Thickness Measurement: Basic to Advanced Methods and Tools

Thickness measurement is determining the distance between two parallel surfaces of an object. This applies to both the main body of a material and any thin layers applied to its surface.This dimensional inspection affects structural integrity, corrosion protection, product quality, and regulatory compliance.The industry relies on standardized procedures for consistent… <a href="https://www.plastiform.info/en/blog/metrology/thickness-measurement-basic-to-advanced-methods-and-tools/" class="read-more">Read More</a>

The Roughness Tester – Measuring Surface Condition

During machining, no matter how precise the machine used is, surfaces will always have irregularities. These irregularities are micro-geometric roughness caused by the imperfection of cutting tools (yes, perfection doesn’t exist!).Measuring these imperfections is crucial. For over 80 years, surface finish measurement has been used to improve… <a href="https://www.plastiform.info/en/blog/metrology/the-roughometer-measuring-surface-condition/" class="read-more">Read More</a>
