ASTM D1777 Textile Thickness Gauge - A Comprehensive Guide
In the quality control and performance evaluation of textile materials, precise thickness measurement plays a pivotal role. It not only affects the product's visual texture but also directly impacts the durability, warmth retention, and comfort of textiles. To standardize and unify textile thickness testing methods, the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) established the ASTM D1777 standard, providing a scientific and reliable basis for measuring textile material thickness.
What is the ASTM D1777
This method is used to measure the thickness of most textile materials under standard pressure. The results can be applied to quality control, product development, and commercial acceptance.
Similar Test Methods to ASTM D1777
Apart from ASTM D1777 standard test method, different areas of the world also use other standards for measuring fabric and non-woven materials’ thickness. Some of them are listed below
GB/T3820 – Determination of thickness of textiles and textile products GB/T24218.2 – This method deals with test methods for nonwovens. Part 2: Determination of thickness ISO 5084-1996 – Determination of thickness of textiles and textile products Each standard has its own method and should be understood before following.
ASTM D1777 Testing Devices
GESTER manufactures multiple instruments and equipment to support thickness testing of textile materials according to ASTM D1777 standards. Below are some of the most popular instruments and equipment:
Electronic Thickness Tester for Textile Fabric GT-C46-2 GT-C46 Thickness Gauge is used to determine of thickness of textiles and textile products, and suitable for measurement of various kind of woven, knitted fabrics and other uniform thin materials. This machine is widely used in cotton textile, knitted textile, coverlet, handkerchief, and paper making industries.
