General Description

During the production of float glass, one side of the molten glass comes into contact with a bath of molten tin. Traces of tin or tin oxide metal are deposited on the surface of glass as it is removed from the molten tin bath. This surface of the glass is identified as the "TIN SIDE" surface of the glass. The opposite side of the glass is denoted as the "AIR SIDE." The presence of the tin is invisible to the human eye. Glass processors find it beneficial to know which surface of the glass is the tin side surface since the tin side of the glass results in a smoother surface (among other reasons).

The TS2300 Digital Tin Side Detector allows the user to easily identify the tin side by testing both sides of the glass. The TS2300 is the first meter of its kind that does not require you to use a lamp to fluorescence the tin side. This makes for a much more definitive instrument, and it is not subjective in its results. You do not have to be in a dark environment with the TS2300, like is customary with the tin side lamps. This instrument can be used in any daylight conditions. You also do not have to worry about replacing bulbs, resulting in a more cost-effective product in the long run. Overall, the Digital TS2300 will provide quicker measurements and less down-time resulting in a more effective product.
