Digital Thickness Gages – Precision Measurement Tools for Material Thickness

A Digital Thickness Gage is a precision measuring instrument designed to determine the thickness of various materials with high accuracy and digital readability. It uses a digital display to provide instant, easy-to-read thickness values, making it a valuable tool in quality control, manufacturing, and research environments.

These gages are equipped with flat or curved anvils depending on the material and shape being measured, and they’re commonly used for metals, plastics, paper, rubber, films, and glass. Built with durable components and ergonomic designs, digital thickness gages offer reliable performance in both laboratory and industrial settings.

 Key Features of Digital Thickness Gages

Digital Precision

Provides accurate and easy-to-read measurements.

User-Friendly Display

Clear LCD for quick data viewing.

Compact Design

Lightweight and portable for on-site use.

Fast Response

Applications of Digital Thickness Gages

  • Quality Control Labs: Measuring product consistency and thickness tolerances.
  • Plastic and Rubber Industry: Checking sheet and molded part dimensions.
  • Paper & Textile Manufacturing: Ensuring uniform thickness of materials.
  • Metal Fabrication: Verifying sheet metal gauge thickness.
  • Automotive and Aerospace: Inspecting components with tight thickness requirements.

How to Use a Digital Thickness Gage

  1. Prepare the Surface: Ensure the material surface is clean and flat.
  2. Turn On & Zero: Power on the gage and zero the display for accuracy.
  3. Position the Material: Place the object between the anvils.
  4. Measure the Part: Gently bring the anvils together around the object and read the value on the digital screen.
  5. Record & Repeat: For consistency, take multiple readings and average.
