Is Destructive Wall Thickness Measurement Helpful or Not?

As per the current market research, the consumers and all the concerned authorities in the bottle packaging industry are demanding more lightweight yet highly sustainable bottles. To achieve their demands the makers are continuously trying to make thinner bottles and use less material. However, they have to ensure high-quality control also and minimise wastage at the same time. These multiple goals are giving the makers a high competition. With all this stress, we bring you an answer to what kind of wall thickness measurement tool can help you the best. Is destructive good or there is any other method to explore? Let us find out the best bottle thickness gauge.

Types of Destructive Wall thickness Methods and Are they helpful?
There are commonly used three types of destructive methods. One of them might be familiar to you so we are covering all of them here.

• Cutting a section of the bottle and then measuring its thickness with a caliper or micrometer
• A small hole is made through the wall of the bottle, and a pin gauge is inserted to measure the distance between the hole and the bottle wall
• The bottle is broken, and the pieces are analyzed to measure the wall thickness

How helpful these methods are?
The methods might be time taking and you might have made a high amount of effort to perform but none of them is 100% precise. Let us look into their disadvantages:

• These methods require cutting out the bottle after which the bottle becomes useless and is thrown away, increasing the waste also.
• With every measurement and so many bottles thrown, you are also throwing away the money you paid to get the material. Going into a loss.
• Such types of destructive test methods are only limited to a level of the wall space covered and can't be done at every stage of manufacturing. Hence, cant ensure precision in the production

Non-Destructive Bottle Thickness Gauge - Accuracy, Precision without Breaking a Bottle
Non-destructive methods for measuring wall thickness, such as Hall Effect sensor-based Wall Thickness Guage, the latest technology leading the bottle quality control, come with many advantages to your business:

• The bottle that is tested remains intact and can be used after measurement.
• The measurement can be done easily using the bottle thickness gauge at any level of production and at any point across the bottle, leading to a more accurate idea of material distribution in the entire bottle
• It can be easily used in production lines, due to its handy nature allowing the operator to perform continuous monitoring of wall thickness
• Reducing waste of bottles and saving your money along with improved quality control
