The AGC Glass Thickness Calculator has been upgraded with ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) standards. 

Fully integrated in the AGC Glass Configurator, the Glass Thickness Calculator applies to vertical and sloped glazing for which the specified design loads consist of wind load, snow load, barrier load and cavity pressure variation. The tool is now compatible with both ASTM 1300 and EN 16612 standards with national load combinations.

With this latest upgrade, AGC offers a flexible tool allowing a conservative design for façade and roof glazing with state of the art calculation methodologies powered by Maffeis Engineering.
