What causes the glass of the glass curtain wall to explode?
2024-06-24 Back
The glass of theglass curtain wall explodes spontaneously when it is in use. There may be many reasons for the explosion of the glass curtain wall. The following are some common factors that cause the explosion of the glass:
1. Internal defects:
There are hidden internal defects in the glass during the production, processing or installation process, such as bubbles, cracks, thermal stress, etc. These defects may gradually expand during use and cause the glass to explode.
2. Instantaneous temperature difference:
The glass surface is affected by a large temperature difference in a short period of time, such as sudden high temperature, low temperature or hot and cold water washing, which will cause the glass to expand and contract rapidly, produce large stress and cause explosion.
3. Mechanical damage:
The glass curtain wall may be subjected to external impact, collision or other mechanical damage, resulting in uneven force on the glass and sudden rupture.
4. Fastening method problem:
During the installation of the glass curtain wall, if the fasteners are loose, ineffective or improperly installed, the glass may be unevenly stressed, resulting in stress concentration and causing explosion.
5. Glass quality issues: Low-quality or defective glass materials may have hidden dangers and may explode suddenly due to long-term environmental influences.
6. Thermal stress: Glass is exposed to the sun and heated by the sun, resulting in temperature differences in different parts causing thermal stress. If the stress is too large, it may cause the glass to explode.
To reduce the risk of glass curtain wall explosion, it is recommended to select high-quality glass materials and ensure the safety and stability of the glass curtain wall through reasonable design, correct installation and regular inspection and maintenance. If any glass damage or abnormality is found, timely measures should be taken to repair or replace it to prevent potential safety problems.
