports multiple international standards, including GB/T 24218.2 Method A, ISO 5084, ISO 9073-2 method A, and JIS L1096 Item 8.4 Method B. It is suitable for testing woven and knitted fabrics, providing consistent and repeatable results. The TNG1094 features a digital display and automatic lifting mechanism to minimize manual errors. The pressing foot area options include 100 mm², 500 mm², 1000 mm², and 2000 mm², with corresponding diameter measurements. The instrument is powered by 220 V, 50 Hz, 3 A, 100 W. The model number TNG1094 is used for thickness measurement in accordance with the specified standards.

Digital Thickness Gauge(meter) provides a determination of the thickness of textiles and textile products like woven and knitted fabrics under a specified pressure. This fabric thickness tester features automatic lifting up and down to avoid manual operation error by presetting pressing time for 10s or 30s, available with two unit modes in mm and inch.

Testing accuracy up to 0.01mm, to meet the high requirements of textile laboratories.

Two modes to choose from, single test and continuous test, and two types of press time, 10S or 30S.

The instrument adopts an electric lifting bar, weight pressure, automatic timing, and automatic display of the value, the operation is very convenient, and the data is accurate, avoiding manual error. Very smart thickness gauge meter.

A compact size can be placed on the desktop to save space.

Know more about Digital Thickness Gauge

What is fabric thickness?

Fabric thickness is mainly related to yarn fineness, fabric structure, and the degree of yarn bending in the fabric, generally expressed in millimeters. The fabric thickness has a great influence on the wearing properties, such as the fastness, warmth, breathability, wind resistance, stiffness, and durability of the fabric. You can use a series of thickness gauge tools to test the fabric thickness or cloth thickness.

How to use the digital thickness gauge?

You can find the detailed operating procedures in our blog. When replacing the presser foot or during long periods of non-use of the instrument, place a protective adhesive pad between the presser foot and the reference plate to protect the measuring surface from damage.

Turn off the power switch after each experiment and unplug the instrument from the main socket.

The importance of thickness gauge It has been indicated through weave analysis and testing that the weavethickness has distinct effect on fabric smoothness, wetting, the dot enlarges quantity of bonding, peeling strength, etc. Therefore, scientifically measuring the thickness of fabrics is particularly important. The appearance of thickness meter solves this problem. Because the thickness of the fabric increases with the area of the presser foot of the material thickness gauge, it becomes smaller as the applied pressure increases. Therefore, reducing the measurement error is the core technology of the digital thickness meter.
