How to Measure Aluminum Sheet Thickness

The aluminum sheet thickness has certain effect on the aluminum sheet’s performance in the applications. Enough aluminum thickness is very necessary. There are popular choices like quarter inch aluminum plate, half inch aluminum plate, 3mm aluminum plate. How to measure the aluminum plate thickness?

Common measurement methods include hand feel measurement, caliper measurement, optical measurement, etc. Among them, the optical measurement method is a high-precision measurement method that can meet the measurement needs of high-precision aluminum plates.

The thickness of the aluminum plate is affected by many factors, such as the selection of raw materials, the control of the production process, and the selection of processing methods. Among them, the selection of raw materials is one of the most important factors affecting the thickness of the aluminum plate. Therefore, aluminum sheet manufacturers need to choose high-quality raw materials to ensure the good quality of aluminum sheets.

Generally speaking, the greater the thickness of the aluminum plate, the higher the strength it has. However, if the thickness is too large, it will affect the processing performance of the aluminum plate.

Generally, we recommend that you choose a special external micrometer for measuring the thickness of the aluminum plate. It is not recommended to use a caliper for measurement. Users can choose to purchase a digital external micrometer to measure the aluminum plate thickness. The measurement accuracy can be controlled within 0.02mm.

At the same time, there are also skills in measuring the thickness of the aluminum plate. You can’t just measure one point. You have to choose several different positions to measure the thickness of the aluminum plate. If you need a high-precision aluminum plate, Haomei Aluminum can make it. Our aluminum sheet thickness accuracy can be controlled within 0.02mm.

What should be paid attention to when measuring the thickness of aluminum plate? First of all, the measurement needs to reset the micrometer to zero. If it is a film-coated aluminum plate, the protective film needs to be removed. In this way, we can measure the thickness of the aluminum plate very well.
