Glass is very common in industry and life, such as glass handicrafts, curtain wall glass in buildings, door and window glass, automotive glass windows and so on. The thickness of the curtain wall glass in the building is usually required. In order to ensure the safety factor of the glass or the performance of thermal insulation and sound insulation, the thickness of the glass will be strictly controlled. The Insulating Glass Thickness Gauge can be used to check whether the glass thickness is up to standard.

1. What kind of glass should be used to measure the thickness of insulating glass?

Common glass includes single-layer glass, three-layer two-chamber glass, insulating glass, float glass, laminated glass and frosted glass. Insulating glass and triple-glass double-chamber glass are commonly used in buildings. This kind of insulating glass is made of two or three pieces of glass, which are bonded with high-strength, high-air tightness composite glue and aluminum alloy frame containing desiccant to make high-efficiency sound insulation and heat insulation glass. Only when the thickness of the glass meets the qualified requirements, can the insulating glass be heat-insulated, sound-insulated, fire-proof and anti-theft.

2. Use an insulating glass thickness gauge to measure glass thickness

The glass thickness gauge made by the principle of optical reflection can measure the thickness of one side of the glass. The big difference from the traditional thickness gauge is that it can measure the occasions that the scale cannot or is not easy to measure.

Principle of optical reflection:

Due to the difference in refractive index between glass and air, when light hits the glass surface, it will be refracted and then reflected on the other side of the glass. The reflected light returns to the side where the light entered. The instrument receives the refracted light and multiplies it by the corresponding coefficient to get the thickness of the glass.

Glass thickness gauges can be used to measure glass that cannot be measured by these common tools or where it cannot be used. Glass thickness gauges made by the principle of optical reflection can be divided into glass thickness gauges with scale readings and digital glass thickness gauges. Generally, you choose according to your own needs.
