MI-1000 Micrometer

Micrometer

Ideal for any number of industries, the ChemInstruments Micrometer accurately measures the thickness of a variety of substrates. The standard unit meets or exceeds numerous test methods, including ASTM D645, D374, D3652, PSTC 133 and TLMI T-411. It can measure paper, tissue, corrugated paperboard, carton board, fiberboard, felt, film, foil, plastic and rubber.

This versatile Micrometer unit features three modes of operation: single, continuous and batch. In the single test mode, the presser foot cycles with each press of the start button. In the continuous mode, the presser foot cycles continuously. In the batch mode, the micrometer can be set to run a series of measurements. The number of cycles can be set from one to 50 with a pause between each measurement. In all modes, the presser foot travels and pauses per ASTM D645 method.

Model number: MI-1000

Data Acquisition System

The ChemInstruments electronic data acquisition system is a state-of-the-art microprocessor controlled measurement package that combines accuracy with ease of use. This system simultaneously controls test motion, reads the force of a test from a LVDT, digitally displays it and also stores that data in its memory.

  • Records 400 data points per second during a test interval
  • Displays the measured result immediately upon completion of a test
  • Stores data from up to 20 tests, allowing for quick review of previously recorded values
  • Export data to a Mitutoyo SPC printer
  • Displays test values in mils or millimeters
  • Mitutoyo DP-1HS printer
  • 10-piece gauge block set (NIST traceable)
  • Custom sized presser foot weights
  • Various sized specimen tape cutters
  • Input voltage - 240 VAC (50/60hz)
  • PSTC and TLMI testing manuals and videos
Height: 12" (30 cm)
Width: 8" (20 cm)
Depth: 10" (25 cm)
Weight: 17 lbs (8 Kg)
