ASTM C1036, “Standard Specification for Flat Glass,” has just been updated. The 2016 Edition is a technical update for the previous and now obsolete 2011 Edition. The new 10-page revision contains extensive changes to the requirements for annealed, monolithic flat soda-lime glass that is provided in cut sizes or as stock sheets. This type of glass is usually used for decorative and general glazing applications.
What kinds of glass are covered by ASTM C1036? The glass may be transparent, clear or tinted. The kinds of glazing products it is used for are coated glass, insulating glass, laminated glass, mirrors, spandrel glass and so on.
What kinds of changes are in the new 2016 Edition? Some of the definitions have been revised. And some definitions have been added or deleted. Many of the tables have been revised. Other updates can be found in parts of Section 5, Requirements, and Section 6, Test Methods. For this standard, we suggest the purchase of the redline edition to assist you in evaluating all modifications to the document.
The redline edition of ASTM C1036 will include 2 copies of the standard. One copy is a clean edition for the new 2016 release. The other copy is the previous 2011 Edition (with editorial corrections from 2012.) This copy contains the mark-up that specifies all areas where changes have been made to the publication. You’ll use both to support your gap analysis of the standard.
