tempering unit
• Tempering for shower enclosure glasses only
• 90% of an enclosure is glass, so glass must conform to the highest
safety standards as it is used in the bathroom
• Quality checks :
- Fragmentation test : to check breakage pattern of glass
- Zebra test: no waviness
- Ball drop test (impact resistance): to check strength at point of
impact
- Visual defects: to check bubbles, scratches, chipping at edges and
other visible defects
- Free fall test: to check overall strength of glass, by throwing the
glass freely on a plain surface
Standards :
- These standards ensure that the glass passes stringent quality
parameters
- Ensures consistency
- Enhances life of the product
