    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Classifies glass for building purposes by composition and gives dimensions (including tolerances), approximate masses and normal maximum size availability.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This Part of BS 952 classifies glass for use in building into three glass compositions: the commonly used soda lime-silicate glass, borosilicate glass and glass ceramics. Terms and definitions, together with details of nominal thickness, thickness tolerance, mass/unit area and the normally available maximum sizes are given.
