Borosilicate glass is wildly used in fire prevention, chemical industry, aerospace, construction and other fields for its low expansion rate, high temperature resistance and high chemical stability. Borosilicate glass has no obvious distinguishing features in appearance from ordinary float glass, especially ultra-clear float glass, and is difficult to distinguish and identify with the naked eye. Therefore, it is particularly important to verify whether a glass product is made of borosilicate glass.

BSD-1 Borosilicate Glass Detector

Based on an in-depth understanding of the optical properties of borosilicate glass and in response to the urgent needs of the industry, Aoptek has developed the BSD-1 Borosilicate Glass Detector. This instrument can quickly identify borosilicate glass by adopting an optical measurement method to judge whether the material is borosilicate glass, without the need for destructive sampling of the glass. The BSD-1 Borosilicate Glass Detector enables rapid non-destructive identification of glass products of various thicknesses and sizes, and is applicable to various scenarios including factory incoming inspection, engineering sites, and sample identification in testing institutions.

The borosilicate glass detector can be used in the following scenarios:

  1. For deep-processing manufacturers of borosilicate fire-resistant glass to identify glass during procurement, production and processing;

  2. For companies purchasing borosilicate glass products (such as door and window manufacturers) to inspect and accept products;

  3. For product testing centers to verify the consistency between submitted fire-resistant glass products and the declared materials;

  4. For project acceptance departments to confirm the consistency of products provided by manufacturers;

  5. It is also suitable for industries in the industrial chain related to Borosilicate 3.3.

With its unique advantages, borosilicate glass will be widely promoted and applied in the construction industry. The R&D and production of borosilicate glass detectors safeguard the proper application of genuine borosilicate glass, prevent counterfeit and shoddy products from entering the market and causing major potential safety hazards, help improve product quality, regulate industry practices, and guide the healthy and rapid development of the industry.
