[GB/T 18259-2009, Definition 2.1.1]. 3.2 Decorated wood-based panels Panels finished or surface-decorated with various decorative materials, with wood-based panels as the base material. 4 Test Methods 4.1 Measurement of Dimensions of Specimens 4.1.1 Apparatus 4.1.1.1 Micrometer, or similar measuring tool, 6.0 mm~20.0 mm in measuring head diameter, 0.01 mm in division value, and allowing measuring range to be selected upon the specimen thickness. 4.1.1.2 Vernier caliper: 0.1 mm in division value and allowing measuring range to be selected upon the specimen length. 4.1.2 Method 4.1.2.1 Measuring point The number of and positions of measuring points are as specified in the standards of relevant test methods. 4.1.2.2 Thickness measurement For thickness measurement, get the measuring surface of micrometer slowly stuck on and closely contact the specimen (the pressure applied is about 0.02 MPa~0.05 MPa). The diameter of the measuring head shall be selected according to the panel type; in principle, panels of low density and rough surface shall be measured with measuring head in large diameter. 4.1.2.3 Measurement of length and width For length and width measurement, the vernier caliper shall be slowly clipped on the specimen, and the included angle between the caliper and the specimen surface shall be about 45°, see Figure 1.
