End-user specifications and design of product has a significant
influence on the thermal shock resistance and mechanical
properties that ultimately effect the glass performance. |
| |
| Different glasses all have their own specific properties and applications. |
| |
Enquiries for glass that requires special processing or requirements
should be submitted for confirmation before final design or order. |

Processing Limitations: |
| Apply to:- Special Shapes/Notches - Edgework - Finishes - |
Dimensional Limitations, Overall Size/Thickness - Hole
Processing etc. - e.g with hole processing, restrictions
apply to diameters, distance between holes and edge of
glass. |

Fitting Guidelines: |
| The different thermal expansions of glass and various frame |
materials together with possible manufacturing tolerances
must be taken into account when sizing frames and
glasses. |
| |
| If it is necessary for design reasons to use compression |
fixing of the glass in the frame, the pressure must be
applied uniformly (never unevenly or at individual points)
around the periphery of the glass. |
| |
| Non-distorting frames should be used. If slight distortions |
cannot be avoided, a suitable permanently elastic gasket
must be used to prevent the distortion of the frame being
transmitted to the glass. |
| |
| Direct contact between glass and metal (or other hard |
elements of construction) must be avoided. As an insert
between the glass and the metal we recommend
permanently elastic, heat-resistant materials. |
