FUSELAGE - 4FTB333 - WINDSHIELD SPECIMENS VARIABLE PIGMENTED EDGE BITES - SOLARIUM DETERIORATION TEST OF -,
Abstract
Eighteen 4FTB333 windshield test specimens were received for solarium exposure testing. The specimens had pigmented edge depths ranging from 0.30 to 0.75 in. The 0.30 in. specimens are typical of the windshields now in service. Also included were control specimens which contained no pigmented interlayer. The specimens were placed in two solariums, 9 in each, and exposed to sunlight, 10% SO2, and humidity. Basing the service life of B-58 windshields on the time required for interlayer cracks to progress 2 in. in from the edge of the glass, increasing the pigmented interlayer depth will increase the service life of the windshield. In addition, an increase in the pigmented edge depth will also decrease the daylight opening of the windshield. (Author)
