1、Designation:E243112Standard Practice forDetermining the Resistance of Single Glazed AnnealedArchitectural Flat Glass to Thermal Loadings1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E2431;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of
2、 revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This practice covers a procedure to determine theresistance of annealed architectural flat glass to t
3、hermallyinduced stresses caused by exposure to sun and shadows for aspecified probability of breakage(Pb).Proper use of thisprocedure is intended to reduce the possibility of thermalbreakage of annealed glass in buildings.1.2 This practice applies to vertical or sloped glazing inbuildings.1.3 This p
4、ractice applies to monolithic and laminated glassof rectangular shape and assumes that all glass edges aresimply supported.1.4 This practice applies only to annealed flat soda-limesilica glass with clean cut,seamed,flat ground,or ground andpolished edges that are free from damage.The glass may becle
5、ar or tinted as well as coated(not including coatings thatreduce emissivity of the glass).1.5 This practice does not apply to any form of wired,patterned,etched,sandblasted,drilled,notched,or groovedglass or glass with surface and edge treatments,other thanthose described in 1.4,that alter the glass
6、 strength.1.6 This practice does not address uniform loads such aswind and snow loads,safety requirements,fire,or impactresistance.1.7 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to inch-pound units that are provided for inf
