5.1 Glass

The sheet glass, coated glass, laminated glass, toughened glass, fire-resistant glass, semi-toughened glass, figured glass and other glasses can be adopted. The glass used shall be in compliance with the corresponding standard requirements.

5.3 Spacing materials

Spacing materials can be aluminum spacing strip, stainless steel spacing strip, composite spacing strip, composite gaskets, etc., and shall conform to the requirements of relevant standards and technical documents.

5.4 Desiccant

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

15mm from the glass edge by using the outside micrometer with accuracy of 0.01mm required by
