SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
5.1 Pummel adhesion of laminated glass is a method used to measure the relative adhesive bond strength between the interlayer and glass substrate interface. The interlayer to substrate adhesion has a great effect on the impact resistance of laminates as well as long term stability. This test method is intended to provide three levels of grading. This test method is not intended to provide more precision. The laminate bond strength, in most applications, must be controlled to avoid potential problems of delamination at low adhesion and impact failures or undesirable post breakage characteristics at high adhesion.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method determines the relative strength of the adhesive bond between interlayer and glass, inks, coatings, frit or other materials adhered to the glass surface to which interlayers may bond (hereinafter, glass substrate).  
1.2 This test method outlines a test method to be used on laminated architectural glass with two layers of glass substrate bonded by an interlayer. Glass substrate can be undecorated, decorated, uncoated, coated, annealed or strengthened, flat or patterned. One or more of the surfaces of glass may have a surface with ink, coatings, frit, patterns, a low-e type coating etc.  
1.3 This test method is a qualitative test which covers manual and semi-automatic mechanical pummel testing and visual rating of tested specimens.  
1.4 Units—The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses after SI units are provided for information only and are not considered standard.  
1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.  
1.6 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
5.1 It is generally recognized that excess moisture and air within an interlayer will cause bubble formation in a laminate when exposed to heat or UV radiation, or both. These may be caused by initial moisture and air in the interlayer and be generated by thermal exposure. The purpose of this test method is to measure quantitatively the laminate stability under controlled conditions, specifically in relation to the formation of bubbles in the body of the laminate.  
5.2 Subjecting the laminated glazing to extended heat at a controlled temperature and time provides the excess moisture and air which are forced into the interlayer during processing to surface as bubbles. This occurs only if there are excess moisture and air trapped in between the glass. Therefore, making these thermal tests efficient to determine proper de-airing of laminated glass products.  
5.3 This test method provides a means to visually determine if discoloration has or is occurring and serves as a pass/fail test for some aspects of lamination quality.  
5.4 This test method can be performed after natural or accelerated exposure to determine if there are changes to the polymer such as the stability with high temperature which is useful for understanding the visual stability of installed glazing.  
5.5 This test method does not provide an indication of laminated glass capability for impact resistance, glass shard retention on breakage or edge stability of laminated glass.
SCOPE
1.1 The purpose of this test method is to measure quantitatively the laminate stability under controlled conditions, specifically in relation to the formation of bubbles in a laminate with heat exposure.  
1.2 This test method can be performed on laminates which have been exposed to weathering or as manufactured samples to determine the amount of excess air dissolved in the interlayer.  
1.3 This test method determines the stability of laminated glass when subjected to high heat environments.  
1.4 This test method outlines a procedure to be used on laminated glass with two or more layers of glass bonded by an interlayer.  
1.5 This test method covers visual rating of tested specimens.  
1.6 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses after SI units are provided for information only and are not considered standard.  
1.7 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.  
1.8 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

1.7 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
5.1 Stress may be applied intentionally through a heat treatment or tempering process to increase mechanical strength and improve safety characteristics of glass sheets. The process itself makes it practically impossible to achieve a homogenous residual stress profile over a full glass panel. These variations are due to variations in type of glass (clear, tinted, coated, etc.), the fabrication, sheet geometry, heating, quenching, and cooling. Even though the level of inhomogeneity may not interfere with the global mechanical property of the glass sample, it can produce optical patterns called anisotropy (often commonly referred to as leopard spots). Today to evaluate this stress homogeneity people may use the subjective, non-standardized method of viewing through a polarized filter or employing a polariscope. The present test method provides guidelines for measuring a physical parameter, the optical retardation, directly linked to the local residual stress, at many locations on each heat-treated glass sheet.  
5.2 Through this test method one can obtain in a non-destructive manner, on-line to the tempering furnace equipment, a map of the retardation value of all glasses. That information can then be used:  
5.2.1 By the tempering operator to adjust the settings of the heat treatment process to optimize/tune both the levels optical retardations and its homogeneity on heat treated glass sheets.  
5.2.2 To provide a standardized way to measure optical retardation values for each glass panel that can be archived and communicated when desired.  
5.2.3 By customers and other stakeholders to develop/write specifications for the optical retardation values (not the visibility of the pattern) that are independently verifiable.  
5.3 This test method can also be used off-line to evaluate the optical retardation level and homogeneity of any heat-treated glass, for quality assurance or other purposes.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method addresses the measurement of optical anisotropy in architectural glass.  
1.2 This test method is a test method for measuring optical retardation. It is not an architectural glazing specification.  
1.3 The optical retardation values may be used to calculate/predict the amount of visible pattern, commonly known as anisotropy or iridescence, present in heat-treated glass.  
1.4 This test method applies to monolithic heat-treated (heat-strengthened and fully tempered) clear, tinted and coated glass.  
1.5 This test method does not apply to:  
1.5.1 Glass that diffuse light (that is, patterned glass, sand blasted glass, acid etched, etc.), or  
1.5.2 Glass that is not optically transparent (that is, mirrors, enameled or fritted glass).  
1.6 The optical measurement is integrated through the glass thickness, and therefore cannot be used to assess the level of tempering. It does not give information on the surface stress or center tension.  
1.7 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses after SI units are provided for information only and are not considered standard.  
1.8 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.  
