In modern architecture and interior decoration, single glass partitions are widely used because of their beautiful and transparent features, but the risk of self-explosion cannot be ignored, and relevant preventive measures need to be explored in depth.
First of all, the quality of the glass itself is one of the key factors leading to self-explosion. If there are impurities in the glass production process, such as nickel sulfide, phase change will occur when the temperature changes, resulting in volume expansion, which will cause self-explosion. For example, some small glass manufacturers do not have strict process control, which may cause glass containing more impurities to flow into the market. Therefore, when choosing glass, priority should be given to high-quality glass produced by large and well-known manufacturers, which are more stringent in raw material screening and production process control, and can effectively reduce the probability of self-explosion caused by impurities. At the same time, manufacturers are required to provide quality inspection reports to ensure that the glass meets relevant standards.
Secondly, improper installation will also increase the risk of self-explosion. If the glass is unevenly stressed during installation, such as inaccurate frame size, forced insertion of glass leads to excessive local extrusion; or damage to the edge of the glass during installation, destroying the stress balance of the glass, it may cause self-explosion in subsequent use. The correct installation method is to ensure that the frame size is accurate, use appropriate sealants and buffer materials, and avoid direct contact between the glass and the hard frame. And during the installation process, be careful to prevent scratches, bumps and other damage to the glass surface and edges.
In addition, environmental factors have an important impact on the self-explosion of single glass partitions. Rapid changes in temperature are common inducing factors, especially in areas with strong direct sunlight. The surface temperature of the glass rises rapidly, while the internal temperature changes relatively lag. This uneven thermal expansion and contraction will produce greater stress. When the stress exceeds the bearing limit of the glass, it will explode. Therefore, when designing and installing, you can consider using shading facilities to reduce direct sunlight, or choose glass varieties with good thermal stability, such as tempered laminated glass. Even if the outer layer of glass explodes, the inner layer of glass can also play a protective role to prevent glass fragments from splashing and injuring people.
Finally, daily maintenance and use are also related to the risk of self-explosion. Check the status of the glass partition regularly to see if there are signs of cracks, damage, etc. If problems are found, deal with them in time. During use, avoid hitting the glass hard to prevent glass from breaking due to external impact. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to controlling the indoor humidity. Excessive humidity may corrode the sealing material at the edge of the glass and affect the stability of the glass. By taking comprehensive preventive measures from multiple aspects such as glass quality control, correct installation, environmental factors, and daily maintenance and use, the risk of self-explosion of single glass partitions can be significantly reduced, ensuring their safe use in construction and interior decoration.
