Meaning and use
Thickness is an important property of tape, and this size is important for some end uses. This test method can be used for quality control and acceptance testing for compliance with specifications.

ASTM D3652/D3652M-2020 “Standard Test Method for Thickness of Pressure Sensitive Tape”

Step 1: Scope
1.1 This test method covers the determination of the thickness of pressure-sensitive tape under standard conditions.

1.2 This test method is intended to replace AFERA 40062 and PSTC 33 2

1.3 Values expressed in SI units or inch-pound units shall be treated as standards separately. The values specified in each system may not be exactly the same; Therefore, each system should be used independently. Combining values from two systems may result in non-compliance.

1.4 This standard is not intended to address all safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of users of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health and environmental specifications and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.

1.5 This international standard is based on internationally recognized standardization principles established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guidelines and Recommendations issued by the WTO Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
