What is BS EN 3001-Tempered float glass plies for aircraft applications about?

BS EN 3001 specifies the requirements for tempered soda-lime float glass plies which are made from annealed glass either of the universally available type or of high light transmission type. The annealed glass is manufactured by a continuous process for general use.

Note 1: The plies are tempered by either a thermal or chemical process.

Note 2: The tempered glass is used mainly for cockpit glazing.

Who is BS EN 3001-Tempered float glass plies for aircraft applications for?

BS EN 3001 on tempered float glass plies for aircraft applications is useful for:

Glazers
Quality control laboratories
Cockpit glass testers

Why should you use BS EN 3001 -Tempered float glass plies for aircraft applications?

Glazing is mounted in the window with the assistance of glazing putty and a frame that supports the glass and holds it in place. Installing windows with proper glazing or reglazing your existing windows can help you insulate the windows of the cockpit much better.

The required characteristics which include composition, materials, thickness, dimension, density, refractive index, optical defects, the strength of tempered glasses are provided in BS EN 3001.

The quality assurance of tempered glasses is done by Batch acceptance tests provided in BS EN 3001. BS EN 3001 also gives information on storage, packaging, marking, and ordering of tempered glasses.
