How To Measure Wall Thickness Of PET Bottle In 3 Easy Steps?

PET bottles are widely used in the packaging industry. Polyethylene terephthalate or PET is a very commonly used plastic and is majorly preferred because of its recyclable properties. Magnamike is a high-quality product by Olympus. It is the best device to perform wall thickness gauge testing. The instrument provided a non-destructive method of testing the wall thickness of the PET bottles.

Few products which use PET bottles are as follows:

• Bottled water

• Ketchup

• Jars

• Juices and carbonated drinks

• Cosmetics

• Household products

Now a days, top companies worldwide use PET bottles for fulfilling their packaging needs. With time, it had become a priority to use high quality material in PET industry.

To test the quality of PET bottle there are multiple tests including Burst Pressure, Drop Testing, Moisture Analysis, Top Load test etc.

But the most important of all is the wall thickness test for PET Bottles which can be performed using the Wall Thickness Gauge .


3 Steps for measuring wall thickness gauge in PET bottles


Accurate thickness measurement is an important testing criterion. It is now possible to calculate the thickness of PET bottles in 3 easy steps through a Non-destructive test method on Wall thickness Gauge — Magna Mike 8600.

Magna Mike 8600 is a light-weighted testing instrument constructed to perform faster, precise, and multiple measurements for non-magnetic materials like plastics, glass, composites, aluminum, and titanium. It works on the principle of Hall Effect.

A Hall Effect sensor is an electronic semiconductor which reacts to magnetic field changes by changing voltage which appears on its surface when an electric current pass through it.


3 easy steps to measure the accurate value of wall thickness of PET bottles through wall thickness gauge.


Step 1 — A small ball will be placed on one side of the test sample which works as a target, attracts the magnetic field created by the probe magnet

Step 2 — Place the magnetic probe on the opposite side. The Hall Effect sensor is integrated into a small probe with a magnet for the creation of the magnetic field around the sensor.

Step 3 — The distance between the target and the probe is then calculated by recording the voltage changes across the Hall Effect sensor.

Presto offers the best quality of Bottle Wall Thickness Gauge testing instrument i.e. Magnamike 8600. The instrument works on the basis of Hall Effect Technology. To perform the test efficiently, it is necessary to access both sides of the container. The ball is placed inside the bottle, and the magnetic probe is placed outside. The sensor inside the probe measures the distance between the ball and the probe tip which helps to measure the thickness of the bottles accurately and efficiently.
