INTRODUCTION Models MTG and MTG-DX benchtop contact thickness gauges accurately and conveniently perform geometric dimensional testing (thickness measurement) on rubber, fabrics, foams, tapes/films and a wide assortment of other soft materials. They employs specified presser foot (feeler) of a specific diameter/area, combined with a predetermined mass (weight) as noted in the ASTM D 3767 standard.
NPACKING AND Your MTG system is packaged completely assembled and tested at our plant to en- sure a quality product. However, there are some basic steps that must be performed before using your MTG for the first time. 1. Carefully unpack the MTG or MTG-DX. Take special care when lifting to support the unit from the granite base when unpacking and whenever moving the unit.

PERATING ROCEDURES The MTG system can be used to check the thickness of rubber and rubber type materials. Note: The MTG System is supplied with a 16mm diameter presser foot and 212 gram mass. This configuration is commonly used for measurement of all rubber materials with a hardness of 35 IRHD or below Optional presser feet and mass combinations are available to check a wide assortment of other material such as: foams, tapes, films, textiles, felts,...
6.1 Checking Thick Materials For checking materials over 1 inch in thickness, use precision ground gage blocks in conjunction with the MTG. Example: If you are checking a 2 inch thick part you can use a 1 inch gage block positioned under the sample to obtain the thickness values.
CCESSORIES The MTG / MTG-DX can be used to check the thickness of rubber and rubber type materials. Use the optional presser feet and mass combinations to check a wide assortment of other materials, such as foams, tapes, films, textiles, felts, sheetmetal, foils, fabrics, cloth, leather, fiberboard, plywood, paper, etc.
