purchaser.
4.3.2 Before each measurement, it shall calibrate the zero point of the thickness
gauge, check the zero point again after the measurement of each specimen.
4.3.3 Slowly LOWER down the measurement head during measurement to
avoid deformation of the sample. During the test process, SELECT the strength
applied by the test head onto the sample surface between 0.7 N/cm2 ~ 2 N/cm2.

4.4 Data processing
The thickness uniformity of the sample is expressed by the difference between
the maximum thickness and the minimum thickness as well as the relative
thickness deviation.
4.4.1 The difference between the maximum value and the minimum value is
calculated in accordance with formula (1).

thickness, TAKE the average value of three points as the calculated thickness
d value.
5.3.2 FIX the sample in the conductivity measuring pool as shown in Figure 1,
USE a torque wrench to tighten the bolt at a torque of 3 N•m. Then PLACE the
conductivity measuring pool in a constant temperature and humidity
environment with a temperature of 25 °C ± 2 °C and a relative humidity of 50%
± 5%. At the frequency range of (1 ~ 2 × 106) Hz and a disturbance voltage of
10 mV, USE the electrochemical impedance tester to measure the impedance
spectrogram of the sample.
5.4 Data processing
In the measured impedance spectrogram, READ the impedance value (R) of
the sample from the intersection point of the high-frequency part of the spectral
line with the real axis, USE the formula (4) to calculate the proton conductivity
of the sample.
Where.
σ - The proton conductivity of the sample, in units of Siemens per centimeter
(S/cm);
α - Distance between two electrodes, in centimeters (cm);
R - The measured impedance of the sample, in the unit of ohm (Ω);

electrode, in centimeters (cm);
