What Is The Density of Tempered Glass?

In order to ensure our personal safety, Tempered Glass is used on the windows of some cars and trains, and some buildings are also tempered. So do you know why tempered glass is used in these places? How does it ensure our safety? Under normal circumstances, toughened glass is heavier, so its density is relatively large, it is more resistant to pressure, and will not produce sharper fragments when it is broken, thus protecting us. Since tempered glass is heavy, what is its density? Let us take a closer look.

Tempered glass is a kind of safety glass that can play a protective role. It is processed by physical methods to improve the strength of the glass, so that the finished tempered glass can withstand great impact. Before the production of Shenzhen glass, it needs to make a fixed size in advance, and then after different times and different degrees of high temperature, tempered glass of different thickness is formed. When we pick up the tempered glass, we will find that it is very heavy, so it has a high density.

The density of tempered glass is about 2500 kg/m3. If you compare it with the density of steel, its density can reach 1/3 of that of steel. The density of toughened glass is mainly related to its manufacturing process. Ordinary annealed glass undergoes high temperature treatment for a period of time to make its surface soft and liquefied. At the same time, the surface of the glass is blown and cooled. While heating and cooling, the surface of the tempered glass is in a compressed state. , Thereby changing the tension and strength of the glass. In fact, the density of tempered glass is the same as that of ordinary annealed glass, but because of the process of heating and cooling, the internal force is more uniform, which improves the ability of impact resistance, and it is also not when the glass is broken.

There will be relatively sharp fragments. According to the time of annealing glass in high temperature and cooling time, tempered glass will have different degrees of tempering, which are basically divided into tempered glass, semi-tempered glass, and super fully tempered glass. Among them, semi-tempered glass has the weakest impact resistance, and super-strong full-tempered glass has the strongest impact resistance. Generally, super-strong full-tempered glass is used as laboratory materials or aviation materials. However, tempered glass has a disadvantage, that is, there can be no changes to the size after production. If a specific shape or size is required, it needs to be cut before production. Although the impact resistance of this kind of glass is relatively large, it is not easy to break, and it is difficult to break it in an emergency, but it is equipped with safety hammers on trains and cars. In the event of an accident, you can use safety hammers. Break the glass to escape.
