Why Choose Qualitest for Your Thickness Measurement Needs
Qualitest is a globally recognized supplier of advanced testing and analytical instruments, serving customers worldwide with one of the most comprehensive Film and Paper Thickness Gauge portfolios available.
Seven-Product Portfolio — One Trusted Source
From the versatile multi-material QualiTG™ Series, through high-precision QT-FTH digital gauges, plant-floor Model 543 spot-checkers, broad-material CX-Series testers, the specialized QT-VCTT vacuum-coating tester, the X-ray-based On-Line Film Thickness Measurement System, and the flagship full-featured automatic MX-1100e — Qualitest offers the broadest coordinated portfolio in the industry, matching every laboratory size, throughput, accuracy requirement, and material type. A single trusted supplier simplifies procurement, training, calibration, and standardization across your entire thickness-measurement workflow.
Sub-Micron Precision (±0.1 µm)
The QT-FTH delivers high-precision digital thickness measurement with ±0.1 µm accuracy across the 0–1.5 mm range — the analytical sensitivity required for premium packaging QC, sustainable-packaging R&D, and demanding material-characterization programs. Combined with seamless PC connectivity for automated control and data logging, the QT-FTH transforms thickness testing from manual labor into a fully digitized analytical workflow.
Full International Standards Compliance
Every Qualitest thickness gauge is engineered to meet the leading global standards — ASTM D6988 (plastic film thickness), ASTM D645 (paper caliper), ASTM D3767 (rubber), ASTM D1777 (textile/coated fabric), ISO 4593 (films/foils), ISO 23529 (rubber), ISO 5084 (textiles), DIN EN ISO 2589 (leather), GB 6672, and TAPPI standards — ensuring every test result is universally accepted, audit-ready, and defensible in customer certifications and regulatory submissions.
Online Real-Time Process Control
Qualitest's X-ray-based On-Line Film Thickness Measurement System delivers non-contact, non-destructive, real-time thickness data directly from the production line — improving final product quality through closed-loop process feedback and dramatically reducing material waste, off-spec production runs, and customer rejection rates. No production downtime, no destructive sampling, no waiting hours for lab results — just continuous web-thickness data, every second of every shift.
Configurable Foot Diameter & Applied Pressure
The QualiTG™ Series allows configurable foot diameter and applied pressure across models — a critical differentiator when testing diverse materials whose pharmacopeial and industrial standards specify different contact conditions. ISO 5084 calls for a specific foot diameter and pressure for textiles, ASTM D3767 for rubber, ISO 4593 for films — and the QualiTG Series adapts to each, eliminating the need for separate dedicated instruments.
Dedicated Vacuum-Coating Capability
The QT-VCTT is one of the few purpose-built thickness testers for vacuum-coated aluminum film and metallized substrates — addressing the unique measurement challenges of thin metallic layers on flexible polymer carriers used in snack packaging, capacitor manufacturing, holographic security films, and high-barrier flexible packaging.
Cost-Effective Value & Global Support
Qualitest delivers premium thickness-measurement performance at a transparent, competitive price point — backed by global service, training, calibration support, and stocked accessories worldwide. The MX-1100e in particular merges affordability with advanced features in a single revolutionary platform, while every Qualitest gauge benefits from worldwide presence ensuring expert installation, operator training, and ongoing service are always within reach.
