Re: Proper Thickness gauge for Foam/Felt and solf material
Hello Chita and welcome to the Cove
The best way to deal with soft materials measurement is non-contact which in many cases comes down to optical measurement. Sometimes you can use profile projectors, but those are not always appropriate or practical. Other than that optical measurement equipment is usually quite expensive.
In general the ideal solution depends on your requirements for accuracy and precision (measurement repeatability). If your budget is limited and your requirements are not high, perhaps a more crude contact solution would do. I'm not from your subject field but I would imagine that many manufacturers have a similar need and so a simple, affordable solution already exists.
Sorry I can't be of more help.
