Tempered Glass Strength Calculator for Screen
This table will provide estimated breaking strengths based on typical sizes and thicknesses of tempered glass, reflecting a basic understanding of how these variables impact the overall durability of the glass.
Table: Estimated Breaking Strengths of Tempered Glass for Screens
The breaking strength is estimated in terms of pounds per square inch (psi), assuming a direct correlation between the thickness and the unsupported area of the glass. The data provided in this table are theoretical and should be verified with real-world testing for specific applications.
| Width (in) | Height (in) | Thickness (mm) | Thickness (in) | Estimated Breaking Strength (psi) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | 3 | 1 | 0.039 | 130 |
| 5 | 3 | 2 | 0.079 | 260 |
| 10 | 6 | 1 | 0.039 | 65 |
| 10 | 6 | 2 | 0.079 | 130 |
| 15 | 9 | 1 | 0.039 | 43 |
| 15 | 9 | 2 | 0.079 | 87 |
| 20 | 12 | 1 | 0.039 | 33 |
| 20 | 12 | 2 | 0.079 | 65 |

Explanation of Table Columns:
- Width (in): The width of the glass panel in inches, representative of typical screen sizes.
- Height (in): The height of the glass panel in inches.
- Thickness (mm): The thickness of the glass in millimeters.
- Thickness (in): The thickness of the glass converted to inches (1 mm = 0.0393701 inches).
- Estimated Breaking Strength (psi): The theoretical breaking strength in pounds per square inch, calculated using a simplified model that estimates higher strength with increased thickness and smaller unsupported areas.
Usage:
This table should be used as a guideline for preliminary design considerations. For accurate predictions and to ensure safety and performance standards, physical testing under actual conditions or detailed finite element analysis (FEA) simulations are recommended.
