Quality control for float glass production

- Design of quality control system for float glass production (rooms, equipment, staff)

- Selection, production/purchasing and delivery of equipment customized to client’s needs

- Commissioning, training and support during start-up phase

- Turn-key solutions for laboratory and quality control

Quality control equipment for float glass

- Zebra test (optical quality test according to standards, e.g. EN 572, part 2)

- Comparative ream test (detection of fine optical distortions)

- Edge light test (detection of fine bubbles/seeds and surface defects)

- Bow and dish test (flatness test for lehr setting optimization)

- Edge-lift test equipment

- Other test equipment on request

Reference sample sets  

The sample sets are designed as reference samples for the quality control of float glass carried out with UV/VIS/NIR spectrophotometers and XRF. Each set is delivered with a comprehensive documentation of its properties. The following sets/specimen are available:

- FGRSS (Float Glass Reference Sample Set): Six float glass samples 50mm x 50mm x 4mm; low-iron, clear, green, bronze, grey & blue.

- SGRS (Solar Glass Reference Sample): Low-iron float glass samples 50mm x 50mm x 3.2mm.

- Other reference samples, e.g. for “Tin count” on request
