| 释义 |
Plate glass, flat glass or sheet glass is a type of glass, initially produced in plane form, commonly used for windows, glass doors, transparent walls, and windscreens. For modern architectural and automotive applications, the flat glass is sometimes bent after production of the plane sheet. Flat glass stands in contrast to container glass (used for bottles, jars, cups) and glass fibre (used for thermal insulation, in fibreglass composites, and optical communication). Flat glass has a higher magnesium oxide and sodium oxide content than container glass, and a lower silica, calcium oxide, and aluminium oxide content.[1] (From the lower soluble oxide content comes the better chemical durability of container glass against water, which is required especially for storage of beverages and food). Most flat glass is soda–lime glass, produced by the float glass process. Other processes for making flat glass include:
Quality and damageScratches can occur on sheet glass from accidental causes. In glass trade terminology these include "block reek" produced in polishing, "runner-cut" caused by grinding, or a "sleek" or hairline scratch, as well as "crush" or "rub" on the surface.[2] See also
