Experts talk about whether tempered glass is good for fish tanks

The following is for reference

Tempered glass is more suitable for fish tanks than ordinary glass.

However, it should be noted that tempered glass cannot be cut or ground, and the corners cannot be bumped or squeezed. It must be selected according to ready-made size specifications or specific design drawings must be submitted for processing and customization.

Toughened glass has high strength, and its compressive strength can reach more than 125MPa, which is 4 to 5 times greater than ordinary glass; its impact strength is also very high. When measured with the steel ball method, a 0.8kg steel ball The glass can remain intact even after being dropped from a height of 1.2m.

The elasticity of tempered glass is much greater than that of ordinary glass. A piece of 1200mm × 350mm × 6mm tempered glass can have a bending deflection of up to 100mm after being stressed. When the external force is removed, it can still return to its original shape. Ordinary glass can only bend a few millimeters.

Good thermal stability and resistance to explosion when subjected to rapid cooling or heating is another characteristic of tempered glass.
