In case of dealing with very large measuring units
or if the results obtained are very unreliable, we
recommend carrying out average measurements on
at least 4 spots distributed over the whole surface of
the glass pane.
The analysis of glass with additional coatings (Solar
reflective films or splinter protection films) can lead
to incorrect results.
In the case of insulated glass units, measurements
should always be taken 5 cm away from the edge, as
the panes tend to “bend“ depending on the surface
and air pressure, which means that measurements
taken from the centre may be inaccurate.
When analysing resin laminated glass, where the
resin has the same refraction index as the glass, the
Glass Buddy will measure the total thickness.
In a very small number of cases, detailed analysis of
laminated safety glass is not possible. In this event,
the Glass Buddy displays an exclamation mark in
front of the individual result. In the graphic display
of the Glass
Buddy
and in the PC software, results
of this kind are indicated by two horizontal lines in
the bottom part of the respective pane. To achieve
better measuring results, we recommend a new ana-
lysis on the opposite side.
