Glass Thickness Range 

• Minimum Glass Thickness Allowed:  

0.080 inch

 or 

2.0mm

• Minimum Air Space Allowed:  

0.187 inch or 4.7mm

 

• Glass Thickness Allowed for Low-E readings:  

up to 0.5 inch

 or 

12.7mm

Triple Pane Windows

The GC3200 will display the thickness of each pane of glass, the thickness of each air space, and the 
total IG thickness.  Depending on the thickness of the glass, the maximum allowable range for the total 
IG thickness changes according to the data below:

Double Pane Windows

The GC3200 will display the thickness of each pane of glass, the thickness of each air 
space, and the total IG thickness.  Depending on the thickness of the glass, the 
maximum thickness range for the total IG thickness changes according to the data 
below.  **Note** these same dimensions apply when measuring a double pane window 
with suspended film.

Single Pane Monolithic Glass

The GC3200 will display the thickness 
of single pane monolithic glass up to 

2.75 inches 

or 

70mm

 thick.
