Product Details
As a result of heat-treating glass, optical distortions may occur from out-of-plane deformations of the glass surface. Currently, there are no industry-wide standards that specify acceptable values for optical distortion. However, there are existing methods/instruments to measure optical distortions. The methods/instruments referenced in this document are designed and intended for in-plant use only. These methods for measuring distortion cannot be applied in the field on vertical glazing and cannot be used on insulating glass units.
