Roll Wave Distortion measurement in Heat-Treated Flat Glass ASTM C1651
The standard method ASTM C1651 measures roll wave optical distortion in Architectural Glass. The peak-to-valley depth and peak-to-peak distances can be used to determine roll wave distortion in flat, heat-treated architectural glass. Values in inch-pound units are used as standard.
Scope:
The standard method ASTM C1651 helps determine the peak-to-valley depth and the wavelength of a roll wave in flat glass and then selecting the optical distortion resulting from that rolling wave. Peak-to-valley measurements provide a way of monitoring the roll wave distortion which occurs in flat, heat-treated architectural glass substrates processed in a heat processing continuous or heat-treated furnace in which rollers are used to convey the glass. Calculated peak-to-valley depth gives the information required by some specifiers of heat-treated flat glass products.
Test Procedure:
The test method ASTM C1651 comprises relocating an instrument across the glass surface parallel to the direction that the glass substrate traveled during heat processing. The device will predominantly measure the glass surface’s out-of-plane deformation, which is characteristic of the glass and known as “roll wave.” The peak-to-valley depths of the roll waves, W, and the peak-to-peak distances, L, are measured.
The instruments are used in two methods named as:

ASTM E572 test method covers the analysis of stainless and alloy steels by Wavelength Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (WDXRF). It provides rapid, multi-element determinations with sufficient accuracy to assure product quality.
The ASTM D2674 is a standard test method for the analysis of sulfochromate etches solution used in the surface preparation of aluminum. The ASTM D2674 standard specifies a method for determining the efficacy of an etchant used to prepare the surface of aluminum alloys for subsequent adhesive bonding.
An immunological method for quantization of Hevea Natural Rubber (HNRL) proteins using rabbit anti-HNRL serum. Rabbits immunized with HNRL proteins react to the majority of the proteins present, and their sera have the capability to detect most if not all the proteins in HNRL.
ASTM G65 measures the resistance of metallic materials to abrasion using the dry sand/rubber wheel apparatus. The quality, durability, and toughness of the sample are determined using this test. Metallic materials are ranked in their resistance to scratching abrasion under a controlled environment.
ASTM E2141 test methods provide accelerated aging and monitoring of the performance of time-dependent electrochromic devices (ECD) integrated in insulating glass units (IGU). This test helps to understand the relative serviceability of electrochromic glazings applied on ECD.
ASTM C724 test method is used in analyzing the quality and ease of maintenance of a ceramic decoration on architectural-type glass. This test method is useful in the acknowledgment of technical standards.
