Desiccant shall be in compliance with the requirements of relevant standards.
6 Requirements
The performance and test methods of insulating glass unit shall comply with the provisions of the corresponding terms in Table 1.
6.1 Dimensional deviation
6.1.1 The allowable deviation for length and width of insulating glass unit are shown in Table 2.
Table 2 Length (width) allowable deviation Unit. mm
6.1.3 Diagonal difference of insulating glass unit
Diagonal difference of rectangular flat insulating glass unit shall not be more than 0.2% of the average length of the diagonal. Diagonal difference of curved and irregular shaped insulating glass unit shall be negotiated between the supplier and demander.
6.1.4 Dislocation
The maximum dislocation of flat insulating glass unit shall comply with the provisions in Table 4.
Table 4 Allowable dislocation Unit. mm
6.1.5 Bond-line thickness of insulating glass unit
Width of secondary line of sealant for insulating glass unit shall be >=5mm; glue line width of composite sealing strip shall be 8mm±2mm; width of primary line of butyl sealant layer shall be
>=3mm; Special specifications or specially required product shall be negotiated between the supplier and demander.
6.3 Dew point
Dew point of insulating glass unit shall be < -40 u00b0C.
6.4 Ultraviolet irradiation resistant performance
After test, the inner surface of sample shall be free of traces of fogging, water vapor condensation or contamination, or obvious deformation of sealant.
6.5 Durability of water vapor seal
Moisture permeability index I<=0.25, average value Iav<=0.20.
6.6 The initial gas content
The initial gas content of inflatable insulating glass unit shall be >= 85% (V/V).
6.7 Durability of gas seal
After gas seal durability test, the gas content of inflatable insulating glass unit shall be >= 80% (V/V).
6.8 U value
The supplier and the demander shall negotiate about whether this test is necessary.
7 Test methods
7.1 Dimensional deviation
7.1.1 Insulating glass unit length, width deviation and diagonal difference shall be measured with the steel tap or straight steel ruler with accuracy of 1.0mm; sealant layer width and dislocation shall be measured with the steel tap or straight steel ruler with accuracy of 0.5mm.
7.1.2 The thickness of the insulating glass unit shall be measured at the midpoint of four sides
