In buildings, the thickness of hollow glass is an important specification. There are several specifications that control the thickness of insulating glass. For example, the thickness should be at least eight millimetres and not less than half a millimetre. Decontamination and chemical treatment should also be carried out to ensure its safety performance. In addition, desiccant quality standards must be met.
The thickness of hollow glass is controlled by many factors, including material selection, processing and environment. The thickness of insulating glass is best achieved through appropriate material selection, effective processing and appropriate environmental conditions. In addition to thickness, the material must be durable and strong. The insulation should be heated at a higher pressure on the heating roller before application. The outlet strip should be kept between 40 and 55 degrees Fahrenheit. When sealing hollow glass, the thickness of the glass should be uniform, but also should be pinched, so as to avoid transverse separation.
The thickness of hollow glass depends on the amount of air entering the building. It also limits heat transfer. Air can also cause glass to mist. Argon, on the other hand, provides insulation while having a lower moisture content. In addition, it provides an increased U value and minimizes heat transfer. Argon-filled insulating glass can be used with Low-E coating to provide better performance.
