Portable Soft Paper Thickness Meter Easy To Operate And Accurate Thickness Meter For Paper Napkin

Introducing the THD-01 Paper Thickness Meter, a specialized instrument designed for precise thickness and bulk measurements of tissue paper and other paper products under a 2KPa pressure. Widely used in industries including packaging, food, pharmaceuticals, and more, the THD-01 Paper Thickness Meter delivers reliable and consistent results for various applications such as paper napkins, handkerchiefs, paper towels, and kitchen rolls.

By utilizing advanced technology, this instrument measures both single-layer and laminated paper sheets with exceptional accuracy. Whether you're testing in a laboratory setting or performing quality control in production, the Paper Thickness Meter ensures your tissue products meet the highest industry standards.

Principle of Operation

The THD-01 Paper Thickness Meter operates by measuring the distance between a fixed reference plate and a movable pressure-foot, which applies a 2KPa load to the test piece. The tissue paper sample is placed between these two parallel surfaces, and the thickness is determined as the gap between them under the specified pressure. This setup guarantees repeatability and accuracy, providing a true representation of the product’s thickness during both the manufacturing process and post-production.

Product Description

The THD-01 Paper Thickness Meter features two parallel, horizontal faces, precision-engineered to ensure flatness within 0.003 mm. These surfaces facilitate the accurate placement of the tissue sample, providing reliable thickness measurements. The lower face remains fixed, while the upper, movable pressure-foot applies uniform pressure. The Paper Thickness Meter supports measurement of single-ply tissues, laminated sheets, and bulk layers, making it ideal for both laboratory and production environments.

Key to its accuracy is the circular pressure-foot with a diameter of 35.7 mm, delivering an applied area of 10.0 cm². This ensures an even distribution of the 2KPa pressure across the test sample. The Paper Thickness Meter operates at a measuring speed of 2.0 mm/s, ensuring consistent performance with every use.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is single-ply thickness?
   Single-ply thickness refers to the measurement between the two principal surfaces of a single layer of tissue paper under a static load of 2KPa. It’s commonly used in the production and testing of unlaminated tissue paper.

2. What is single-sheet thickness?
   This measurement pertains to the thickness of a single sheet of tissue product (laminated or unlaminated), measured under the same applied load. It’s essential for ensuring the correct thickness of finished products.

3. What is bulking thickness?
   Bulking thickness is calculated by measuring the thickness of several superimposed sheets of tissue paper. This is crucial for quality control when ensuring consistent thickness across product batches.

4. How does the Paper Thickness Meter ensure measurement accuracy?
   The Paper Thickness Meter features high surface parallelism (≤ 0.001 mm) and a consistent applied pressure (2 KPa), ensuring the tissue sample lies flat during testing. The accuracy is further enhanced by its indication error of ±0.05%.
