The National Glass Association (NGA) is proud to announce the publication of its newly-updated Engineering Standards Manual. The manual replaces the previous 2008 edition.
The Engineering Standards Manual presents useful test procedures, performance requirements and specifications that will serve manufacturers and engineers in designing new and different products using heat-treated glass. In addition, information on heat resistance, strength and safety are included.
To maximize the performance of fully tempered glass, the manual also defines the physical tolerances, such as dimensions and contours, practical to various products.
Urmilla Sowell, NGA advocacy and technical director points out, "a key element to this manual is the table detailing minimum thickness guidelines for fully tempered glass in butt-glazed interior panels. Load values have been updated and additional glass sizes added to reflect the capabilities of today's products and the applications being requested."
NGA thanks the task group members who made this updated manual possible:
