This document summarizes specifications for different models of caliper thickness gauges that use a dead weight system to measure the thickness of materials. The gauges can measure materials from 0-10mm or 0-1mm in thickness with a resolution of 10 or 1 microns. They apply a constant pressure of 500g/cm2 using a dead weight and dial or digital sensors to measure and display the thickness. The document provides a comparison of various analog and digital models that differ in range, resolution, power source, and lifting mechanism.

1. Thickness
Confirms to TAPPI / ASTM
Caliper Thickness Tester
(Dead-Weight Type)
This is a precision instrument to accurately measure the thickness of flexible and semi-rigid
substrates like tissue, paper, board, corrugated board, plastic films, laminates, foils, etc.
A dial type caliper gauge is mounted on the base with a Dead Weight on top so as to develop a
uniform, reproducible constant pressure on the anvil through the foot.
