1
Q

a hard, brittle, chemically inert substance produced by fusing silica together with a flux and a stabilizer into a mass that cools to a rigid condition without crystalization

A

Glass

2
Q

most common commercial glass; primarily used for bottles, jars, everyday drinking glasses, and window glasses

A

Soda-Lime Glass

3
Q

has a high refractive index and relatively soft surface, making it especially suited for decorating by grinding, cutting, and engraving

A

Lead Glass

4
Q

same as lead glass, but containing less lead

A

Crystal Glass

5
Q

composed mainly of silica and boric oxide with smaller amounts of the alkalis; for ovenware and other heat-resisting ware

A

Borosilicate Glass

6
Q

used in diverse fields such as in chemistry, pharmacy, electronics, optics, apparatus and instrument, construction and lighting industries

A

Special Glass

7
Q

refers to all glass products in a flat form, regardless of manufacturing method

A

Flat Glass

8
Q

generally are consumer goods such as bottles, drinking glasses or glass lamps

A

Hollowware

9
Q

fabricated by drawing the molten glass from a furnace (drawn glass), or by forming a cylinder, dividing it lengthwise, and flattening it (cylinder glass).

A

Sheet glass

10
Q

formed by rolling molten glass into a plate that is subsequently ground and polished after cooling

A

Plate glass

11
Q

manufactured by pouring molten glass onto a surface molten tin and allowing it to cool slowly

A

Float Glass

12
Q

glass that is cooled slowly to relieve internal stresses

A

Annealed Glass

13
Q

annealed glass that is reheated to just below hthe softening point and then rapidly cooled

A

Tempered Glass

14
Q

consists of two or more piles of flat glass bonded under heat and pressure to interlayers of polyvinyl butyral resin that retains the fragments if the glass is broken

A

Laminated or Safety Glass

15
Q

having a square or diamond wire mesh embedded within it to prevent shattering in the event of breakage or excessive heat

A

Wired Glass

16
Q

has a linear or geometric surface pattern formed in the rolling process to diffuse light

A

Patterned Glass

17
Q

has one or both sides acid-etched or sandblasted

A

Obscure Glass

18
Q

an opaque glass for concealing the structural elements in curtain wall construction

A

Spandrel Glass

19
Q

consisting of two or more sheets of glass separated by a hermetically sealed air space to provide thermal insulation

A

Insulating Glass

20
Q

has a chemical admixture to absorb a portion of the radiant heat and visible light that strike it

A

Tinted or Heat-absorbing Glass

21
Q

has a thin, translucent material coming to reflect a portion of the light and radiant heat that strikes it

A

Reflective glass

22
Q

transmits visible light while selectively reflecting the longer wavelengths of radiant heat produced by depositing a low-e coating

A

Low-emission Glass
