is the ASTM-recommended (C1048) instrument for measuring surface stress of heat-strengthened or tempered glass and other international standards (including EN-12150).
come in a variety of configurations and comply with worldwide polarimetry standards and test methods, including ASTM D4093, ASTM C148, and ASTM F218.
is a specific PS-100 package for the inspection of glass containers in accordance with ASTM C148. The polarimeter comes with a set of 5 standardized strain disks for reference standards to colors emitted by containers.
SCA-1500T Float Glass Stress Scanners
are found in float glass factories around the world, providing customers with stress and temperature measurements across their entire float glass ribbon.
VRP-100 Reflection Polarimeter
Measure tensile or compressive stresses in the “black band” region of windshields or sunroofs.
PES-100 Automated Edge-Stress
Measurement System
Automatically measures, graphs, and stores edge stress data objectively and accurately.
Polarimeter for quantitatively measuring edge stress in architectural glass (to verify temper quality).
is a specific PS-100 package for the inspection of laboratory glass containers in accordance with ASTM E671. The polarimeter comes with a full wave tint plate, a mono-chromatic filter, and a calibration gauge.
