Temperature Difference Load

The Temperature Difference Load Calculator provides an estimate of the total stresses formed in a VIG due to an inside/outside temperature difference. The detail of the calculation can be found in Background Theory here. The table with calculated results can be downloaded as an Excel file by pressing the Download XLS button (available in desktop version only).
