Glass tester.
Dedicated Testometric glass testing systems for building glass, supplied with specialised bend fixtures and software support for international glass test standards including EN 1288-3:2000.
For labs testing the strength performance of building glass.
Testometric glass testing systems are configured around the specimen, standard and fixture requirement. The goal is controlled loading, stable support geometry and repeatable report output for glass quality and development teams.
- Building glass bend testing using a dedicated glass bend fixture.
- Quality control and R&D testing where standard geometry and method repeatability are critical.
- Force-displacement curve capture, peak force reporting and method-based result output through WinTest.
- Fixture and frame selection based on glass size, expected force range, support span and lab workflow.
European Standard EN 1288-3:2000.
EN 1288-3:2000 is a typical standard reference for determining the bending strength of glass in building. Confirm the exact standard revision, sample dimensions and fixture geometry required by your customer or laboratory quality system before ordering.
Standard-driven setup
The fixture, support span, loading arrangement, test speed and sample preparation should be matched to the required EN 1288-3 method.
Building glass focus
Suitable for glass manufacturers, processors and test labs evaluating building glass strength performance under controlled bending conditions.
Fixture-led quotation
Glass testing depends heavily on the fixture package. FITCO should confirm specimen size, support arrangement and required force range before final selection.
Specialised fixtures and software for controlled glass testing.
The tester is supplied as a configured system, not just a frame. The fixture, load cell and software method should work together to make the test repeatable.
- Dedicated glass bend fixture for building glass test setups.
- Computer-controlled Testometric frame with repeatable crosshead movement.
- WinTest software for method setup, graph capture, result calculation and reporting.
- Load cell selection based on expected glass failure load and required measurement accuracy.
- Data output for QA records, R&D comparison and customer documentation.
Details FITCO needs before confirming the glass tester.
Glass fixtures are application-specific. Share the test method and specimen details first so the frame, fixture and load cell are sized correctly.
| Standard | EN 1288-3:2000 or customer-specific method | Material | Building glass type and thickness range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Specimen | Length, width, thickness and edge condition | Fixture | Required bend fixture geometry and support span |
| Force range | Expected failure load and load cell capacity | Control mode | Crosshead speed, pre-load and end point definition |
| Report output | Peak force, displacement, curve, pass/fail and batch statistics | Lab fit | Frame size, guarding, operator access and sample handling |
