How To Measure Wall Thickness Of PET Bottle In 3 Easy Steps?

wall thickness gauge


PET bottles are widely used in the packaging industry. Polyethylene terephthalate or PET is a very commonly used plastic and is majorly preferred because of its recyclable properties. Magnamike is a high-quality product by Olympus. It is the best device to perform wall thickness gauge testing. The instrument provided a non-destructive method of testing the wall thickness of the PET bottles.

Few products which use PET bottles are as follows:

• Bottled water

• Ketchup

• Jars

• Juices and carbonated drinks

• Cosmetics

• Household products

Now a days, top companies worldwide use PET bottles for fulfilling their packaging needs. With time, it had become a priority to use high quality material in PET industry.

To test the quality of PET bottle there are multiple tests including Burst Pressure, Drop Testing, Moisture Analysis, Top Load test etc.

But the most important of all is the wall thickness test for PET Bottles which can be performed using the Wall Thickness Gauge .

3 Steps for measuring wall thickness gauge in PET bottles

Accurate thickness measurement is an important testing criterion. It is now possible to calculate the thickness of PET bottles in 3 easy steps through a Non-destructive test method on Wall thickness Gauge — Magna Mike 8600.

Magna Mike 8600 is a light-weighted testing instrument constructed to perform faster, precise, and multiple measurements for non-magnetic materials like plastics, glass, composites, aluminum, and titanium. It works on the principle of Hall Effect.

A Hall Effect sensor is an electronic semiconductor which reacts to magnetic field changes by changing voltage which appears on its surface when an electric current pass through it.

3 easy steps to measure the accurate value of wall thickness of PET bottles through wall thickness gauge.

Step 1 — A small ball will be placed on one side of the test sample which works as a target, attracts the magnetic field created by the probe magnet

Step 2 — Place the magnetic probe on the opposite side. The Hall Effect sensor is integrated into a small probe with a magnet for the creation of the magnetic field around the sensor.

Step 3 — The distance between the target and the probe is then calculated by recording the voltage changes across the Hall Effect sensor.

Presto offers the best quality of Bottle Wall Thickness Gauge testing instrument i.e. Magnamike 8600. The instrument works on the basis of Hall Effect Technology. To perform the test efficiently, it is necessary to access both sides of the container. The ball is placed inside the bottle, and the magnetic probe is placed outside. The sensor inside the probe measures the distance between the ball and the probe tip which helps to measure the thickness of the bottles accurately and efficiently.

With Presto, maintain the wall thickness of your market reputation by serving quality goods

How does the edge crush tester work?

Image
  Whenever you are shipping your products to the market, then it is important to make sure that the box will arrive in the best condition without damaging any contents inside it. But how can you make sure that your box can withstand the rigors of shipping? This can be done by performing quality tests with the help of appropriate  lab testing instruments .  One of the most important factors to be considered to test the quality of the material is its resistance against edge compression forces. Thus, to overcome the challenge of poor-quality boxes, we at Presto have designed a  digital edge crush tester   that is used to test the edge-wise compression strength of boxes and ensure that quality materials will be delivered to the customers. Presto is a leading manufacturer of  ECT/RCT/FCT/crush testers  and has designed this high-quality lab testing instrument as per industry standards. In this blog, we are going to discuss brief information about the edge crush tester and how this  lab test

What is the use of tensile strength tester in plastic industry?

Image
  The  tensile strength test  is a quality test that is used to test the maximum stress a material can withstand. This test is important because it can help determine the durability of the material. In the plastic product manufacturing industry, elongation and breaking stress play a vital role in determining the quality of plastics. Thus, to make it easy for you to conduct a  tensile test,  you can make use of Presto  tensile strength tester .  This is one of the high-quality  lab testing equipment  that is used to evaluate the tensile strength of materials to ensure durability and stability of these materials. This  lab testing equipment  is based on the constant rate of traverse principle and comes with an upper and lower jaw, to firmly hold the specimen with ease. Material has a low tensile strength, it may break easily under high stress. On the other hand, if a material has high tensile strength, it may be able to withstand more wear and tear. The results of the  tensile strength t
