Our latest application note features NANOVEA's 3D Non-Contact line sensor profilometer and focusses on how the device can be used to measure the surface roughness of paper. Surface roughness plays a crucial role in paper as it directly impacts print quality. Both macroscale features, such as poor fibre dispersion, and microscale features, like particle size distribution, contribute to paper’s surface properties. Traditionally, the Parker Print-Surf method is used to measure paper roughness. It involves applying varying pressures to the paper with a 51µm wide ring, and the airflow between the ring and paper surface is measured to determine roughness. However, a limitation of this method is its inability to accurately capture microscale features, which can affect print quality. Nanovea’s 3D Non-Contact line sensor profilometer offers a solution by detecting both macro and microscale features, thanks to its high-resolution, fast scanning capabilities. Large surface areas can be analysed, and roughness is calculated using the arithmetic mean height (Sa) from the height data collected. Since paper is prone to deformation due to its thinness, the non-contact nature of the sensor ensures that the height measurements remain unaffected by any surface deformation. The application note expertly showcases the ability of the Nanovea high speed systems to collect high resolution data from large samples. Further information and the full application note is available on our website.

In addition to budget and expertise constraints, time pressures are another reason many researchers choose to outsource their lab testing to Mi-Net. Many of our clients need accurate test results to be generated quickly and this is not always possible given the time constraints facing researchers. To get the necessary equipment in house often requires time consuming CAPEX or grant applications which are followed by long winded tender processes and long lead times. Even if the necessary equipment is available in house, it can be heavily used, sometimes poorly maintained, and difficult to get time on. Running tests in house also means that researchers need to analyse the data personally. This can be very time consuming and take up valuable resources, especially if the researcher does not have experience using a particular measurement technique. Outsourcing means that the need to personally run tests and carry out analysis is taken away from the researcher, freeing them up to focus on other tasks. In many cases, contract lab testing offers a faster alternative, especially if more than one measurement technique is required, and this is why Mi-Net’s Lab Services delivered together with our valued partners are so popular with many of our clients. We are able to provide fast and accurate results, taking this pressure off your research team. We can provide 𝐒𝐮𝐫𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥, 𝐒𝐮𝐫𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐲, 𝐌𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐖𝐞𝐚𝐫 and 𝐇𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐀𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐋𝐚𝐛 𝐓𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐬.
