MG1503 "MIG" Replacement Scales

MG1500 MIG Thickness Gauge

The “MIG” Laser Glass Thickness Gauge is a durable tool for measuring glass and air space thickness in sealed insulating glass units. Laser reflections off the glass surfaces appear on the gauge’s graduated scale. These reflections allow you to easily determine the thickness of the glass and the air space separating the pieces of glass in a sealed IG assembly. The measurements are taken from a single side of the IG unit, and no additional tools are necessary.

Description

Durable scales are interchangeable on the sliding assembly. The multiple scales are held in place by two black nylon thumb screws. Due to the scales’ thin size, the operator can carry numerous scales inside the carrying case and always be prepared for any glass application experienced in the field or factory.

The operator can easily measure glass thickness, air space, overall IG thickness, individual panes of glass in a laminated assembly, and triple-pane assemblies. The gauge also has been successfully tested for measuring the thickness of mirrors.

The MIG is powered by two standard AAA alkaline batteries (included). The black nylon carrying case supplied with the gauge provides a handy method for carriage. The zippered pocket is ideal for carrying additional scales. Scales are available in inches or millimeters.

Application

New and Improved Scales:

The MG1500 scales have been upgraded!

  • Scales are now yellow for improved measurement clarity
  • Printed on the front in inches and mm on the back so you can take more measurements with fewer scales
  • Includes a scale optimized for laminated glass and bright lighting conditions

DS1670 Dual Coating Detector

,
This NEW dual-purpose detector combines two instruments into one. Use the same device to identify the coated surface of the glass for either the ShowerGuard or DiamondGuard coatings available from Guardian Industries. Because the specialty coatings are not visible, it is impossible for manufacturers to accurately identify which surface of the glass has the coating without a ShowerGuard or DiamondGuard Detector. With the simple push of a button, processors can confirm they are orienting their glass correctly during their builds.

HS2050 HEAT-SHEET® Temperature Demonstration Card

,
The HEAT-SHEET® Temperature Demo Card vibrantly changes color when it encounters heat. To demonstrate the heat-blocking capabilities of your glass or film, use the HEAT-SHEET® Card in combination with a Heat Lamp. The visual demonstration greatly adds to the tangible performance data of many of our other sales tools. The demonstration shows a dynamic color change in front of an energy-inefficient window sample, while no color change occurs when placed in front of your energy-efficient window. The demonstration shows the customer that your window or film will reduce heat transfer that results from radiant energy, conduction, and convection.

SG2700 Strengthened Glass Detector

,
Confirm if your single or double-pane glass has been strengthened.   Strengthened glass can include Heat Strengthened Glass, Tempered Glass, and Safety Glass. It is also sometimes referred to as "Toughened Glass."  Test single or multiple panes - on double-pane glass, you can test both panes at the same time. This is especially helpful with installed windows when one side of the glass is difficult or impossible to get to. It is also much more efficient in the factory - testing on either side offers substantial time savings and is more straightforward than being required to test both sides. Identify the thickness of the first pane of glass.

SP1065 BTU/Watt Solar Power Meter

,
The SP1065 can now switch between two units of measure: BTU/hr*ft^2 and Watts/M². Switching between modes is easily accomplished by using the buttons on the new embossed style power switch that also provides a smooth front surface and a sleeker appearance. Whichever unit of measure is chosen by the user becomes the default mode for the meter. The change in power switch style is accompanied by an auto-power off circuit that will turn the meter off after a period of inactivity. This will help extend the life of the batteries in this portable device.

SS2450 Solar Spectrum Meter

,
Other meters on the market today cannot measure as much of the solar spectrum range as the SS2450 instrument.  These other meters represent performance based upon a smaller range, which results in errors.  The SS2450 uses patented optics that are capable of replicating almost the entire solar spectrum through the Near Infrared region and displays this performance with six performance metrics:
  • UV Transmission
  • Visible Light Transmission
  • Infrared Transmission (900 to 1000nm)
  • Infrared Transmission (780 to 1700nm+)
  • Overall Solar Transmission
  • Damage Weight Coefficient

TS2300 Digital Tin Side Detector

,
The digital Tin Side Detector offers a new technology for identifying the tin surface of float glass. This new detector boasts several advantages over traditional bulb-style detectors:
  • By placing the meter on both sides of the glass, the instrument will immediately determine which surface is the tin surface.
  • The user no longer has to interpret the reflection of a bulb-style lamp on the surface of the glass to make a subjective guess as to which surface is the tin side.
  • The TS2300 can be used in any lighting conditions.
  • More rugged, portable, and energy-efficient than previous products of its kind.
  • No need to frequently replace bulbs or batteries with this exciting new product.
  • Helpful to glass processors: laminating, specialty coating, and printing.
  • Great tool for use in production or the lab.
  • The perfect tool for identifying which side of the glass to print on.
