ASTM C162-23 PDF

Overview

ASTM C162-23: Standard Terminology of Glass and Glass Products provides authoritative definitions of terms commonly used within ASTM's C14 series of glass standards and the broader glass industry. By establishing consistent language, this terminology standard supports clear communication and understanding between manufacturers, suppliers, architects, engineers, and regulators involved in the design, production, testing, and specification of glass and glass products.

This standard, maintained by ASTM Committee C14, includes both current and historical glass terminology, clarifies industry-specific usages, and references additional glossaries from organizations such as the Glass Association of North America (GANA) and the National Glass Association (NGA). Definitions are updated as technologies evolve, with each revision reflecting changes in usage and technical development in the glass sector.