1.9 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
4.1 Tests conducted in accordance with this practice are used to evaluate the stability of laminated glazing materials when they are exposed outdoors or used indoors. The relative durability of glazing in outdoor use can be very different depending on the location of the exposure because of differences in ultraviolet (UV) radiation, time of wetness, temperature, pollutants, and other factors. It cannot be assumed, therefore, that results from one exposure in a single location will be useful for determining relative durability in a different location. When comparing exposure results, at a minimum, the locations of exposure are to be as similar as possible with regard to critical factors such as the amount and rate of solar radiation deposited on the specimens, temperature and humidity levels during exposure. Exposures in several locations with different climates that represent a broad range of anticipated service conditions may be necessary.  
4.2 Because of year-to-year climatological variations, results from a single exposure test cannot be used to predict the absolute rate at which a material degrades. Several years of repeat exposures are needed to get an average test result for a given location.  
4.3 The results of short-term natural and accelerated exposure tests can provide an indication of relative outdoor performance, but they should not be used to predict the absolute long-term performance of a material. The results of tests conducted under natural exposure for less than twelve months will depend on the particular season of the year in which they begin.
SCOPE
1.1 This practice is intended to cover procedures for the exposure of laminated glass materials to natural and accelerated weather.  
1.2 This practice is limited to the method by which the material is to be exposed and the general procedure to be followed. It is intended for use with finished articles of commerce as well as with all sizes and shapes of test specimens.  
1.3 Means of evaluation of the effects of weathering will depend on the intended use for the test material.  
1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses after SI units are provided for information only and are not considered standard.  
1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.  
1.6 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers the requirements for chemically strengthened glass products that are used in general building construction, transportation, solar, and other electronic applications, such as PC screens, notebooks, tablets, smart phones, and E-readers, as well as copy machine scanners, computer disks, and flat glass screens for television monitors. The technique covered in this specification usually involves conducting ion exchange of constituent alkali ions in a glass product by immersing it in a bath of molten salt containing larger alkali ions. Penetration of the larger ions into smaller host sites produces a layer of compression on the surface which strengthens the glass. Techniques such as ion implantation, dealkalization, etch-strengthening, and glaze coatings are specifically excluded from this specification.  
1.2 Classification of chemically strengthened glass products is based on the laboratory measurements of surface compression and case depth (depth of compression) and not on the modulus of rupture (MOR). This specification does not purport to address end-use performance.  
1.3 A test method for the measurement of case depth and surface compression is included in Section 8. Another test method for similar measurement using optically guided-wave equipment is included in Section 9.  
1.4 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system are not necessarily exact equivalents; therefore, to ensure conformance with the standard, each system shall be used independently of the other, and values from the two systems shall not be combined.  
1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.  
1.6 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

1.2 This test method is a test method for measuring optical retardation. It is not an architectural glazing specification.  
1.3 The optical retardation values may be used to calculate/predict the amount of visible pattern, commonly known as anisotropy or iridescence, present in heat-treated glass.  
1.4 This test method applies to monolithic heat-treated (heat-strengthened and fully tempered) clear, tinted and coated glass.  
1.5 This test method does not apply to:  
1.5.1 Glass that diffuse light (that is, patterned glass, sand blasted glass, acid etched, etc.), or  
1.5.2 Glass that is not optically transparent (that is, mirrors, enameled or fritted glass).  
1.6 The optical measurement is integrated through the glass thickness, and therefore cannot be used to assess the level of tempering. It does not give information on the surface stress or center tension.  
1.7 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses after SI units are provided for information only and are not considered standard.  
1.8 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.  
1.9 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers the requirements for chemically strengthened glass products that are used in general building construction, transportation, solar, and other electronic applications, such as PC screens, notebooks, tablets, smart phones, and E-readers, as well as copy machine scanners, computer disks, and flat glass screens for television monitors. The technique covered in this specification usually involves conducting ion exchange of constituent alkali ions in a glass product by immersing it in a bath of molten salt containing larger alkali ions. Penetration of the larger ions into smaller host sites produces a layer of compression on the surface which strengthens the glass. Techniques such as ion implantation, dealkalization, etch-strengthening, and glaze coatings are specifically excluded from this specification.  
1.2 Classification of chemically strengthened glass products is based on the laboratory measurements of surface compression and case depth (depth of compression) and not on the modulus of rupture (MOR). This specification does not purport to address end-use performance.  
1.3 A test method for the measurement of case depth and surface compression is included in Section 8. Another test method for similar measurement using optically guided-wave equipment is included in Section 9.  
1.4 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.  
1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.  
1.6 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
5.1 The strength and performance of heat-strengthened and fully-tempered glass is greatly affected by the surface and edge stress induced during the heat-treating process.  
5.2 The edge and surface stress levels are specified in Specification C1048, in the Engineering Standards Manual3 of GANA Tempering Division and in foreign specifications.  
5.3 This test method offers a direct and convenient way to non-destructively determine the residual state of stress on the surface and at the edge of annealed and heat-treated glass.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method covers the determination of edge stresses and surface stresses in annealed, heat-strengthened, and fully tempered flat glass products.  
1.2 This test method is non-destructive.  
1.3 This test method uses transmitted light and is, therefore, applicable to light-transmitting glasses.  
1.4 The test method is not applicable to chemically-tempered glass.  
1.5 Using the procedure described, surface stresses can be measured only on the “tin” side of float glass.  
1.6 Surface-stress measuring instruments are designed for a specific range of surface index of refraction.  
1.7 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.  
1.8 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.  
1.9 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
