1. Oridinary flat glass and float glass are flat glass. Just difference from production process and quality; Ordinary flat glass is made of quartz sandstone powder, silica sand, potassium fossil, soda ash, Glauber's salt and other raw materials, according to a certain proportion of preparation, melting through the melting furnace, through vertical drawing method or flat pull method, calendering produced by the transparent colorless plate glass. Ordinary flat glass by the appearance of quality is divided into special products, first-class goods, second-class three categories. According to the nominal thickness of 2,3,4,5,6,8,10,12,15,19,22,25 mm total of 12 kinds of specifications.


2. Float glass is made of sea sand, quartz sandstone powder, soda ash, dolomite and other raw materials, according to a certain proportion of preparation, melting through the melting furnace, glass from the pool to the continuous flow and floating on the metal surface, Uniform thickness of the flat, the fire polished glass, cooling hardened from the metal liquid, and then cut by cutting the transparent colorless flat glass. The glass surface is particularly smooth and smooth, the thickness is very uniform, the optical distortion is very small. Float glass by the appearance of quality is divided into excellent products, a grade, qualified three categories. According to the thickness of 3,4,5,6,8,10,12,15,19 mm 9 kinds.

3.Ordinary flat glass appearance quality level is based on wave tendons, bubbles, scratches, sand, pimple, line and other defects and determine the number of defects. Float glass appearance quality level is based on optical deformation,bubbles, inclusions, scratches, lines, fog and other defects to judge.


4.Ordinary glass, emerald green, fragile, transparency is not high, rain and rain under the easy aging deformation. Float glass, transparent float glass is the glass paste through the control gate into the tin tank, due to gravity and its own surface tension floating on the surface of the molten tin, and then into the Xu cold groove, so that both sides of the glass smooth and smooth, ripple disappeared production. Dark green, smooth surface without ripples, good perspective, with a certain toughness.


5. Float glassand ordinary glass production processis different from the advantages of the surface is hard, smooth, smooth, float glass side to see the color and the general glass is different, white, reflective objects without distortion and the general watermark The deformation.
