PET bottles are highly useful in storing and shipping products effectively. Thus testing the quality of these PET bottles is very important to assure that the right products will be delivered to the customers. When you measure the wall thickness of PET bottles, then you will be able to determine whether the PET bottles are made uniformly or not. Thus, to easily measure the uniformity of PET bottles, you can easily make the use of Magnamike 8600. This is one of the amazing lab testing equipment that is highly useful in performing destructive testing on PET bottles. It will easily measure the wall thickness of non-ferrous materials like glass, preforms, plastics, and water tanks.

This testing instrument works on the principle of the Hall Effect and measures the thickness of PET bottles with ease. It comes with a magnetic probe and provides repeatable measurements on the specimen. Here in this blog, we are going to discuss brief information about the Magnamike 8600 wall thickness gauge and how it is helpful in measuring the wall thickness of PET bottles with ease. So, let us get started!

What is Magnamike 8600 wall thickness gauge and for what purpose it can be used?

The Magnamike portable wall thickness gauge is one of the amazing lab testing instruments that is used to measure the wall thickness of materials with ease. It makes the use of a simple magnetic field method to make simple and repeatable measurements on non-ferrous materials with ease.

The wall thickness gauge is very simple to operate and perform repeatable measurements when a magnetic probe will be held or scanned on one side of the material. The probe’s Hall Effect will measure the distance between the probe tip and the target ball. The wall thickness measurement will be displayed on easy-to-read digital thickness reading. This testing instrument is widely used in different industries to accurately test the quality of bottles.

You can read brief information about the application of wall thickness gauge. Now, let us discuss the features and technical specifications of this lab testing equipment.
