Don’t risk lives: Make sure your glass is safety glass
Tempered
glass is considered safety glass because when it breaks, it breaks into
very tiny pieces. These tiny pieces, cullet’s, can scratch people, but they
can’t kill people like is the case with larger glass pieces. The major
thing for a glass processor in India
who sells Tempered glass is to make sure that all goods that go out are
actually safety glasses.
Here’s a
list of ways to make sure you don’t end up recalling you glasses.
1. Evaluate the compressive stress
There are also
measurement systems that allow you to test the potency of the glass without
breaking it. These systems tell you the surface compression pressure of the
glass. With thicknesses of 3-19 mm, this correlates very well with the cullet
count. Also, the standards usually state the least surface compression.
2. Standardize measurement systems
Remember to calibrate
all your capacity systems both in the tempering line and the glass strength
measurement systems.
3. Use your tempering line reports
Some tempering lines give automatic
reports that tell you the glass temperature after heat process and the
actual stress used to quench/temper the glass. If your measurement technology
performs correctly, it will indicate if the glass is tough enough.
4. Do the Safety Glass test
Tempered glass shall
satisfy the relevant resistance to shock test, fragmentation test, warp test and
boil test, light stability test, and fracture test and adhesion test in
accordance with IS: 2553.
