How To Use This Calculator |

| The results of the calculations above assume good workmanship in preparation of the glass (quartz) window. Reasonable care must be taken in handling and use to protect glass (quartz) surfaces from scratches, abrasions, pits or digs that can act as break sources. Glass under stress will fail due to a break source. Therefore, surface preparation of glass exposed to thermal or mechanical stress is critical. Alternately, defects that are smooth and exhibit a gentle surface change are less damaging. This calculator is based on accepted strength of material calculations for the geometry and conditions selected. The calculator should in no way be interpreted as a guarantee or a warranty of the quartz performance. It should be used along with prudent testing of designs. A uniformly distributed load is assumed in the calculations. | |
