Disk Micrometers (Economic Type) – Affordable Precision for Measuring Sheet Material Thickness

Disk micrometers are precision measuring instruments specifically designed to measure the thickness of thin, soft, or sheet-type materials such as paper, rubber, plastics, and sheet metals. Unlike standard micrometers, disk micrometers feature flat, circular measuring faces (disks) that distribute pressure evenly over the surface—ensuring accurate, non-damaging contact.

This economic type of disk micrometers provides reliable measurement at a budget-friendly price, making them ideal for workshops, production floors, and educational use. Their affordability makes them a great option for applications requiring precise, repeatable thickness measurements without the high cost of more advanced models.

Key Features

Flat Disk Measuring Faces

Perfect for sheet material measurements.

Affordable & Reliable

Economic type without compromising accuracy.

Wide Contact Area

Prevents material deformation during measurement.

Mechanical or Digital Display

Easy-to-read scale or LCD readout.

 Applications of Disk Micrometers

  •  Paper and Packaging: Measuring sheet paper, cartons, and film thickness.
  •  Rubber & Plastics: Measuring thickness of sheets, films, and molded parts.
  •  Metal Fabrication: Evaluating thin metal sheets without distortion.
  •  Quality Assurance: Verifying consistency and accuracy during production.
  •  Training Labs: Used in academic settings for precision measurement practice.

 How to Use Disk Micrometers

  1. Clean Measuring Surfaces: Use a lint-free cloth to remove any dust or debris.
  2. Zero the Micrometer: Ensure it reads zero before taking measurements.
  3. Position the Material: Place the sheet or part between the two disk faces.
  4. Apply Gentle Contact: Turn the thimble until light contact is made without compressing the material.
  5. Read the Measurement: View the reading from the analog or digital display.
  6. Store Properly: Clean and return the disk micrometers to their protective case.
