List of references

Classifies glass for building purposes by composition and gives dimensions (including tolerances), approximate masses and normal maximum size availability.

This Part of BS 952 classifies glass for use in building into three glass compositions: the commonly used soda lime-silicate glass, borosilicate glass and glass ceramics. Terms and definitions, together with details of nominal thickness, thickness tolerance, mass/unit area and the normally available maximum sizes are given.
