The Critical Relationship Between Glass Surface Quality and The Tempering Rollers

Bill Zhao & Ren Bartoe

The author discusses the critical physical and chemical properties of fused silica ceramic rollers used in the horizontal heat-treating process for safety glass. Those properties coupled with the care and maintenance of rollers and the operating parameters of the tempering furnace are directly assoc...

China float glass sector energy efficiency survey

Xinchun (Steven) Wang, Institute of Technical Information for Building Materials Industry of China

China flat glass output is 17.5 mt in 2005, accounting for 40% of the world total. 86% of the output was produced by 142 float glass lines. China is producing 38% of global float glass. More than 7 million tons of SCE is consumed per year. In March 2006 a primary survey on China float glass sector e...

Influence of edge finishing on the resistance to thermal stresses of float glass

Vincenzo M. Sglavo, DIMTI - University of Trento and Christine Müller & Francesca Righetti, Glas Müller Vetri Spa

Thermal stresses can arise in float glass architectural applications due to differential exposition to sun radiation or interior heating. The intensity of thermal stress depends on the temperature distribution within the sheet and is related to the difference between cold and warm areas, the former ...
