Test Process

Equipment Setup
Thermocouples Setup
a) Examine the appearance of glass and remove any foreign substances or
scratches.
b) The total of eight thermocouples Channel 1 to 8 (four highest temperature location
and four lowest temperature location) is attached to the glass surface.
The example of attachment is as shown below (The attachment should be fire-
resistant).

Figure 3-1 Thermocouples attachment Example

c) Confirm the quality control supervisor’s independent thermocouples are attached
close to the one of the eight monitoring thermocouples given by the oven
calibration report.
d) One thermocouples Channel 9 is attached to the oven to check the air
temperature.
Glass Frame Setup
e) Load the glass on the frame at intervals of 20 mm to prevent them from crashing
into each other and breaking.
f) After confirming that there are no people in the test equipment, put the test
specimen loaded on the frame.
g) Close the door and engage the test rig.

Heat Soak Process

Oven Operation
a) Check the operation of the compressor and verify that the pressure gauge has
reached 7 MPa.
 Operation is prohibited if 7MPa is not reached.
b) Set the target temperature and time for holding phase.
c) Activate the Operation switch to ‘AUTO’ in the control panel.

d) Check that voltmeter and ammeter is operating normally.

e) Check inverter is operating normally.

Heating Phase
The heating phase commences with all the glasses at ambient temperature and
concludes when the surface temperature of the last glass reaches 250 °C.
The thermocouple first reaches 250°C may not be the thermocouple with the highest
temperature during heating phase.
The example for monitoring for each channel is shown below.

Figure 3-2 Temperature Monitoring

Holding Phase
The holding phase commences when the surface temperature of all the glasses has
reached a temperature of 250 °C. The minimum duration of the holding phase is 2 hours.

Cooling Phase
The cooling phase can be concluded when the air temperature in the oven reaches
70 °C.

Fragmentation Test

Test Procedure
a) Prepare five of 360mm x 1,100mm glass without holes, notches or cut-outs.
b) Each test specimen shall be impacted, using a pointed steel tool, at a position 13
mm in from the longest edge of the test specimen at the mid-point of that edge, until
breakage occurs.

Figure 4-1 Fragmentation Impact Point

Examples of steel tools are a hammer of about 75 g mass, a spring loaded centre
punch, or other similar appliance with a hardened point. The radius of curvature of
the point should be approximately 0,2 mm.
c) The test specimen shall be laid flat on a Table without any mechanical constraint. In
order to prevent scattering of the fragments, the specimen shall be simply held at the
edges, e.g. by a small frame, adhesive tape, etc., so that the fragments remain
interlocked after breakage yet extension of the specimen is not hindered.

Assessment of Fragmentation
a) The particle is 'crack-free' if it does not contain any cracks which run from one edge
to another
b) The minimum particle count values for 8mmm thickness glass is 40.
c) The maximum length of longest particles shall not exceed 100mm.

Compliance Report
The heat soak test report contains the following information.

(1) Name of the tempered glass manufacturer;

(2) Name of the project using the manufacturer’s tempered glass;
(3) Total number and surface area of tempered glass panes used in the project;
(4) Location and identity number of the ovens, in which the heat soak process of the glass
panes in (3) was conducted;
(5) Calibration report as detailed in clause 9.3.2 of the ovens in accordance with the BS EN
14179-1 standard;
(6) Quantity and configuration of thermocouples used to measure the glass surface
temperatures in the oven. Eight thermocouples should be used as temperature
monitoring records. The location of the eight thermocouples should be determined from
the calibration report of the oven;
(7) Recorded temperature versus time graphs for each of the eight thermocouples during
heating phase, holding phase and cooling phase of the heat soak process;
(8) Quantity, dimensions and thickness of the tempered glass panes conforming to the BS
EN 14179-1 standard, and the record of breakages of panes in each heat soak process
with corresponding oven number; and
(9) Date of carrying out the heat soak process.

Corresponding report template is included in Appendix A – Compliance Report Template.
