Distortion in glass refers to any deviation from the perfect flatness or smoothness of the glass surface that can affect the clarity and accuracy of transmitted images. This type of distortion is significant in various applications, particularly in optics and architecture.

2019年11月25日 · Glass distortions may cause objects to appear irregular and out of focus when observed through a distorted glass panel. Any visual disturbance, such as roller waves, bow, warp etc., should be within the tolerances given in the appropriate standards, guidance or …

Damaged glass is always classed as unacceptable and will not be installed on site, however, there are a few types of visual distortions in glass that are well documented and accepted as a natural element of processed glass.

2024年6月25日 · Learn about optical image distortion and anisotropy in commercial glass and how to minimize them.

Optical Distortion – Alteration of viewed images in transmission or reflection (see Figure 1) caused by variations in glass flatness or inhomogeneous portions within the glass. Types of optical distortion include:

Glass distortion is subjective and the degree of perceptive distortion is influenced by the viewing angle, distance away from window, objects being viewed, sky conditions, and glass thickness.

Distortion in architectural glass, particularly tempered glass, is an inherent characteristic that is becoming more noticeable with modern advancements in glass technology, such as the widespread use of reflective low emissivity coatings.

However, reflective images from the mirror may exhibit slight distortion, which is a function of the glass used to fabricate the mirror or the result of the mirror installation. This Glass Technical Paper was written to provide you with information and expectations of allowable reflective distortion in annealed flat glass mirrors.

2024年2月23日 · This paper explains the most common types of visual distortion from the glass production process and considers a virtual prototyping approach.
