Glass Proof Load Testing
Controlled proof-load and related mechanical testing for glass and glazed assemblies.
Load it deliberately.
Measure what happens.
Project glass questions are often as much about support conditions and load paths as the pane itself. A useful test therefore starts by defining how the real assembly is restrained and what acceptance criterion matters.
The test method, accreditation status and engineering interpretation are agreed before the specimen arrives.
What we can
put under test.
Proof loading
Apply the specified load in a controlled sequence.
Deflection measurement
Record movement where project requirements include serviceability.
Support condition
Reproduce the nominated fixing or support arrangement where practical.
Post-load inspection
Document damage, permanent set or other agreed acceptance criteria.
Project-specific rigging
Develop a fixture around unusual geometry when required.
