TECHNOLOGY OF FLOAT GLASS PROCESS

摘要

Among all the plate or sheet glasses, the "float glass" made by floating a sheet of glass over molten tin bath is the most popular and also technologically involved subject of concern to the building construction industry in general, and glass industry in particular. The novelty of this process is that the accuracy of the glass thickness free of any surface aberrations or irregularities is exceptional, which is inherent in the process technology itself. The process technology of float glass is presented here in terms of mathematical models for smoothening of the surface.
