About Thickness Gauges

4 different thickness gauges

  1. Applications & Selection Criterias

    Thickness Gauges are used for measuring the thickness of leather, textiles, cardboard, felt, rubber, sheet metal, foil, plywood, plastic part of all kinds, etc.

    Depending on the application, the following points are important for selecting the best model:

    • Max. resolution
    • Measuring range
    • Depth of jaw
    • Shape of feelers
    • Measuring principle

    The aluminium housing is lightweight and rugged.
    It can be easily zeroed by turning the outer knurled ring of the scale.

    Specified Test Report with calibration report can be made only for the dial gauge for an extra charge.
