ISO 3034

Test Materials: ISO 3034 specifies the use of paper and board samples, which must be prepared to standardized dimensions to ensure consistent measurements. Samples should be representative of the batch being tested and free from defects or anomalies that could affect the results.

Test Process: The testing process involves placing the sample between a calibrated thickness gauge’s sensing elements. A predetermined pressure is applied to ensure accurate contact. Multiple measurements are taken at various points across the sample to account for any variations in thickness, following the guidelines set out in the standard.

Test Result Interpretation: Results from ISO 3034 are expressed as the average thickness of the sample in millimeters. The data obtained is crucial for assessing the material’s quality and consistency. Comparing these results to specified tolerances helps determine the material’s suitability for intended applications and identifies any manufacturing issues that may need addressing.
