5. FACTORS TO CONSIDER WHEN MEASURING
Factors affecting the optics:
▶
Coloured glass
▶
Tinted glass (minimal effect)
▶
Strong background light measurement
(against the sun or other source)
▶
Dirt on the glass (minimal effect)
▶
Dirt on the front optical fibre
▶
Mistreated front optical fibre or electrode
Factors making it easier for the spark to
"jump":
▶
High argon fills
▶
Thin glass (6mm or less)
▶
Thin air space (20mm or less)
▶
Metallic or other conductor on surface 3, such
as low-e coating
▶
Metallic spacer bar

Factors affecting the spark:
▶
Thick glass (over 6 mm)
▶
Plastic films on glass 1 (laminated glass,
coatings, etc.)
▶
Metallic films on glass 1
▶
Metallic components in glass 1
▶
Low Argon fill (less than 90%)
▶
Wide spacer (over 15mm)
▶
Electrode is not in contact with the glass
surface
▶
Sparklike Handheld is not evenly pressed
against the glass
▶
Non-metallic spacers
Correct conditions:
▶
Stable dark background light
▶
The device NOT moved during measurement
