  • Publication number: 20210024400
    Abstract: An apparatus is provided for drawing glass ribbons from molten glass. The apparatus includes a drawing tank for holding the molten glass and a guiding body. The tank has a lower nozzle opening through which the molten glass can exit downwards. The nozzle opening has two nozzle slots defined between the guiding body and edges of the nozzle opening. The guiding body protrudes downward out of the nozzle opening. The guiding body is supported so as to be spaced apart from the edges with the guiding body suspended in a self-supporting manner at least along a central section of the nozzle opening.

  • Publication number: 20200150012
    Abstract: A method for testing the strength of a sheet-like element having two opposite faces and made of hard brittle material under tensile stress is provided. The method includes passing each of the faces of the element over a roller and thereby bending the element so that each of the faces is subjected to a first tensile stress in a portion in which the opposite face is in contact with a surface of the roller; exerting a second tensile force on the element in the direction of advancement so that both faces are subjected to the second tensile stress of at least 2 MPa so that the first and second tensile stresses add up to define a resultant tensile stress; and monitoring the element and determining whether the element has a defined breaking strength equal to the resultant tensile stress or whether the element breaks under the resultant tensile stress.
