In industries such as pharmaceuticals, food, and cosmetics, the uniformity of wall and bottom thickness in packaging bottles directly impacts the product's physical strength and barrier properties. Excessively thin walls can lead to breakage during transport, while overly thick walls increase material costs; uneven bottom thickness makes the container prone to stress concentration after filling. Consequently, accurately measuring these thickness parameters is a fundamental task for manufacturers and quality inspection agencies alike.
The CHY-B2 Wall Thickness Tester from Link Testing is a specialized testing instrument designed precisely to meet this need. It is suitable for measuring the wall and bottom thickness of various containers—including ampoules, vials, oral liquid bottles, infusion bottles, beer bottles, and plastic bottles—and finds practical application in pharmaceutical packaging material testing, food packaging quality control, third-party inspection services, and materials research at academic and scientific institutions.
In terms of operation, the instrument features an industrial-grade, high-definition color touchscreen; its menu-driven interface makes selecting test modes and viewing data intuitive. Users can easily distinguish between "wall thickness" and "bottom thickness" testing modes without complex training, and specific measurement parameters can be recalled for different sample types.
Regarding data management, the instrument features built-in storage and query functions, supporting data traceability. Upon test completion, the system automatically calculates maximum, minimum, and deviation values. For batch quality analysis, this design minimizes errors associated with manual calculation and enables quality personnel to quickly assess production line stability.
One of the primary challenges in actual testing is the diversity of sample specifications; ampoules and infusion bottles differ significantly in diameter and height. The instrument accommodates sample diameters ranging from 10 mm to 230 mm and heights from 10 mm to 380 mm. It features an adjustable testing space and comes with measuring rods of various specifications. This allows users to test everything from small oral liquid vials to large infusion bottles without the need for additional specialized fixtures.
In terms of measurement precision, the standard configuration offers a measurement range of 0–12.7 mm with a resolution of 0.001 mm, suitable for the wall thickness of most glass and plastic bottles. A 0–25 mm range option is also available for thick-walled containers, allowing users to select the configuration that best matches their product's actual wall thickness.
Regarding standards, the instrument complies with multiple pharmaceutical and light industry standards—such as YBB00332002-2015, YBB00332003-2015, and GB12415-90—thereby meeting requirements for standardized testing methods during laboratory accreditation and external audits.
The instrument is equipped with a micro-printer, enabling direct hard-copy output of test results for on-site sign-off and the archiving of raw data. A multi-level user permission system requires password-protected login, with distinct access rights assigned to operators, administrators, and maintenance personnel, helping to ensure compliance with laboratory data integrity regulations.
With dimensions of 420 mm × 280 mm × 655 mm and a net weight of approximately 15 kg, the unit fits easily onto standard laboratory table top. It operates on a standard AC 220 V, 50 Hz power supply.
For manufacturers and users of bottle packaging, measuring wall and bottom thickness is not merely a step in quality control; it is a crucial factor in ensuring product reliability during transportation, storage, and use. The design of the CHY-B2 focuses on operational convenience, data accuracy, and sample adaptability in practical testing scenarios, providing professionals in the field of packaging material testing with a quantifiable measurement tool.
