  • Spec of Oven – Heat-Soak-Test Oven EK 4200 x 2500. 2 x Purpose built HST –A-Bar Stillage. 150 TPFE coated stillage bars for loading.
  • Purpose – To comply with standard EN 14179 Glass in building – Heat Soaked thermally toughened soda lime silicate safety glass, and reduce risk of spontaneous breakage of glass due to Nickel Sulphide Inclusion.
  • Benefit – Heat soaking is a process in which tempered glass is subjected to a temperature of 290°C for several hours in a heat-soaking oven. … It is estimated that up to 95% of nickel sulphide-contaminated panes of glass are usually destroyed by this process, reducing the chance of on-site spontaneous breakage. Heat Soaked Thermally toughened soda silicate glass has a safer breakage behavior when compared with annealed glass. It also has a known level of residual risk of spontaneous breakage arising from the possible presence of nickel sulphide (NiS) inclusions in the thermally toughened soda lime silicate glass.
  • Reason for Heat Soak Testing – Anybody, who produces tempered safety glass, has to deal with the spontaneous break risk. Even if a residual break probability exists, a Heat-Soak-Test increases the security – even from a legal point of view.In the Heat-Soak-Test oven tempered glass sheets are accomplished to a Heat-Soak-Test. Through this controlled heat treatment glass sheets with hazardous nickel sulfide inclusions break inevitably. The intact sheets are suitable for a safe glazing in the construction industry after running the HST-oven.
  • Why we choose TMB for our Heat Soak Test Oven – The Torgauer Maschinenbau GmbH is specialized in the field of Heat-Soak-Testing of tempered flat glass because of its many years of experience. Continuous research and development are a guarantee for a solid and reliable heat-soak-test oven with the latest, innovative and technical solutions. Thus, the appropriate advisory service of the customers and high service quality has the highest priority.
  • Quality Checks carried out – Each cycle and batch no. must be recorded and all graphs copied onto usb stick, then printed and filed, if a problem arises on site, we can then prove that particular batch has been through the Heat Soak Cycle.
