Properties Of Glass
Performance and life of glass lined equipment depend mainly on the quality and characteristics of glass. Nile has obtained technology of VersaGlass from Hakko Sangyo Company Limited, Japan.
Glass used in glass lined equipment contains predominantly Borosilicates, with other inorganic constituents, to give desired chemical and physical properties. Quality of Nile’s VersaGlass conforms to parameters specified in Japanese Industrial Standards. The following pages give details of physical properties, heat transfer data, and chemical resistance of VersaGlass.
SELECTION OF GLASS
Various types of glass are used by manufacturers of glass lined equipment. Their properties can be compared with the help of chemical resistance charts. Chemical resistance of VersaGlass in some typical applications is given in the following pages.
Corrosion rate varies with temperature and concentration of chemicals. At higher temperatures, the corrosion rate increases. For a specified concentration, superior quality glass has a lower corrosion rate at a given temperature, or has a higher operating temperature for a given corrosion rate. VersaGlass is comparable with the best glass available in the international market.
