Applications:

Fabric thickness tester / elastic carpet gauge / carpet thickness meter used to measure the thickness of the fabric, which is mainly suitable for measuring the thickness of leather, rubber and textiles and other materials, to detect its standard situation.

Product Information:

The Flexible Carpet Thickness Tester is a testing instrument designed to measure the thickness of carpets, rugs, and other textile floor coverings under specified pressure conditions, providing reliable data for product quality control and evaluation.

Flexible carpet thickness tester

1. Based on ISO and BS standards, provide a pressure test carpet backing, nonwovens, geotextiles

2. the instrument is designed to facilitate the testing standards to meet the different needs of

3. directly associated with the alternative software

4. for a wide range: the thickness of the carpet, and carpet underlay compression and elastic recovery, non-woven, foam, geotextile

Flexible carpet thickness tester

1. test the carpet in order to test the thickness and compression recovery, the instrument provides a presser foot and a set of weights to provide 2-200 kpa pressure. And in the non-woven fabric test, we need to provide a different specification of the presser foot.

2. the test results are displayed on the digital indicator, which automatically returns to zero.

3. the standard thickness gauge can measure up to 25 mm thickness of the sample, which can provide flexible solutions for different applications. For samples thicker than 25 mm, you can choose other thickness gauge.

FAQ

1. What is a flexible carpet thickness tester?​

A flexible carpet thickness tester is a precision gauge that measures the thickness of flexible textile floor coverings, including tufted and needle-punched carpets, under a defined presser-foot pressure. It gives a repeatable value of the thickness in millimetres that you can compare over time.

2. Which standards cover carpet thickness measurement?​

Carpet thickness is normally measured following ISO 1765 and ISO 1766 (for thickness above the substrate), with equivalents such as GB/T 3820 and ASTM D1777. Confirm the presser-foot area, applied pressure and dwell time that your target standard requires before choosing a thickness tester.

3. How is carpet thickness actually measured?​

A circular presser foot is lowered onto the specimen at a specified pressure. The reading is taken after the foot has settled, so the pile settles under load. Several readings are taken across the sample and averaged, because pile height varies naturally.

4. What specifications matter when choosing a carpet thickness tester?​

Look at measuring range and resolution, presser-foot diameter and applied pressure, gauge flatness, digital output, and repeatability. A stable frame and a foot that is easy to swap for different standards matter more than a very large measuring range.

5. How can I improve the repeatability of carpet thickness results?​

Condition samples according to ISO 139 (usually 65 ± 4% RH, 20 ± 2 °C). Let them lie flat, avoid testing creased areas, and use a fixed dwell time. Take at least five readings per specimen and keep the same operator technique between runs.
