MetriTec™ Glass Thickness Meter
Product Detail
ACS Material's Laser Glass Thickness Gauge is a durable and reliable instrument designed for measuring both glass thickness and air gap in insulated glass units (IGUs). By utilizing laser reflections from the glass surfaces, the gauge projects these reflections onto a graduated scale, enabling quick and precise thickness determination. It allows users to measure the glass and the air space within a sealed IG unit from a single side, eliminating the need for additional tools. This user-friendly device simplifies the process, making it an essential tool for professionals.
MetriTec™ Glass Thickness Meter M200 glass thickness meter can be used for thickness measurement of single-layer glass, insulating glass and cylindrical glass bottles. It is especially suitable for measurement occasions where ordinary scales or calipers cannot or are not easy to operate, such as measuring the wall thickness of glass bottles and the thickness of laminated glass windows. For the measurement of the insulating glass thickness, the thickness of each glass layer and the intermediate air layer can be measured simultaneously. The glass thickness meter is suitable for the glass thickness measurement in quality inspection, supervision, teaching, production, sales, engineering construction and other occasions.
MetriTec™ Glass Thickness Meter M201 digital glass thickness meter uses the optical reflection principle to measure the glass thickness on one side of the glass. It is especially suitable for the measurement where general measurement tools such as scales or vernier calipers that cannot or are not easy to operate. Such as the thickness measurement of laminated glass and hollow glass. For the measurement of laminated glass, the thickness of multilayer glass and intermediate air layer can also be measured at the same time. The instrument uses CCD detection, liquid crystal display. It also has simple operation, fast and reliable measurement.
FAQ:
What is the use of glass thickness gauge?
Glass thickness meter is mainly used to measure the thickness of glass and the thickness of the air layer in the middle. ACS Material handheld glass thickness gauges using the principle of laser reflection, the glass thickness and the thickness of the air layer can be measured by placing it on one side of the glass. It is especially suitable for places where it is difficult to measure with tools such as vernier calipers, such as measuring installed door and window glass, curtain wall glass, etc.
Glass thickness measurement is essential for ensuring safety, quality control, and compliance across industries. In architecture and automotive manufacturing, precise glass thickness guarantees structural integrity, impact resistance, and adherence to safety standards. It plays a crucial role in manufacturing precision, maintaining consistency in products like windows, displays, and optical lenses, reducing defects, and improving efficiency. For multi-layer and coated glass, accurate measurement ensures proper lamination and coating thickness, critical for construction, aerospace, and security applications. Additionally, in energy-efficient glazing, correct glass and air gap thickness directly impact insulation performance, reducing heat loss and improving sustainability.

What factors affect the measurement accuracy?
● Surface cleanliness - dust, coating or fingerprints will interfere with the reading.
● Lighting environment - too strong external light may cause the instrument to fail to recognize the glass. Try to avoid testing the back of the instrument facing the sun.
● Glass composition - laminated glass and coated glass may require advanced instruments to obtain accurate readings.
Can I Measure Glass Thickness Without Removing It?
Yes! Laser glass thickness gauges and some ultrasonic models allow for non-destructive measurement from one side of the glass, making them ideal for installed windows, automotive windshields, and safety glass.
How Accurate Are Glass Thickness Gauges?
M201 digital glass thickness tester has ±0.1mm accuracy, and the M200 has ±0.5mm accuracy.
