How to choose ultra-white glass cylinder?
There are many friends who like to buy ultra-white cylinders. It can be said that ultra-white cylinders have become the first choice for buying cylinders. There are many types and brands of ultra-white cylinders on the market. There are also many manufacturers of ultra-white cylinders. Almost a craze has formed in the aquarium market.
In the selection of the ultra-white cylinder, Shanghai basically uses Pilkington, and the other uses domestic gold crystals. In fact, there is not much difference between the two materials in essence, but the gold crystal is bluish, and Pilkington is yellowish. Therefore, there are not many choices in materials, but some people use float glass to pretend to be ultra-white glass.When choosing, you can use the following methods to distinguish: ordinary float glass is illuminated by light, the cross-section is green, and ultra-white glass is blue. Another way to distinguish is to take a newspaper with words on one end of the cross-section, the ultra-clear glass can see the opposite word on the other end, but the ordinary one can't.
Let's talk about the workmanship of the super white cylinder. Most of the ultra-white cylinders are bare cylinders without pull straps, so the workmanship is directly related to the completeness and beauty of the cylinders. When choosing a super white cylinder, you can start from the following aspects:
1. Looking at the edging, a good edging should be smooth, without burrs and no white edges.
2. Looking at the accuracy, the error of the glass should not exceed half a millimeter. If the large surface of the glass is too different from the plug, the cylinder itself will lose its ornamental value.
3. Look at the glue, good glue evenly without bubbles or burrs! Cut the rubber seam about 1 mm, and the rubber edge takes up less area.
