This digital gauge accurately measures the thickness of rubber and similar soft materials using a constant pressure anvil. The gauge conforms to international test standards and is widely used when testing rubber for tensile strength and compression set. The 150mm-diameter base provides a smooth flat ground surface upon which the test piece is placed. Location for a lower anvil, required by some standards, is also provided. The digital indicator is attached to an arm, which can slide on a vertical column.
Throughout the dial gauge travel (25mm), a constant force on the spindle ensures the anvil pressure on the test piece in constant.
A lifting lever attached to the indicator raises the spindle and upper anvil, allowing easy location of the test piece.
Accessories
Various diameter anvils can be screwed into the dial gauge spindle.
A range of additive weights can be placed in the carrier at the upper end of the spindle, which creates the correct anvil pressure on the test piece.
A software package is available which exports data from the indicator to a PC for further analysis.
