Checkline Benchtop Material Thickness Gauges

F.A.Q.

How do benchtop thickness gauges comply with ASTM, ISO, DIN, and EN standards?

 International testing standards for compressible materials—such as ASTM D1777 and ISO 5084 (textiles), ISO 9073-2 (non-wovens/fleece), DIN EN ISO 2589 (leather), and ASTM D5199 (geosynthetics)—mandate three strict test parameters:
  1. Presser Foot Area / Diameter (e.g., 20 cm², 25 cm², Ø 28.7 mm, or Ø 10 mm);
  2. Constant Dead-Weight Contact Pressure (e.g., 0.1 kPa, 0.5 kPa, 2 kPa, 20 kPa, or 50 kPa);
  3. Controlled Lowering Speed & Dwell Time before recording the measurement.
Our Checkline TMG, Checkline MTG, Checkline D-2000, and Checkline D-2020 are supplied with the exact presser foot and dead-weight combinations required by your target standard.

What is the advantage of a motorized benchtop thickness gauge over a manual lever model?

 On manual benchtop gauges like the Checkline D-1000, Checkline D-2000, and Checkline D-2010, the operator lowers the feeler using a mechanical lever. The Checkline D-2020 Motorized Precision Benchtop Thickness Gauge automates the lowering speed, dwell time, and measurement capture cycle—completely eliminating operator impact variations on high-loft fleece, hygienic paper, and soft foams while calculating live onboard statistics (Mean, Min, Max, Standard Deviation) on its touchscreen display.

Can one benchtop gauge be reconfigured to test multiple materials and standards?

 Yes. If your laboratory tests different substrates under multiple ASTM or ISO protocols, the Checkline TMG Universal Benchtop Material Thickness Gauge features tool-free interchangeable presser feet and calibrated weights. Similarly, the Checkline MTG Material Thickness Gauge can be paired with the Checkline MTG-RINGS Stackable Ring Weight Set to adjust applied force across textiles, non-wovens, rubber, and films.

How do I verify and calibrate a benchtop material thickness gauge in the lab?

 Benchtop gauges are verified by zeroing the presser foot against the reference base plate and measuring NIST-traceable precision gauge blocks across the working stroke. ABQ Industrial offers individual Mitutoyo Rectangular Gauge Blocks (such as 0.5" and 1.0" Grade 0 / ASME blocks) to verify indicator linearity, accuracy, and table parallelism.
