Determination of thickness of plastic films, aluminium foils, plane multilayer-materials and sheets

Determination by mechanical scanning (accredited test method)

In short — AI-generated

This test determines the thickness of plastic films, aluminum foils, and multilayer materials using a mechanical scanning method. A precision sensor measures the distance between two contact surfaces while the sample material is placed between them.

The resulting value provides the exact thickness in micrometers, which is essential for verifying compliance with material specifications and quality standards. This data is used to ensure consistent barrier properties, mechanical stability, and cost-effective material usage in packaging production.
