Product Overview
The KR‑516 digital leather thickness gauge is compact portable measuring instrument built in compliance with ISO 2589 leather‑thickness‑determination standardISO. Under standardized contact pressure, it captures point‑to‑point thickness values for genuine leather, split hides, artificial leather, PU composite and PVC sheet materials.
Light‑weight and space‑saving in construction, the unit delivers 0.01 mm resolution for on‑site sampling inspections at tanneries, shoe‑making plants, leather‑goods workshops and material‑testing laboratories. Operators can rapidly complete multi‑point thickness spot‑checks for raw‑material incoming QC, production‑process monitoring and finished‑goods validation.
Core Product Competitive Advantages
- High‑precision digital read‑out measurement system
Digital sensor assembly delivers 0.01 mm display resolution within 0‑10 mm measuring range. It effectively reduces visual‑reading deviation common with analog dial gauges, offering clear and intuitive numerical output for daily QC‑testing workflows.
- Deep‑throat structural design for flexible sampling
45 mm throat‑depth enables measuring positions far from specimen edges. Users can take test points in central zones of irregular‑shape leather hides without cutting small‑size test coupons.
- Compact portable robust housing
Small‑form‑factor body is lightweight at approx. 3.5 kg. It can sit stationary on lab benches or be carried for workshop spot‑check tasks. Solid mechanical components guarantee long‑term stability under frequent on‑factory use.
- Simple‑to‑operate workflow with low‑maintenance requirement
No complex parameter configuration is needed. Simply place sample between measuring anvils to get instant readings. Powered by SR44 button‑cell batteries; battery replacement procedure is straightforward for field‑use scenarios.
- Wide material compatibility for leather‑industry needs
Suitable for full‑grain leather, second‑layer leather, synthetic PU / PVC leather and flexible polymer sheets. Covers thickness‑inspection requirements for shoe‑uppers, bags, upholstery‑leather and related leather‑derived components.

Standard Complete Test Operating Workflow
- Pre‑Test Preparation
Place gauge on stable flat work‑surface. Verify zero‑point reading with no specimen inserted. Prepare leather / synthetic‑material samples, condition specimens as required by standard if formal test‑report is needed.
- Specimen Positioning
Lay test‑sample flat between upper presser foot and lower measuring anvil. Select representative measuring positions; deep‑throat design supports testing away from sample borders. Avoid wrinkles or uneven folds under the measuring head.
- Perform Thickness Measurement
Lower presser foot gently onto specimen surface. Wait for stable reading and record displayed thickness‑value. Take multiple replicate points across one piece of leather, compute average value to account for natural thickness variation of hides.
- Batch‑sample Sequential Testing
Repeat positioning‑and‑reading steps for remaining batch‑specimens. Document measured values for incoming‑inspection records or QC‑reports.
- Post‑Test Tidying
Remove test‑piece, keep measuring anvils clean and free of leather dust and debris. Turn‑off display when not in use to conserve battery power. Check zero‑point status periodically to sustain measuring accuracy.
