1.0 INTRODUCTION

The Model MTG benchtop contact thickness gauge accurately and
conveniently performs geometric dimensional testing (thickness
measurement) on rubber, fabrics, foams, tapes/films and a wide
assortment of other soft materials. It employs a specified presser foot
(feeler) of a specific diameter/area, combined with a predetermined
mass (weight) as noted in the ASTM D 3767 standard.

The MTG system is supplied with a unique air damping feature
which ensures that the presser foot descends at the same rate for each
test. This eliminates human error resulting in superior repeatability.
If required, the rate of descent can be user-adjusted.

For those requiring data output for recording and quality
documentation purposes, a serial output cable and Windows-based
software program is optionally available.
