Thickness Gauge

Application:

The Testform thickness gauge is a cost-efficient and easy to use an instrument for measuring the thickness of geotextiles, fabrics, paper, leather, cardboard, plastics, wood, rubber, etc.

The modular design with interchangeable feet with related weights enables the use of several standards. We can also offer specific thickness gauges modified to fit your special requirements.

The constant force enables repeatable readings.

We use only corrosion-resistant materials. Therefore you can use the Testform thickness gauges in environments with high humidity.
