About This Item

 

Full Description

While the benefits of using capillary tubes are straightforward, there are numerous issues when considering their use including:
  • 1) Magnitude of elevation change to require use
  • 2) IGU pressurization due to temperature difference
  • 3) Use with insulating gases
  • 4) IGU sizes and aspect ratios
  • 5) Glass thickness, type and coatings
  • 6) Glazing space thickness
  • 7) Short term (in transit) vs. long term (installed) elevation and/or temperature changes
  • 8) Types of edge seal construction
  • 9) Multiple-cavity IGUs (triples, quads, etc.)
  • 10) Proper IGU design and fabrication for use of capillary tubes
