Load Resistances, LR
Glass Deflections
LR = GTxLSxNFL
(ASTM E 1300-00)
Glass Type
Load Resistance
Monolithic ( 6.2)
Laminated ( 6.3)
Insulated ( 6.4)
Example 1
IG unit consisting of 2 1/8 annealed lites,
DLO=32x60
LR1 = LR2
LR = GTxLSxNFL
GT = 0.9 (Table 2)
LS = 2.0 (Table 7)

ASTM E 1300
What Does AAMA Say?
ANSI/AAMA/NWWDA 101/I.S.2-97
references ASTM E 1300-94
Glass used in testing must be minimum
strength required for given load and size
based on ASTM E 1300.
101/I.S. 2/NAFS-02 references ASTM E
1300-00 but E 1300-02 allowed by
certification bulletin.
Glass used in testing must be thinnest
and weakest in accordance with ASTM
E1300
