Does old corning ware contain lead?
Yes, it is tempered glass.
How do you tell if glass is tempered?
Tempered glass will commonly have an etched mark in an unimportant corner. However, the process of tempering the glass will alter the crystal structure (obviously!). Using polarizing film to look at it will show a slightly coloured pattern of cells - a few cm wide each - across the surface. For the tempering process alters the polarization of the light passing through. [The effect will be more pronounced if the transmitted light you are using, is itself polarized.]
Is the well tempered clavier an oratorio?
No.
How many preludes and fugues are included in the well tempered clavier volumes?
There are 24 preludes and fugues in each of the two volumes of the Well-Tempered Clavier.
What is a set of forty eight preludes and fugues by bach?
the Well-Tempered Clavier
Is double strength glass suitable for shower window glazing?
You need to use tempered glass only.
What is the Difference between herculite tempered glass and herculite tempered safety glass?
Herculite tempered glass is a type of tempered glass that has been processed to increase its strength and safety. Herculite tempered safety glass is a specific brand of tempered safety glass known for its durability and resistance to impact. The main difference is that Herculite tempered safety glass is a branded version of tempered safety glass, possibly with additional features or specifications.
Can laminated glass be tempered?
Tempered glass can be laminated, but laminated glass cannot be tempered.
What is the difference between single and double strength window glass?
Single Strength Glass is 3/32" thickness and Double Strength Glass is 1/8" thickness.
Can glass be sprayed to get tempered glass?
Um NO you temper glass the same as you temper any thing else. You have to heat it up. it cant be cut after it has been temoerd either. Cross section of glass has two areas, compressive strength area and tensile strength area. When glass is heated above 600 degree and fast cooled, the compressive strength area expands. Since glass has more compressive strength than tensile strength, it becomes difficult to break it. Tempered glass, especially toughened glasses are 4 to 5 times stronger than normal glass. These glasses break into small circular fragments. Normal glass breaks into sharp pieces and is a safety hazard.

Can i cut or drill a hole in laminated and tempered glass?
Laminated glass and tempered glass are not necessarily the same thing. Tempered glass cannot be drilled, but untempered laminated glass could (probably) be drilled. Holes in tempered glass are drilled before tempering.
What does DSB Glass Stand for?
Double Strength Billet (DSB) glass
What is the difference between Tempered Glass and Annealed Glass and which one is better?
Tempering is the process to add properties to the raw glass and to make it Standard or Toughened. If tempered (Heated) and cooled slowly, it becomes standard glass on the other hand if tempered and cooled rapidly, it gains different properties and becomes tough or is called toughened glass.

We have a 3/8" thick glass coffee table top which we want to shorten. We are told if the glass is tempered- no can do. True any way to tell if a piece of glassis tempered?
You can not cut tempered glass because once a piece is broken the whole glass shatters. Tempered glass is safer because it breaks into tiny pieces rather than sharp edges like regular glass. The only way to tell if a glass is tempered is to break the glass or use a polarizer to detect stress waves. You will see stress waves in tempered glass verses regular glass. Hope this helps.
How do you determine tempered glass or not?
To determine if glass is tempered, look for a manufacturer's stamp or mark indicating it is tempered. Tempered glass is also stronger and shatters into small, blunt pieces when broken. If you can't find any markings, consult with a professional or use a polarized lens filter to check for any stress patterns, which are typical in tempered glass.
Does a door transom need to be tempered?
Yes! All glass in and around a door opening has to be tempered glass, according to all building codes. In fact, it is even more important that transom glass is tempered, simply because of the height of the transom from the ground. Tempered glass, remember, is type of safety glass. It's been processed to increase its strength compared with normal glass. When broken, tempered glass crumbles into small, granular chunks instead of splintering into jagged shards like normal glass does. These granular chunks are less likely to cause injury. So if the glass in your transom, above your entry door, ever broke-for whatever reason-large, jagged shards of glass will not be raining down on you or your family. All patio doors are tempered glass as well. It's a safer solution.
How do you tell if you have single strength vs double strength windows?
measure the thickness of the glass, double strength is 1/8" thick while single strength is 1/16" thick
