How to Measure Wall Thickness of glass bottles?

The glass bottle is used in a variety of industries for different purposes. In the beverage industry, it is commonly used to store cold drinks or as part of a dispenser system. In the food industry, it is used to package food items or to store liquids. Besides this, it can be used in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries, to store items effectively.

The glass bottle is used in a variety of industries for different purposes. In the beverage industry, it is commonly used to store cold drinks or as part of a dispenser system. In the food industry, it is used to package food items or to store liquids. Besides this, it can be used in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries, to store items effectively. With the wide use of these products in the bottle industry, it is important for the manufacturers to test their bottles effectively. Wall thickness is one of the major factors that one needs to determine to make sure that quality products will be delivered to the customers with ease. So, if you are working in the bottle testing industry, then you must use a wall thickness gauge. This high-quality testing instrument designed by Olympus will accurately measure the wall thickness of several products including PET bottles, glass bottles, water tanks, containers, foam products, and much more. This lab testing instrument will work on the Hall Effect and thus makes it easy for the users to conduct wall thickness tests for glass bottles. The Presto is an authorized dealer of this lab testing instrument.

Here in this blog, we are going to provide you with information about how you can easily measure the wall thickness of glass bottles. Let us get started with the use of glass bottles in different industries.

Use of glass bottles in different industries

The use of glass bottles in different industries is abundant. Glass bottles are used in the food and beverage industry, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and other industrial sectors. Glass bottles are strong and durable, making them ideal for these applications. They are also environmentally friendly, as they do not produce waste. The wall thickness of these bottles is one of the important factors that one must consider, to ensure quality products are delivered to the customers.

Testing the wall thickness of glass bottles is important to ensure a sturdy product. A thicker wall means a stronger bottle, which can hold up to more pressure and keep your cold drink colder for longer. A thinner wall could lead to breaking or even leakage. Therefore, if you are working in the bottle manufacturing industry, then you must make use of a wall thickness gauge to assess the wall thickness of bottles with ease.

By using Magnamike 8600 wall thickness gaugethe manufacturers can easily ensure that the bottles are safe to use and even handle products with ease.

How Magnamike 8600 will help to test the wall thickness of materials?

The Magnamike 8600 wall thickness testing instrument is one of the widely used lab testing equipment that works on a simple magnetic field to make it easy for you to take reliable and repeatable measurements. This testing instrument is easy to use and the measurements will be made when the magnetic probe will be held or scanned on one side of the material to be tested. The measurement will easily be displayed as an easy-to-read digital thickness reading.

The operation of Magnamike will be simple as the probe tip and target ball will easily measure the wall thickness of the material. You can even test the wall thickness of plastic products with the help of this lab testing instrument.  

When you make use of this testing instrument, then you need to set up the measurement screen by pressing the SETUP button. After that, you can easily highlight the measurement. Select the target in the measurement menu and then press enter.

In the measurement, the setup screen selects the target disks or wires and notes down the targets. After that, highlight the wear tip select, and choose a standard method. Press MEAS to return the measurement screen. In this way, you can operate this testing machine and measure the wall thickness of materials with ease.
