High-Precision Thickness Testing Gauge for Corrugated Cardboard and Packaging Materials
The Thickness Testing Gauge, specifically the PBT-01 Board Thickness Testing Gauge, is a state-of-the-art instrument designed to accurately measure the thickness of corrugated fiberboard and other packaging materials. This gauge is essential for manufacturers and quality control laboratories involved in the production and testing of packaging materials such as cardboard boxes and fiberboard cases. With advanced features and robust construction, the PBT-01 ensures reliable and precise measurements, catering to a wide range of industries, including packaging, food, pharmaceuticals, beverages, and education.
The PBT-01 Thickness Testing Gauge is engineered to determine the single sheet thickness of corrugated fiberboard, a critical parameter in the manufacture of packing cases. Applicable to all types of corrugated fiberboard, this instrument provides high accuracy and repeatability, ensuring that packaging materials meet stringent quality standards. The gauge is equipped with a digital display for easy readability and allows for precise measurements with a resolution of up to 0.001 mm.
High Precision Measurement: The Thickness Testing Gauge offers a measurement resolution of 0.001 mm, ensuring extremely accurate results. This high level of precision is ideal for applications that require meticulous quality control and compliance with industry standards.
Advanced Measurement Principle: The PBT-01 employs a static load technique to measure the thickness of corrugated board. This method involves placing the board between two circular, parallel pressure faces that apply a consistent load of 20 kPa ± 0.5 kPa. This approach guarantees uniform pressure distribution, resulting in reliable thickness measurements across different material types.
Versatile Usage: Suitable for a variety of packaging materials, the Thickness Testing Gauge can be used on single-wall, double-wall, and triple-wall corrugated boards. This versatility makes it an invaluable tool for manufacturers and testing laboratories that handle diverse packaging requirements.
Robust Design and User-Friendly Operation: The PBT-01 is built with a durable frame and high-quality materials to withstand frequent use in industrial environments. It features a straightforward interface with an ON/OFF power switch, measurement system conversion options, and a reset ZERO function that allows measurements to start at any point.
Accurate Contact Pressure and Area: The gauge features two pressure faces—one fixed (anvil) and one movable—to ensure that the contact pressure remains consistent throughout the measurement process. The instrument measures a circular region of the test piece (1000 mm² ± 20 mm²) with a contact pressure of 20 kPa ± 0.5 kPa, ensuring precise and repeatable measurements.

Enhanced Quality Control: By providing precise thickness measurements, the Thickness Testing Gauge helps ensure that packaging materials meet industry standards and customer specifications. This contributes to improved product quality and reduced material waste.
Compliance with International Standards: The PBT-01 is designed to comply with various international standards for packaging materials, ensuring that manufacturers and testing laboratories can confidently use the instrument for global operations.
User-Centric Design: The instrument’s ergonomic design and intuitive controls make it easy for operators to use, reducing the likelihood of user error and increasing productivity in quality control processes.
Durability and Reliability: Constructed with high-quality materials and components, the Thickness Testing Gauge is built to last, providing reliable performance in demanding environments.
The Thickness Testing Gauge is ideal for a range of applications across various industries:
The PBT-01 operates using a simple yet effective method. The corrugated board is placed between two parallel, circular pressure faces. The movable face applies a specified pressure, and the gauge measures the thickness of the board under this load. The digital display shows the measurement, which can be recorded and analyzed for quality control purposes. The gauge's accuracy is enhanced by its ability to reset to zero at any point, providing flexibility and precision in measurement.
The PBT-01 Thickness Testing Gauge is an essential tool for any business involved in the manufacturing, testing, or use of packaging materials. Its high precision, robust design, and user-friendly features make it a top choice for ensuring material quality and compliance with industry standards. Whether you are in the packaging, food, beverage, pharmaceutical, or educational sector, the PBT-01 provides reliable, accurate, and efficient thickness measurements that enhance your quality control processes.
What is corrugated fiberboard?
Corrugated fiberboard is a type of packaging material consisting of one or more sheets of fluted paper glued to a flat sheet of board or between several sheets, commonly used for shipping boxes and packaging.
What does single sheet thickness of corrugated fiberboard mean?
It refers to the distance between one surface of a corrugated fiberboard and the other, measured under an applied static load, which determines the material's suitability for specific packaging applications.
Can the Thickness Testing Gauge be used for materials other than corrugated board?
Yes, the Thickness Testing Gauge can be used for various packaging materials that require precise thickness measurement under controlled pressure conditions.
How accurate is the PBT-01 Thickness Testing Gauge?
The PBT-01 provides measurements with a resolution of 0.001 mm and a display error of ±0.05%, ensuring high accuracy for quality control and compliance.
What industries benefit from using the PBT-01 Thickness Testing Gauge?
Industries such as packaging, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and educational institutions benefit greatly from using the PBT-01 for testing the thickness of packaging materials and ensuring compliance with quality standards.
