California Window Expert Performs Tempered Glass Failure Analysis

March 5, 2013 By Tom Read Leave a Comment

California glass expert was asked to perform a glass failure analysis on a glass door that failed spontaneously, The failure analysis lab located the failure origin. The glass experts then examined the fracture surface at the origin, and they determined that the root cause of the failure was a nickel sulfide particle. The failure origin magnified 200X […]

Tempered Glass Expert Performs Failure Analysis

November 18, 2012 By Tom Read Leave a Comment

California Failure Analysis Lab routinely performs tempered glass failure analysis. In this case the glass expert determined that the tempered glass failed as a result of a pointed object that created crush damage that penetrated the compressive layer of the tempered glass. The glass was a large piece  10 mm thick. Thus, the compressive layer […]
