| Inspection basis | Cosmetic inspection, dimensions, haze/transmission, coating/print registration, impact/environmental and assembly-seal tests |
Borosilicate Glass Properties Relevant to This Product Form
Published values retain their grade and source conditions. Finished-part behavior also depends on geometry, machining, edge condition and assembly.
| Material property | Published reference |
|---|---|
| Material category | Borosilicate |
| Thermal expansion | 3.3 +/- 0.1e-6 1/K (20 to 300 deg C) |

| Typical thickness | 3; 4; 5; 6; 8; 10 mm (Qingdao SSMG High Borosilicate Glass 3.3 sheet program) |
| Available forms | Sheet, plate, disc, window, tube, rod or blank where the named grade is supplied in that form |
Geometry, Surface and Inspection Requirements
Product-family data is a planning reference. The drawing must identify the exact shape, critical zones and measurable acceptance limits.
| Product requirement | What to define |
|---|---|
| Geometry and available forms | Flat cover, display cover, domed/pressed lighting cover, LiDAR cover or equipment guard window |
| Dimensions and thickness | Small sensor covers through equipment panels; provider examples include custom lighting discs and CNC panels |
| Holes, cutouts and features | Dimension holes, slots, cutouts, steps, grooves, radii and their edge distances. |
| Edge and surface zones | Seamed/ground for concealed covers, polished or chamfered for exposed edges |
| Inspection | Cosmetic inspection, dimensions, haze/transmission, coating/print registration, impact/environmental and assembly-seal tests |
| Packaging and handling | State cleanliness, protective film, separators, individual packing and shipping requirements. |
| Manufacturing route item | Review requirement |
|---|---|
| Supplied stock | Sheet, plate, disc, window, tube, rod or blank where the named grade is supplied in that form |
| Compatible route | Precision cutting; CNC/ultrasonic machining where qualified; grinding; lapping; polishing; cleaning; inspection |
| High-risk geometry | Grade, thickness, surface state, wavelength and temperature conditions must not be generalized |
| Drawing release | For Borosilicate Glass Protective Glass Cover, define datums, critical features, edge and surface zones, quantity, inspection and packaging before releasing the route. |
Inspection Focus for Custom Borosilicate Glass Protective Glass Cover Processing
Acceptance should connect every critical drawing characteristic to an instrument, fixture condition and stated limit.
| Review item | Project-specific focus |
|---|---|
| Product design risk | Impact breakage, edge damage, thermal shock, coating/print misregistration, glare and seal leakage |
| Product inspection | Cosmetic inspection, dimensions, haze/transmission, coating/print registration, impact/environmental and assembly-seal tests |
| Application failure modes | Sensor dropout, contamination, clamp fracture, coating wear, glare and maintenance damage. |
| Application inspection | Dimensions/edge, optical function with the sensor, vibration/cleaning cycles and fixture fit. |
| Acceptance method | Microscopic Edge Inspection: Compare calibrated result with the drawing, purchase order or approved test specification |
| Feature-to-edge damage | For Custom Borosilicate Glass Protective Glass Cover Processing, inspect chips, microcracks, breakouts and edge damage around processed features and adjacent walls. |
