What is BS EN 15681-1 - Alumino silicate glass products about?
BS EN 15681-1 is part one of a multi-series of European standards on glass in building which covers basic aluminosilicate glass products.
BS EN 15681-1 specifies and classifies basic aluminosilicate glass products, indicates their chemical composition, their main physical and mechanical characteristics, their dimensional and their minimum quality requirements (in respect of optical and visual faults).
BS EN 15681-1 applies to basic aluminosilicate glasses supplied in stock sizes, supplied sizes or in cut sizes for final end use.
Note: BS EN 15681-1 does not apply to final cut sizes having a dimension less than 100 mm or a surface area less than 0,05 m2.
Who is BS EN 15681-1 - Alumino silicate glass products for?
BS EN 15681-1 on alumino silicate glass products is useful for: 
- Aluminosilicate glass products manufacturers
- Constructors
Why should you use BS EN 15681-1 - Alumino silicate glass products?
Glass is an inflexible material that is formed by heating a mixture of dry solid materials until it reaches a semi-solid state, then cooling the mixture quickly to prevent it from forming the crystalline structure that most solid materials have.
Aluminosilicate glass is a type of glass that contains aluminum oxide, usually at levels between 20% and 40%. There are different types of Aluminosilicate glass, and they depend on their chemical compositions, with a particular focus on the oxide composition. They are mainly used for glass bulbs for halogen lamps, high-temperature thermometers, and thermally and electrically highly loadable film resistors.
BS EN 15681-1 walks us through the chemical composition, main physical and mechanical characteristics of basic alumino silicate glass products, BS EN 15681-1 also specifies their minimum quality requirements (in respect of optical and visual faults), this can help you in maintaining quality standards and thus increase credibility.
