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.
