10mm Tempered Glass With Holes

Tempered glass is made by heating flat glass to just below its softening temperature and suddenly chilling it with jets of cold air. It results the outer skins under powerful compressive stress and the interior with severe tensile stress. In consequence, the impact applied to the glass will be overcome by the compression stress on the surfaces to assure safety of use.

Tempered safety glass has a much higher thermal shock resistance than float glass. Tempered safety glass can resist a thermal shock of as much as 150K, whereas float glass can only withstand thermal shock of 40K.

Tempered safety glass is considered safety glass, however, primarily due to the way it breaks. Because it is in state of internal tension, when it breaks it shatters suddenly into small fragments with blunt edges, which considerably reduce the risk of severe injury.

Tempered Glass With Holes & Cutouts

Placement of holes for tempered glass

(1) The minimum distance from any edge of the glass to the nearest point on the rim of a hole shall be 6 mm (1/4 ) or 2 times the thickness of the glass, whichever is greater (see Fig. 1).
(2) The minimum distance between the rims of adjoining holes shall be 10 mm (3/8) or 2 times the thickness of glass, whichever is greater (see Fig. 1).
(3) Holes near comers shall be located so that the nearest edge of the hole is a minimum of 6.5 times the thickness of the glass from the tip of the comer when the comer is 90° or more (see Fig. 2).
(4) Minimum Dimension of Holes― Circular holes shall have a minimum diameter of 6 mm (1/4) or the thickness of the glass, whichever is greater. In other than circular holes, any comers shall have fillets, the radius of which shall be equal to or greater than the thickness of the glass (see Fig. 3).
