BENDING SHAPES Several significant innovations of the field, such as bending methods applied to e.g. demanding spherical, conical and parabolic glasses have come into being as a result of the company’s development work. This brochure introduces Tambest Glass Solution’s comprehensive product range of curved glass products as well as their technical possibilities and limitations. Several interdependent factors affect the fact whether the requested glass is available as curved. These factors include e.g. the glass quality, glass size, opening angle, radius and glass thickness. Therefore, the dimensions given in this brochure should always be understood only as theoretical maximum dimensions to be specified always case by case. glass solutions Curved glasses Cylindrical bending is possible in the following glass types and dimensions: FLOAT GLASS thickness 3–19 mm b x l 3210 x 6000 mm or b x l 6000 x 3210 mm h max. 1100 mm LAMINATED GLASS thickness 6–36 mm b x l 3210 x 6000 mm or b x l 6000 x 3210 mm h max. 1100 mm lamination with a PVB film, min. 0.76 mm TEMPERED GLASS thickness: 5–15 mm b x l 2440 x 4200 mm or b x l 4200 x 2440 mm h max. 800 mm a max. 90° HEAT-STRENGTHENED GLASS The dimensions of a heat-strengthened glass are defined case by case. LAMINATED TEMPERED GLASS thickness 10–30 mm b x l on request h max. on request * Laminated tempered safety glass combines the safety characteristics of tempered and laminated safety glass into the same product. The dimensions are defined case by case. LAMINATED HEAT-STRENGTHENED GLASS thickness 10–30 mm b x l on request h max. on request * The dimensions of a laminated heat-strengthened glass are defined case by case. INSULATING GLASS Dimensions of an insulating glass to be manufactured depend on the glass types preferred to be used for composing the insulating glass. The dimensions of an insulating glass are defined case by case. r = bending radius b = outer girth l1 = glass height c = chord length h = chord height .. = bending angle /opening angle Standard bending: opening angle ..90° Special bending: opening angle 90°–180° r = bending radius (to the outer surface) (A-A) b = outer girth: on the line A – A l1 = glass height e = diagonal chord length .. = bending angle / opening angle ln = rise (mm) Rule: l2 min ..1/3 x l1 CYLINDRICAL

The bending radii, however, change in accordance with the parabola function. Parabolic bending is possible either in float glass, laminated glass or insulating glass. * Dimensions and thicknesses are defined case by case. r = bending radius b = girth l1 = glass height c = chord length h = chord...

The maximum dimensions of insulating glass to be manufactured depend on the requested bending shape and the glass types to be used. Dimensions and thicknesses are calculated on request. Curved insulating glass is...
